UJAM Virtual Guitarist Sparkle

Full Description

Get realistic results faster than ever

No matter your skillset or production knowledge, Sparkle has been designed to let you get studio-ready results in a matter of minutes. No deep menu diving, complicated non-musical terms or clustered interfaces, just a simple layout that offers easy tweaking to get the sound you want fast.

Providing you with only a few key controls, you are awarded the flexibility to customise the performance of your Virtual Guitarist to get realistic results quickly. Two simple Swing and Feel parameters let you hone in on the groove to sit within the pocket of your composition with ease. Taking it one step further, Virtual Guitarist Sparkle also allows you to tweak the Play Position and Fret Noise level for an added layer of realism and depth in your sound.

The only substitute for world-class studio guitarists

Getting radio-ready guitar tones has never been easier for non-guitarists! As well as having the same feel as a world-class performer, Sparkle sounds just as good. Comprised of a meticulously sampled, engineered and recorded instrument and five unique hand-picked amplifier types, you're always guaranteed a classy tone full of vibrancy and character. Everything from Clean to Rough is included to give you a full palette of tones to work with. Each tone can be customised using the onboard effects including the signature Drive and Grit algorithms, helping to boost your tone into a more crunchy territory to cut through dense mixes. Additionally, time and spatial effects including Delay, Chorus, Reverb and Doubling are all on hand to give your sound a place within your stereo field. The perfect tool for just about any composer, Sparkle lets you traverse everything from '60s classic rock, and '70s disco through '00s indie and pop with ease.

Composers best friend

Guitarists often play several different ways to achieve their sound. From complex chords, octaves or single-note riffs, many different techniques make up a performance. Giving you access to more than 1000 different characteristics in 98 different styles, Virtual Guitarist Sparkle will help you strut through chords, octaves or just about anything else you might need to help your production pop.

The sounds of an American classic

Only the best in class will do when it comes to studio recording, and Sparkle is no exception. Recorded using an American industry classic, the sound of the single-coil pickups is exactly the remedy for indie, country, pop and disco tunes. Customised to create the celebrated 'bell-like' sound, the Sparkle Virtual Guitarist lets you instantly unlock the signature sound of professional recordings. Four pickup positions have been included for every style, letting you navigate the perfect sound for your recordings.
