Sonora Cinematic has announced the release of the second instrument to be developed in the company’s Aria engine following on from Aria Vocalscapes earlier this year.

The Kontakt Player-powered Panorama Guitars was born from a love of the guitar textures of post-rock and shoegaze acts and the sounds that have inspired an abundance of music for media in the last three decades.

Encapsulating these iconic sounds ready to be shaped using the bespoke Aria engine, this versatile and cinematic modern post-rock guitar instrument is capable of fitting seamlessly into pop, rock, lo-fi hip-hop, and any project that requires pristine clean or crunchy guitar tones.

From haunting arpeggios and moving melancholy melodies to warm and soulful tones, these instruments add layers of cinematic depth to enrich compositions and mesmerise listeners. Best of all, this virtual instrument knows no bounds; users can import their own samples and utilise the Aria engine’s extensive controls and effects to create their own vast and distinct palette of sounds.
