Finding flexible, inspiring guitar sounds can be tough for desktop musicians. Enter Cinesamples with its recipe for seamless strumming

It’s easy to be envious of musicians who drift from one instrument to another, with seemingly little effort. For most of us DAWbound musicians, we find ourselves seated in front of two types of keyboards; one for computer control, and the other for playing notes and music, although some might gravitate to pads for samples and drums. Meanwhile, those lucky few who are adept with frets, might have a permanently connected guitar, ready to record those rare grooves as the production zeitgeist envelops them.

New Continuum

Cinesamples, as their name might imply, have an established reputation with an everincreasing catalogue of cinematic libraries, from full orchestral suites, through to more esoteric packages that complement different styles and genres. Continuum Guitars straddles the cinematic and contemporary production genre perfectly, with a very different take to the more usual groove-fests that might be found in other guitar packages.

This becomes immediately apparent as you begin to audition the preset content. With over 200 patches bidding for attention, this package does offer a degree of groove content, but its forte really lies with its capacity to create interesting textures and tones, with potential to generate movement in real time.
