Evolution Electric Guitar Strawberry - NEW VERSION RELEASED from Orange Tree Samples!!

“This is it! Finally a guitar I can play that doesn't hurt my fingers. Seriously this is the best Guitar sample set I've ever come across- Just bought it and I'm BLOWN AWAY” - James Venable (Zack and Miri, Clerks II, Scary Movie 3/4, Samurai Jack)
 
We’re proud to announce the release of the new version of Evolution Electric Guitar - Strawberry. This latest version upgrades the library to the new Evolution guitar engine premiered by our recently-released Evolution Electric Guitar - Stratosphere sample library for KONTAKT. The new version is completely FREE for existing owners of the library. If that’s you, be sure to check your email to download the new version.
 
The update features tons of new features and improvements:
 
For example, Strawberry has an intuitive, powerful strumming pattern editor. We felt it was important to make something that represents strumming better than the traditionally-used step sequencer approach, so we came up with a more powerful system that’s fast and easy to use. It gives you control over which strings get strummed, the direction of the strum, and the speed of the strum. Plus, you can use many articulations within a single strum pattern, and even incorporate special effects like string slaps as part of the pattern.
 
Next, all the factory presets are available directly inside Strawberry’s interface, meaning that you can see the preset name at all times as well as use convenient arrow buttons to scroll through the included collection of factory guitar tones and strumming patterns. We converted many of the fan favorites from the previous version as well as adding lots of new clean, crunchy, and distorted preset options.
 
Finally, Evolution Electric Guitar - Strawberry comes with a robust guitar effects engine, including a vast collection of over $8,000 of modeled guitar pedals. In fact, in the time between releasing Evolution Electric Guitar - Stratosphere, we’ve added several new reverb pedals. Additionally, you have selectable guitar cab sizes with several options for microphones and mic placement. All together, you have a comprehensive guitar effects suite at your fingertips without external guitar effect processors necessary to get amazing-sounding tones.
 
But don’t just take our word for it, let your ears decide.

Thanks Greg.  Played around with the new engine today.  Sounds great, and has so many great presets both for tone and for strumming.  Really nice update!

Or, maybe not. i did not get the email yet. I expect they are sent out in batches.

Glyn and Brando, did you receive the update email yet? The last of them got sent out this morning, but if you still haven't got the email let me know and I'll sort it out right away!

Thanks Greg, Received and downloaded. I will transfer across to the DAW and hopefull get some time to play later today.

All I can says is the update made a great product even better.! I am looking forward to Steel Strings getting the same treatment.

+Me

I spent the better part of several hours yesterday playing every bit of guitar I could find trying out the new OTS Strawberry Electric.  I couldn't stop!  It is astounding to me how realistic it sounds.  I'd play something and it'd would sound great, and then I'd say, "I wonder if I can play (insert song here)" and off I'd go again.
 
I tried some Stone Temple Pilots, some Pink Floyd, Genesis, and even a bit of Van Halen.  I went to play "Unchained" by Van Halen and i noticed the tuning is a Drop D. Hmmm...I thought.. (clicks on a few screens)..here it is!  Put it in Drop D and off I went.  I can do alright on the chords for Unchained and Panama.  I have no hope on Eddie's solos though!
 
At any rate, I put together a quick version of the intro to "If This Is It" by Huey Lewis and the News using OTS Electric for the lead and OTS Cherry bass for the bassline.  It's one of my favorite 80's songs.  I did it all a bit quickly so the mix isn't the greatest, but I still think it sounds pretty cool.

Great news about the Steel Strings update! Love both the Strawberry update and the new Stratosphere. Thanks, Greg!

Hey Greg, after Steel Strings is done, how a about a new Rick 12 String library?

what is Strawberry?  it's not really Les Paul but it sort of sounds that way.

It's a Hagstrom Select Swede, which has humbucker pickups similar to a Les Paul.

And after that could you give a definitive answer? White/Gold or Black/Blue?

Turquoise and puce all the way. ;)
