LIBRARY
Thank you for purchasing Apollo.
From Vir2 Instruments, the creators of the awardwinning Electri6ity, Apollo, and MOJO Horns, comes
Apollo: Cinematic Guitars, a revolutionary new guitar
virtual instrument for the Kontakt Player. Created for all
forms of music production, Apollo offers five
innovative categories packed with features to enhance
the creative process, as well as save time and increase
productivity. The goal of Apollo is to provide the
modern composer with real guitar samples, real
strums, and real sounds made straight from the best
guitars, effects pedals, amps, and signal flow possible.
Vir2 worked with some of the industry’s best
composers and producers to bring you a
comprehensive collection of sounds to give you exactly
what you need for your next composition.
Apollo provides five unprecedented categories that will 02
generate endless opportunities for creativity:
The Swells category is a vast collection of sounds
giving you the option to trigger strums of both high
and low iterations of major and minor chords for each
sound. Individual notes were sampled per sound in
order to give the user the ability to create their own
voicings.
The Pads category puts sound design into the hands of
the user. Apollo features the ability to load and mix
two unique pads, allowing for the creation of
thousands of unique guitar-based pads.
The Ambient Designer category delivers an
experimental approach to sound design by engineering
various tonal and non-tonal sounds to create custom
guitar-based atmospheres. It utilizes various noises and
sounds made solely with the guitar, including guitar
plucks, phrases, violin bow on strings, fingers sliding on
strings, white noise, amp buzz, and much much more.
Each of these sounds can be combined, mixed, and
APOLLO
panned to create the perfect atmosphere for
compositions across all genres.
