Real Guitar Samples

We’ve captured over a thousand pure electric guitar notes across every string, delivering two essential performance styles: lush sustains and punchy palm-mutes.

Switch seamlessly between layers, engage the scale-aware arpeggiator for instant patterns, or build ambient soundscapes. Guitarocracy effortlessly transforms your keyboard and MIDI ideas into precise, authentic guitar performances—giving producers and composers that genuine edge.

Generative Performance

Guitarocracy breaks past the barriers that bound traditional guitar plugins. It is a live performance instrument built for deep expression, instant inspiration, and infinite tonal variation.

• 🌌 Real-Time Generative Sequencing & Arpeggiation — Includes 12 intelligent playback modes featuring scale-aware randomization. Shift scales on the fly and watch the engine adapt instantly across three independently controllable harmonic lanes.
• 🪵 Pure Wood and Steel — Every note on every string is captured through its total natural decay. No loops, no artificial fades—just raw, resonant realism.

Real-Time Music Theory

See music theory as you play watch MIDI input translate directly onto the virtual guitar fretboard. Explore scales, modes, intervals and note positions visually as you perform.

This premium, multi-sampled instrument brings five velocity layers per articulation, per-string expression, and 128+ tweakable parameters right to your fingertips via any MIDI or NKS controller.
