Nine Volt Audio deliver some Textured Guitars for your tracks…

In 2006, Nine Volt Audio released its first BPM Flex Series (Electronic Guitars) which gave users the ability to use any loop from the collection at any tempo, down to 60 BPM. Since then, the Tennessee-based sample developers have released several titles in the series and this latest offering – Textured Guitars – is their first product for 2009.

With sounds that range from ethereal to electronic, clean to dirty and smooth to stuttered, Textured Guitars features over 500 loops designed to spark ideas, add interest to existing works and create new textural and rhythmic foundations for tracks across a wide variety of musical genres.

Textured Guitars uses an array of effects and signal processing combinations such as cascading delays, pulsing filters and rhythmic gates and combines them with vintage and modern amp sounds and a variety of electric guitars and playing styles. The result is a collection of loops that evolve, percolate and shift across the audio landscape.
