It is a groundbreaking virtual instrument that brings the sound of meticulously recorded custom electric guitars to your fingertips. Designed with the utmost precision, this plugin empowers keyboardists to play authentic and dynamic electric guitar parts with nuances like pinch harmonics and palm muting. Whether you're into Djent, Metal, Death Core, or any rock genre in between, it lets you explore new sonic territories directly from your keyboard, all within the confines of your digital audio workstation.
Capturing the essence of live guitar performances is no small feat, but its Synthetic Force engine rises to the challenge. By blending ultra hi-res electric guitar samples with dynamic artificial synthesis, Hydro produces lifelike guitar sounds that rival traditional recording setups. This cutting-edge synthetic DI engine generates authentic harmonic resonances based on your playing style, giving you an unparalleled advantage over conventional sample-based virtual guitars. Whether in the studio, on stage, or in rehearsal, Hydro ensures your MIDI guitar tracks sound organic and vibrant.
It takes your keyboard performance to the next level by enabling real guitar techniques. Pitch bends, slides, palm mutes, and pinch harmonics become second nature as you control them effortlessly with your keyboard. Thanks to Hydro's real-time generated harmonics, these techniques seamlessly blend into your arrangements, delivering an authentic guitar-playing experience. Moreover, Hydro boasts an ultra-low latency profile, making it a fantastic choice for live performances where timing is everything.
Unlike traditional magnetic pickups, piezo pickups are celebrated for their acoustic resonance. Its innovative design pairs piezo pickups with magnetic ones, granting you access to lush acoustic tones and hard-hitting rock sounds. Moreover, it lets you invert the piezo pickup phase individually for each string, providing unprecedented tonal control.
Its thunderous tone emerges from its 7-string configuration with a low B string. This feature offers an expansive range perfect for genres like metal, rock, djent, and jazz. Adding a seventh string offers new possibilities for chord voicings and intricate solos, amplifying Hydro's versatility and musical potential.
It integrates with your preferred pedals, amps, and effects from Plugin Alliance's MEGA Bundle. Whether you're crafting aggressive rock solos, intricate jazz harmonies, or catchy pop melodies, its Synthetic Force Engine, combined with its seven strings and piezo pickups, ensures your virtual DI guitar synth experience is nothing short of exceptional.
