Key Features
UJAM Virtual Guitarist Silk is an ultra-realistic classic nylon-stringed guitar plug-in. Capturing the elegance of a vintage, German hand-made 1967 guitar together with a world-class session player, Virtual Guitarist Silk is the only alternative to the real thing. Comprised of over 60 styles and 670 phrases spanning everything from arpeggios, chords and patterns, you have complete control over the dynamic of the performance from clean and smooth to vivid fortissimo. Meticulously recorded and engineered using five premium-quality small-diaphragm condenser microphones and channel strips simultaneously, Silk offers a broad tonal palette to play with.
Presented in a simple interface, Silk enables users of all abilities to get professional nylon-string guitar sounds fast. Complex performance parameters are simplified down to give you complete control over everything from the sound to the feel with onboard Swing, Timing and Feel controls. The perfect companion to contemporary producers looking to inject their pop ballads with authentic performances and stellar sound, Virtual Guitarist Silk is as close to the real deal as possible.
Product Ref: 225028
No matter your skillset or production knowledge, Silk has been designed to let you get studio-ready results in a matter of minutes. No deep menu diving, complicated non-musical terms or clustered interfaces, just a simple layout that offers easy tweaking to get the sound you want fast.
Providing you with only a few key controls, you are awarded the flexibility to customise the performance of your Virtual Guitarist to get realistic results quickly. Four simple Swing, Timing, Feel and Variance parameters let you hone in on the groove to sit within the pocket of your composition with ease. Taking it one step further, Virtual Guitarist Silk also allows you to tweak the Play Position and Fret Noise level for an added layer of realism and depth in your sound.
Nothing says virtuoso like complex performances and detailed techniques. Virtual Guitarist Silk distils the ability of a world-class session musician down to a selection of 670 characteristics in over 60 playing styles to help you lift your productions to the next level. A wide range of articulations and techniques including arpeggios, patterns and chord riffs have been included to take you from vivid fortissimo style phrases suitable for dance and pop compositions.
Studio recordings can often be laborious and time-consuming to set all the equipment up. Let Silk take care of the sound for you and focus your creativity on other aspects of your production. Starting with an immaculate condition instrument, Silk is complemented by a myriad of tonal shaping options. Starting with the performance, Virtual Guitarist Silk features a handy position dial that enables you to virtually move the performer's hand between neck and bridge. This small but significant parameter opens up realistic tonality changes such as fret noise to add an extra layer of authenticity to your mix.
Captured in meticulous detail, UJAM Virtual Guitarist Silk has been recorded through five sophisticated microphone and channel strips simultaneously. Distilled down into five positions on the character switch, Silk offers five specifically-selected possibilities of all 25 combinations to ensure you can find the right sound for your mix. Further manipulation of the sound is presented using the mics control, enabling you to select between five of the high-end small-diaphragm microphone combinations.
Outside of selecting the character of the instrument and recording chain, UJAM Virtual Guitarist Silk includes a slew of effects to add ambience and atmosphere to your sound. Reverb, Delay and a one-button Doubling option are all presented to take your sound design to next level. The secret sauce of acoustic guitar sounds, Silk features the proprietary Animate algorithm. This tool has been custom-built for nylon guitar sounds, adding depth, movement and articulation to help your sound cut through dense mixes with ease.
The secret to Virtual Guitarist Silk's shimmering tone can be pinpointed to one major factor. The German hand-made nylon string guitar built during the golden years for luthiers, this vintage 1967 instrument combines with a world-class session musician to deliver the articulation, body and warmth you'd expect from a vintage instrument. Captured using a proprietary in-phase recording technique and edited using cutting-edge techniques, Virtual Guitarist Silk is the closest you can get to world-class studio recordings without ever picking up the guitar for yourself.
