Audiofier Micron FRETS
Each MICRON library is meticulously crafted around a specific genre, mood, or application. We’re talking laser-focused sonic palettes that nail the sound you’re after, whether it’s the suspenseful atmosphere for your next thriller, the driving pulse of a rock anthem, or the intricate layers of a modern electronic arrangement.
The XY Playable libraries are designed for more conventional musical performance, allowing users to play chords or melodies.
Play the Emotion of the Guitar Strings with FRETS.
Micron FRETS brings clean, expressive electric guitars into the Micron XY Playable engine. Every note is sampled diatonically across every string, giving you authentic responsiveness and depth. Choose which string fret group to perform on, just like a guitarist — for unique tonal variations and realism or let the engine choose the best position for your phrases.
From soft finger-picked notes to slanted, scratchy plectrum attacks — each articulation is carefully captured to convey warmth, intimacy, and emotion. Legato and round robin options give life and human feel to your playing, whether you're scoring a scene or composing worshipful ambient music.
