Plugin Alliance WEDGE FORCE Hydro v1.0.1 [WIN]
Riff and solo in synthesis with the new 7-String Powerhouse from WEDGE FORCE
Studio-recorded electric guitar in hi-res audio
WEDGE FORCE Hydro recreates the sound of a professionally recorded custom electric guitar, giving keyboard players the power to play realistic and expressive electric guitar parts complete with pinch harmonics and palm muting. Djent, Metal & Death Core and virtually any kind of rock in between, now on the keyboard and in the box.
The sound of the world’s most iconic custom-made guitars, professionally synthesized with the patented craft of the WEDGE FORCE team and the best possible equipment.
Create lifelike MIDI guitar tracks
By capturing the nuances of live performances, Hydro enables keyboardists to achieve lifelike guitar sounds in the studio, or while performing or rehearsing. WEDGE FORCE’s Synthetic Force engine creates their signature sounds using ultra hi-res electric guitar samples which are threaded with dynamic artificial synthesis. This proprietary synthetic DI engine generates realistic harmonic resonances based on the combination of notes played, giving it an edge over purely sample-based virtual guitars.
Perform with real guitar techniques
Hydro lets you perform pitch bends, slides, palm mutes, and pinch harmonics using your keyboard. Hydro’s real-time generated harmonics make these guitar techniques sound lifelike in your arrangements. Additionally, Hydro features an ultra-low latent profile, making it an excellent choice for live performances.
