Guitars Are Meant To Tell Stories...
Panorama Guitars is a Kontakt Player virtual instrument born from a love of the guitar textures of post-rock and shoegaze acts, sounds that have inspired a plethora of music for media in the last three decades.
Encapsulating these iconic sounds ready for you to shape using our bespoke Aria engine, this versatile and cinematic modern post-rock guitar instrument is capable of fitting seamlessly into pop, rock, lo-fi hip-hop, and any project that requires pristine clean or crunchy guitar tones.
Panorama Guitars offers a captivating tapestry of evocative and atmospheric guitar textures and soundscapes. From haunting arpeggios and moving melancholy melodies to warm and soulful tones, these instruments add layers of cinematic depth to enrich your compositions and mesmerise your listeners.
Best of all, this virtual instrument knows no bounds; import your own samples and utilise the Aria engine’s extensive controls and effects to create your own vast and distinct palette of sounds.

The Recordings
We meticulously deep-sampled five classic electric guitar models, a beautiful baritone guitar, and a stunning electric bass.
Each instrument was played through a curated selection of guitar amps and pedals and captured with high-end microphones and preamplifiers to ensure the highest fidelity.
We also collaborated with experimental ambient artist Elif Yalvac whose unique approach has infused Panorama Guitars with avant-garde textures and ambient soundscapes, providing you with a diverse palette of sounds to explore.
"If you happen to be looking for a lush, ambient sounding cinematic guitar, that is easily capable of carrying your melodic theme with bags of atmosphere, then Panorama Guitars may well tick all of your boxes." - KK Access
The Aria Engine
At the heart of Panorama Guitars lies our bespoke Aria Engine which is full of modulation possibilities and expressive effects as well as ways to mangle your own samples.
Get started by browsing a diverse array of sounds from ‘Ambient Trem’, ‘Huge Wash’ and ‘Shimmer Pulse’ to ‘Post Rock Fuzz’, ‘Crusty Ambience’, ‘Lo-Fi Junky’ and many more. Pick one for each of the two available slots and create ever evolving textures and soundscapes using the intuitive integrated XY pad.
Go further by layering or crossfading articulations, add two independent filters and assign any parameter to be controlled by either the X or Y axis: the limit is your creativity.
Make It Move...
Despite the sleek and simple interface, the creative options don’t end there! Panorama Guitars offers additional depth with two step sequencers for the filters and per-layer LFOs empowering you to infuse rhythmic movement and modulation into your compositions.
Experiment With FX
Shape your audio further with three effects slots and an impressive FX panel which adjusts according to the effect selected – experiment with different combinations and fine-tune your sounds with ease.
Import Your Own Sounds
Capture your unique artistic expression by recording your own XY motions, store them as presets and adjust their playback speed. What’s more, you can even import your own samples for limitless creativity!
