Shreddage is the hit guitar virtual instrument by Impact Soundworks used by
thousands of composers and producers worldwide. Armed with this ReFill, you
can write and perform virtually any rock or metal rhythm riff, from the
fastest galloping palm mutes, to spacey vibrato, massive powerchords, or
anything else you can think of.
Designed with heavy amped genres in mind, Shreddage was recorded clean (direct
in) so you can add whatever tone you would like, or even use it totally
unprocessed. The included all-in-one Combinator patches have an excellent
chain built right in already, which you can use as a basis or add your own
pedals and amps.
To achieve the greatest possible realism and the heaviest sound, a 6-string
electric guitar was recorded starting at an insane Drop Ab (!) and going up
three octaves. Monster power chords, multiple intensities of palm mutes, full
chokes, harmonics, vibrato, scrapes, slides, tremolo, and other key playing
techniques were all captured, with the core sustains and mutes of the library
including up to 8x RR variations (4x up and 4x down strokes).
Playing Shreddage can be done without any complex MIDI commands or special
layering. Just load one of the master Combinator patches, adjust the tone to
your liking, and all articulations are available at once. The left hand is
used for power chords, the right hand for single notes, and then lower
velocities for more muted notes and higher velocities for more open and
aggressive ones. Tapping and holding keyswitches or the modwheel are used to
trigger other sounds like slides, harmonics, and squeals.
Whether you are mocking up a rock and metal track, creating one from scratch,
or you just want to add powerful electric guitar rhythms to your soundtrack,
pop tune, or EDM hit, Shreddage is your ideal tool.
