WarmJazz Guitar for Kontakt
A hollow-body electric guitar, warm by nature.
WarmJazz Guitar is a 2 GB hollow-body electric guitar sample library, focused on jazz guitar tone, but perfectly suited also for bossa nova, smooth jazz and old-school funk.
It is available for NI Kontakt 5-6-7-8 FULL version only.
Not compatible with Kontakt Player.
This library is built around a simple idea:
capture the natural tone of a hollow-body guitar and let the user shape it freely, exactly like a real electric guitar.
The Instrument and the Tone
WarmJazz Guitar is based on a hollow-body electric guitar with a neck humbucker pickup, the most commonly used pickup by jazz guitarists. This pickup delivers a tone that is:Warm and rich, Woody and rounded. Clean, with a naturally mellow character
It sits perfectly in a mix without harsh highs, making it ideal for chords, melodic lines and soft comping.
This is not a bright or aggressive guitar. It is designed for expressive, controlled and musical playing.
Recorded Like a Real Guitar
The guitar was recorded dry, without any effects, at 24-bit / 96 kHz, directly into the audio interface.
Exactly the same way you would record a real electric guitar.
This approach allows you to:
Use your favorite amp simulators
Shape the tone freely
Create an infinite range of guitar sounds
WarmJazz Guitar works perfectly with tools like Guitar Rig, Amplitube or any modern amp and effect chain.
Natural Playing Feel
WarmJazz Guitar includes 1,500 samples, captured to preserve natural performance details:
Full sustain
Natural decay, no loops
4 velocity layers
Round-robin alternate picking
Repeated notes do not trigger the same sample over and over.
Instead, you get upstroke and downstroke variations, avoiding the typical mechanical sound of many guitar libraries.
Live Mode
Most keyboard players keep the left hand on pitch bend and modulation wheels while playing with the right hand.
Live Mode is designed exactly for this workflow.
By simply moving the mod wheel, you can smoothly switch between:
Picked style
Palm-muted style
Thumb style
All without moving your left hand or changing articulation manually.
This makes WarmJazz Guitar extremely playable in real time.
Studio Mode
Studio Mode offers deeper control.
It includes 20 dedicated key switches, specifically designed for jazz articulations.
Articulations are velocity-dependent, allowing combined and musical playing:
Soft velocities keep the performance clean
Harder velocities introduce articulations naturally
At low velocities, you can change key switches without affecting what you are playing
This system allows expressive passages without breaking musical flow.
Why WarmJazz Guitar
WarmJazz Guitar is not about flashy features.
It is about tone, feel and control.
If you are looking for a warm, expressive hollow-body guitar that behaves like a real instrument and integrates naturally into your setup, this library does exactly that.
