About
Fractured: Prepared Acoustic Guitar is an expansive sample library from Vir2 Instruments that takes the humble acoustic guitar and transforms it into a wellspring of creative sound design. With over 2.3GB of compressed samples, this library features more than 100 unique instruments, each showcasing the guitar's organic tones stretched and manipulated in intriguing new directions. From drum kits crafted with mallets, fingernail scrapes, and even pouring rice over the strings, to long, evolving pads built from blurred and abstracted guitar samples, Fractured provides composers and producers with a wealth of distinctive, left-of-center sonic textures to incorporate into their music and sound design.
