Tame your music.
Modus & Forma – Ambient Electric includes multi-velocity, round-robin multi-samples of all frets on all strings of the guitar and a capo selector to choose the ideal fret position to play. You can do this manually via key switches or let the instrument choose the best fret position.
All essential articulations included, plus more
Sustain, Hammer-on, Pull Off, Slide Up, Slide Down, Slanted Picking, Fingers, Harmonics, Bridge Picking, Rakes, Trills with variable speed, real Vibrato with variable speed, Bar Effect, Whammy Vibrato with variable speed.
Authentic Arpeggios
Modus & Forma (Ambient Electric) also offers two arpeggio modes: The simple arpeggio mode with 30 factory presets. Or the advanced arpeggio mode, which allows fingerpicking patterns, preset importing and exporting and randomisation. With both arpeggio modes, play a chord fingering with your left hand, and trigger the arpeggio mode via a key switch. Modus & Forma (Ambient Electric) will recognise and translate the chord to the most appropriate guitar fingering according to the desired fret position.
Fulfil your strumming needs.
Similarly, Modus & Forma (Ambient Electric) includes a strumming engine with the same chord recognition feature to produce realistic-sounding guitar strumming progressions.
Modus & Forma (Ambient Electric) includes hundreds of chord shapes and fingering already, but you can add your chord shapes and voicings and recall them in any project using the chord import/export feature.
Not just guitars
Modus & Forma (Ambient Electric) not only includes electric guitar samples but offers five additional layers to create full, rich and emotional sounds.
- A reverse layer with adjustable samples-start, reverb and delay.
- A pad layer with 18 pad sounds generated from guitar sound sources.
- A granules layer with lush convolution reverb.

Arpeggiate it
And if that was not enough, there is also an arpeggiator which will preserve hammer-on and pull-offs when the fret position requires it.
Randomise it
You can randomise each page individually, whether it is just the guitar type and settings, the amps or the effects, the step effects or the layers. But also, on the randomisation page, you can also create entirely new sounds by setting randomisation rules. Or let the engine create new sounds by choosing the basic, medium or extreme modes achieving sounds that are from sparkling clean to heavily effected, cinematic evolving, and anything beyond and in between.
Mix it
Finally, to take control of all this goodness, we have included a mixer page where all volume, pan and essential effects for each layer are adjustable at a glance.
