Pettinhouse WarmJazz Guitar for Native Instruments Kontakt 2-3 is an innovative 2GB hollow-body electric guitar sample library dedicated to jazz but also suitable for Bossanova, smooth jazz and old funk.
The guitar has been recorded at 24Bit 96Khz dry without any effects directly to the audio interface exactly like when you plug a real electric guitar into it.
In this way you can add your favorite amp simulator such as NI Guitar Rig or Amplitube and shape the sound as you wish. WarmJazz allows you to create an infinite number of guitar sounds.
1,500 samples, full sustain, natural decay (no loops), 4 velocity layers, round robin for alternate picking.
It means that if you hit a key repeatedly you can hear two different samples, upstroke and downstroke pick instead of that typical unnatural sound coming from the same sample.
The sound of the neck humbucker pick-up
An humbacker neck pickup which has been sampled is the most used pickup by jazz guitarrists. It sounds wonderfully rich, woody, clean with a slighty mellow sound.
WarmJazz is very easy to use. You don't need to remember hundreds of key switches, functions or patches. You load it and It’s ready to use!
Live and Studio
Most of the keyboard players is accustomed to keep the left hand on the pitchbend and mod wheels while the right hand is playing notes.
Live mode allows you to simulate the pick style, the palm muted and the thumb style just moving up and down the mod wheel without moving your left hand.
Studio mode includes 20 key switches dedicated to jazz. All the articulations depend on key velocity to allow for combined playing. This system allows you to play straight passages with certain articulations being introduced with harder velocities. At low velocities you are able to change key switches without affecting what you are playing. Click here for key switches map.
