Description

• Non-Repeating Round Robin:

  The playback engine uses a non-repeating algorithm to split 2 samples either side in a round-robin fashion. This results in a realistic sound and removes the “machine-gun” effect.

• No Weak Picking:

  In addition to regular sampling, I went in and recorded individual atonal pick attacks to layer on top of the original notes. No more weak picking!

• Simple Writing:

  No keyswitches. Use low-velocity for palm mutes and high velocity for sustains. Additional articulations are mapped to the coloured FX keys (like Pick Scrapes or Dead Notes).

• Fret Noise and Release Samples:

  Additional noise samples were individually recorded and have a random chance to trigger on release.

• Force Downpick:

  For riffs that need to slam extra hard, the Force Downpick switch mutes the up-stroke articulations. This can be automated using any DAW’s inbuilt automation.

• Direct Signal Only:

  Achromic outputs a raw signal (DI), you’ll need to provide your own sweet-sounding amps or simulations to really make the sound your own.
