XBow Guitars
THE XBOW GUITARS PROJECT
This library is dedicated to exploring guitars played
inappropriately. We began this project with our
eBow Guitar library ten years ago. We’ve often
found that unique yet organic virtual instruments
can be created by playing conventional instruments
in unconventional ways.
We’ve followed this up with a Bowed Guitar instrument, in which both acoustic and
electric guitars are played with a violin bow.
We sampled several articulations like this, including playing with the wood of the bow ( col
legno ). The main violin bow articulation is a dynamic crossfade patch, interpolating
between the soft bow and the hard bow.
Another unusual technique we’ve put to good effect is Vibrator Guitar, in which an
‘electronic massage device’ is used to stimulate the strings. It’s quite an edgy sound, like
a constant tremolo effect. Again here we’ve explored this technique on both acoustic
and electric guitars.
