Baritone Guitar Washes is a cinematic Kontakt pad instrument designed as a powerful engine for creating detailed sound. Its unique, versatile Washes sound engine creates beautiful ambient swells, pads, plucks and stabs based on recordings of an electric baritone with an aluminum neck custom-made for the legendary Italian ambient composer Eraldo Bernocchi (Sigillum S, Obake, Simm, Harold Budd, Bill Laswell). The instrument’s deep resonance and incredible sustain make it ideal for creating sustained pads and other ambient sounds.
The Washes engine contains three layers: Body, Grit, and Air. Each has a specific function and sonic characteristics. There are also detailed effects controls and an Edge control, which is connected to the modulation wheel by default for added richness and shaping of the spectrum to add more imperfection and presence.
The resulting palette of possible sounds is unique, while still maintaining the DNA of the original sound. Whether you’re looking for subtle icy grooves, warm and shiny harmonic pads, or sharp and spiky atonal textures, Baritone Guitar Washes is guaranteed to have something for you.
