Acousticsamples has announced the release of Strategy, a deep sampled electric guitar instrument for UVI Workstation and Falcon.

Following up on the Sunbird, the GD-6 and Telematic, and the UKU ukulele instrument, the latest member of the Acousticsamples guitar libraries family is based on a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar.

The instrument features recordings of all frets of all strings with upstrokes, downstrokes, round robins, releases, staccatos, mutes, palm mutes, hand blocks, slides, hammer ons, pull offs, retriggers, fretnoises and other articulations.

It features 3 single coil pickups (bridge, middle and neck) that give it a very unique and tweakable tone. We were able to sample all three pickups separately and give access not only to the 5 positions available on the real instrument, but you can also control each volume separately and even mix the 3.

It comes with a set of 10 very realistic effects and 8 different amps modelled after most of the best guitar amps on which you can choose exactly how you set the microphones, providing you with all the necessary tools to shape its sound exactly like you want.

It features our powerful strum engine, pattern maker and song builder available in our other guitar libraries like the Sunbird or the GD-6, making the Strategy library the perfect tool to create accompaniments or solos.
