MOJO: Upright Bass

Vir2 Instruments is proud to introduce MOJO: Upright Bass, a premier addition to the MOJO instrument family. Over the past year, they have dedicated themselves to developing the most advanced and lifelike upright bass virtual instrument available. With the skill of the acclaimed jazz bassist, Stefan “Pista” Bartus, and an exceptionally talented sampling team, they are excited to present this uniquely resonant 150-year-old double bass.

With a dynamic range featuring up to six layers, up to eight round-robins, true legato, and an array of superbly designed presets and MIDI grooves, you can take your standup bass performances to new heights. Additional features include speed-dependent articulation switching for note repetitions, the option to select specific bass strings, beautifully authentic vibrato sustains, simulated vibrato based on real vibrato curves for enhanced control, adjustable string buzz, and an FX Suite for full customization.

This exquisite jazz upright bass offers five microphone positions, along with a pre-mixed option to accommodate lighter computer usage. Recorded through the Studer A900 analog console and Lynx Aurora 16 A/D converters at 24bit/96kHz, this instrument is meticulously sampled with eight articulations. These include performable repetitions, a variety of percussive hits on different parts of the bass body for extended creative possibilities, and genuine played chords.

MOJO: Upright Bass encompasses over 35 GB of uncompressed sample content. Whether your project demands the genuine feel of human playing for jazz, pop, rockabilly, or any genre where a synthetic sound just won’t do, this instrument delivers. The goal was to create an standup bass library that fulfills every requirement for composing, programming, and recording incredibly realistic bass lines. With MOJO: Upright Bass, that vision is now a reality.

Electri6ity

After more than three years of development, Vir2 Instruments presents Electri6ity, an epic electric guitar virtual instrument containing the most advanced, detailed, and versatile collection of electric guitars ever made in a virtual instrument.

Electri6ity contains eight of the most famous and distinguished guitar tones in the history of the instrument. More than 24,000 24-bit samples were taken of each guitar. Three pickup options (front, rear, and mixed) are available on every guitar. An impressive amount of samples allow you to play every articulation on every fret of every string for an absolutely authentic guitar sound. Downstrokes, upstrokes, seamless velocity layers, ghost notes, mutes, harmonics, hammer-ons, pulloffs, slides, releases, and FX...the sky is the limit with Electri6ity.

Electri6ity also utilizes the most advanced scripting to date, including the revolutionary Articulation Morphing Technology (A.M.T.) and Velocity Morphing Technology (V.M.T.), allowing for the seamless morphing from dead mute to sustain or from soft to loud. Advanced string and fretboard positioning is performed by artificial intelligence which adapts to your playing. Play fluid lines in real time using the legato engine, play chords using the chord detection engine which understands almost two thousand different chords, easily double-track, do unison bends, strum, pick, trill, tremolo pick, slide...all of this is built into the Electri6ity engine and full editing control is given over each of these parameters.

All samples in Electri6ity are recorded clean - a direct input from the guitar. Use Electri6ity's built-in multieffects (phaser, flanger, chorus, reverb, and delay), Screamer module, and amp simulation (British, Classic, Clean, Jazz, Metal, Modern, and Rock) to make the sound come alive, or use your own guitar amps or simulators to multiply the possibilities.

It features both plectrum and finger picking, and Blumlein stereo recordings alongside the piezo pickup perspective. Thousands of samples across more than a dozen articulations were recorded for each instrument, including sustains, mutes, releases, legatos, hammer-ons and pull-offs, slides, harmonics, and effects. Acou6tics also features virtual room control with adjustable mic distance and sympathetic resonance.

Acou6tics is powered by the industry-leading Kontakt engine. It is compatible with VST, RTAS (Pro Tools 9 & 10), and AAX (Pro Tools 10 & 11) plug-in formats allowing it to work seamlessly within any major sequencer, in addition to standalone use.
