Description

Unleash the power of metal with the Ample Sound Ample Metal Eclipse, a virtual instrument that faithfully captures the essence of the ESP Eclipse I guitar. Designed for the modern metalhead, this plugin delivers aggressive tones and precise articulations that will elevate your riffs and leads to new heights. The 4.6 GB bridge pickup sample library ensures that every note resonates with authenticity and depth.

With its built-in amp simulation, featuring six classic amp models and seven cabinet types, you can dial in studio-quality metal tones directly within your DAW. The Eclipse doesn't just stop at sound; it offers innovative tools like Riffer 4, which is a MIDI editor specifically tailored for string instruments, and Strummer, a sophisticated strumming engine that provides intuitive control over chord and rhythm creation.

The dual view modes, featuring Piano Roll and Guitar Tab, allow for seamless editing and composing, while the string visualization system gives you realistic MIDI performances by preventing polyphony on the same string and intelligently managing fingering. Whether you're importing MIDI files or crafting your own, the Ample Metal Eclipse ensures a workflow that is both efficient and inspiring, thanks to its extensive riff library and comprehensive technique editing.

AmpleSound Ample Metal Eclipse review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Ample Sound's Ample Metal Eclipse is a metalhead's dream, delivering an astonishingly realistic emulation of the ESP Eclipse I guitar. With eight articulations captured for every fret and a metal-oriented riff library, it's a powerhouse for metal music production. Despite its superb sound and expressiveness, it stumbles with poor documentation and occasional crashes in standalone mode. Yet, for its price and sonic prowess, it's a worthy addition to any metal music maker's toolkit, provided you can overlook these minor glitches.
