18 Instrument Modules

12 Extra-Long Guitar Patches

• 6 Hojave Guitars: Raw, almost cello sounding patches with a lot of fortuitousness and life for creating intimate textures or to enhance realism (as an additional layer).
• 6 Badlands Guitars: Straight, edgy and sometimes organ-like sounding patches for creating sharper or epic soundscapes
• Techniques: Bowed, tremolos, vibratos, beaten (with a wooden stick), driven patches

4 Super-Large Texture Patches

Open, huge and spacey patches for creating ethereal or even symphonic orchestra sounding textures when mixing with other patches. Straight, super long reverbs created with several eurorack modules, Eventide and Strymon pedals.

Extreme Timestretch & Synth Sublayer

Additional patches for extra colouring options including a 300x Stretched Bowed Guitar patch and Moog Subsequent37 Taped Synth patch.
