THREE-BODY TECHNOLOGY Heavier 7 Strings Metal Guitar Virtual Instrument Plug-In (Download)

The metal-style Three-Body Technology Heavier 7 Strings is a sampler-based, 7-string guitar virtual instrument plug-in with a fully equipped effects rack and a library of 200 MIDI patterns in various styles, including metal, rock, pop, and clean. Playable on a keyboard in real time, it presents keyboardists with new creative opportunities by giving them access to authentic sounds and precise articulations previously available only to metal guitar players, while being able to compose and perform using their preferred instrument.

7-String Virtual Instrument

High-quality A/D conversion and low noise level—24-bit / 48 kHz

4 years of recording and engineering to bring you original samples

10,000+ samples, 8 GB in total

Individual samples for infinite sustain with adjustable decay rate

Effects Rack

Fully equipped effects rack

19 x effect modules including Screamer, EQ12, AMP, Flanger, Ping-Pong delay, and more

16 x AMPs with styles from heavy metal to clean. 2x to 8x sample rate processing

66 x cabinet IRs—up to four at once with adjustable delay, volume, and phasing

200 x factory presets, along with a preset manager to store your own presets

Realistic DSP

Proprietary sampler designed with no compromise on sound quality

Direct-from-disk stream allows for more efficient resource usage

THRASH (Tonal/Harmonic Reconstruction and Shaping) DSP engine dynamically reconstructs formant and produces refined pitch-bend and pitch-shift sounds

Dynamically adjustable sample harmonics

RR (Round-Robin) gives you different sound when notes are played repeatedly

Samples have at most 16 RRs recorded

THRASH engine induces randomized tone changes in addition to recorded samples, to produce realistic repeated playing

Adjustable, real-world sampled-LFO for authentic vibrato—uses pitch-shift curve from real-world vibrato playing to modulate the normal-playing samples

Each instance of Heavier 7 Strings shares the same memory, allowing for many instances without occupying additional resources

Real-Time Virtual Guitar Performance

Automatic determination on fret board position, up/down picking, and strumming

Automatic playing of power chords

Chord detect function

Chord Mapping allows you to easily play guitar chords from a keyboard

24 hot keys and flexible key-mapping system allows for complex real-time performance styles, string and fret assignments, and adjustable humanization

True doubling: Two guitars playing simultaneously on left and right channel, each has individual random note delay and RR selection

Flexible CC mappings instead of fixed key-switch assignments, allowing greater freedom when switching playing styles

Unison bend. Choose whether pitch-bend affects all notes in a chord, or only the lowest note
