Key Features
The SoundIron Axe Machine is a behemoth in the virtual electric guitar library, designed specifically for metal. It showcases Craig Peters' custom Kiesel Aries 7-string, bringing to your fingertips an arsenal of open and muted notes, power chords, harmonics, and an array of special effects like scrapes and fret noise. With over 31.9GB of samples recorded in pristine 24-bit 48kHz quality, this library offers unmatched authenticity and realism.
Whether you're composing metal tracks or adding edge to your scores, Axe Machine provides flexible and intuitive controls, including an LFO, filter, glide, arpeggiator, and a comprehensive FX rack. This library is not just about sheer power but also about giving you the creative freedom to dial in your signature tone using studio-grade effects and amplifier models. With Axe Machine, the essence of metal guitar is at your command, ready to be moulded into whatever your project demands.
Product Ref: 293328
Axe Machine's advanced articulation system is a game-changer, offering instant access to six unique articulation types, including pick sustains, palm mutes, and pinch harmonics. With twelve key-switchable articulation slots, you can tailor your performance setup to your exact preferences, ensuring each note and chord strikes with precision and authenticity. The ability to customize articulation mapping, volume, and pick direction settings enhances the playability and realism of every track.
This library's intuitive user interface and comprehensive FX rack bring your guitar tones to life. With 27 DSP effect modules, you have endless possibilities to shape your sound, from classic phasers and flangers to compressors and amp simulators. The inclusion of 99 convolution reverb impulse responses, along with 40 custom FX impulses, allows for a vast sonic exploration, enabling you to create both traditional and avant-garde tones.
Designed specifically for the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt, Axe Machine seamlessly integrates with this industry-standard software, providing a smooth and efficient workflow. While the library operates in a "demo mode" on the free Kontakt Player, its open-format design ensures compatibility with a wide range of WAV-compatible software, offering flexibility across different production environments.
Drawing on the expertise of metal guitarist Craig Peters, this library not only captures the sonic essence of his custom 7-string guitar but also offers presets fine-tuned by Peters himself. Whether seeking a pure D.I. signal for reamping or a ready-to-use high-gain tone, Axe Machine delivers with authenticity and power, making it a must-have for metal producers and guitar enthusiasts alike.
"I love drop-tuned, super-heavy guitars and they're notoriously hard to sample well, but SoundIron seems to have cracked the code with Axe Machina! It sounds rugged and thick, with great performance features to tweak the playability, a nice variety of different amp tones, and it extends all the way to low F. That's almost an octave below normal guitar tuning! My chugs have never sounded so fat. Fantastic!" - Charlie Clouser
"Axe Machine is now my go-to VST for heavy guitar, period. Just insane-sounding and getting realistic performances out of it is simple. No brainer!" - Chris Dudley
"Axe Machine is an incredibly realistic and playable 7-string guitar library. Once you turn on the sequencer the possible arpeggios will make you feel like a guitar virtuoso. There is nothing like this in the digital world." - Serj Tankian
