Should you not need this highest level of detail, two further sub‑folders provide 'lite' versions of each guitar, offering sustain and muted, or sustain articulations only. These patches are the fully detailed instruments, comprising all articulations. The Instruments folder contains two sub‑folders: DI and Amped. Library StructureĮlectri6ity's library is very simply organised. Installation turned out to be a lengthy process, no doubt due to the sheer number of samples involved - in my case it took six hours! An ideal opportunity to watch the DVD boxed set of Brideshead Revisited, then. Permanent activation of the library is via the usual Native Instruments Service Center (sic) application.

Over 24,000 24‑bit samples were taken of each guitar - clearly a labour of love for Vir2's programmers! The library spans four DVDs, and is supplied with the free Kontakt 4 Player. Despite streaming samples from hard disk, Electri6ity demands a significant amount of RAM: one Electri6ity instrument with all articulations loaded consumes in the region of 700MB.Įlectri6ity offers highly detailed recreations of not just one, but eight classic electric guitars, a summary of which can be found in the 'About The Guitars' box. Tens of thousands of samples are involved, covering many articulations and playing techniques. Electri6ity is based around a 28GB core library, hosted by NI's popular Kontakt 4 Player, and so works with Macs and PCs.
