Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Native Instruments Session Guitarist - Electric Ruby Deluxe.

Features and functionality

  • The muted articulation sample persists even after the MIDI note ends, which complicates use with distorted amp simulators due to overlapping tails.

    Source
  • It's noted that shortening the MIDI note might reduce the sample's duration, but doesn't fully resolve the mute articulation persistence issue.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • The Electric Mint library reportedly cuts the muted sample when the MIDI note finishes, unlike the Electric Ruby Deluxe.

    Source

User experience

  • Adjusting the stop time to 1/8 note in the plugin doesn't affect individual articulations; it's intended for pattern use only.

Critic Reviews

Session Guitarist Electric Ruby Deluxe from Native Instruments

soundonsound.com

Native Instruments' Electric Ruby Deluxe brings the warmth of a hollowbody electric guitar to your virtual setup with impressive realism. Its pattern-based engine and melody instrument cater to a range of styles, bolstered by a rich articulation set. However, while the advanced pattern browser and new FX chains make it versatile, its reliance on the Kontakt Player might limit those without the latest version. The inclusion of next-gen NKS support is a plus, but the hefty price tag might deter budget-conscious musicians. Overall, it's a robust addition for those deeply embedded in the Native Instruments ecosystem.
