Bring Heavy Metal back to your Music

Three-Body Technology proudly presents Heavier7Strings 1.5.1, a real-time playable sample-based virtual instrument that brings back Heavy Metal to your productions. Equipped with a complete effect rack and a pattern library, this metal-style guitar library has everything you need!

The love for music, and a desire to create innovative studio technology was the mainspring that made Heavier7Strings possible. With total of 4 years in the making, using only top quality equipment, more than 10.000 samples were painstakingly recorded in 24-bit and 48 kHz. To top it all off Heavier7Strings comes with a self-developed sampler with no compromise on sound quality.

The Effect Rack

What is the first thing to do when one starts a virtual guitar? Usually it is to bypass all built-in effects, as they are mostly too primitive for any serious work. However, the effect rack provided in Heavier7Strings is complete and of production-level quality, not just a toy!

Effects Overview:

• 31 Heavy Metal Effect Modules: Screamer, EQ12, AMP, Flanger, Wah, Ping-Pong delay, etc.
• 16 AMPs with styles from heavy metal to clean sound, processing sample rate up to 8X
• 66 cabinet IRs, four can be mixed simultaneously with different delay, volume and phasing
• Preset manager allows you to store your own effect presets, along with 200 factory presets
• The effect rack can be used alone which is called "HeavierFX"

MIDI Pattern Library

Heavier7Strings contains a number of 300 predefined MIDI patterns, together with effect rack configuration. The style of these patterns ranged from metal, rock, pop, clean, and along with non-rhythmic noise and ambient sounds. All these patterns can be dragged into host DAWs, and users can define their own patterns by MIDI clip.

Patterns Overview:

• 300 factory MIDI patterns together with effect rack presets
• Various styles: metal, rock, pop, clean, along with non-rhythmic noise and ambient sounds.
• Draggable into host DAWs
• Users can define their own patterns by dragging MIDI into

Samples and Sampler

The sampler used in Heavier7Strings is self-developed, no third-party samplers were used.

It has following characteristics:

• Direct read from disk
• Shared sample buffer between instances to reduce memory consumption
• Automatic fade out on disk-read overtime to avoid clicks & pops.

Built-in DSP Engine

• A built-in DSP engine named THRASH (Tonal/Harmonic Reconstruction and Shaping) is included in Heavier7Strings to provide various tone adjusting functions:

• +∞RR: in addition to 16x recorded RR at maximum, random timbre and envelope changes are applied on samples to provide more vivid RR playing;

• True doubling: two guitars playing simultaneously on left and right channel, each has individual random note delay and RR selection.

• Sample-based LFO: modulate sample pitch with pitch curves extracted from real-world vibrato playing. This technique is adjustable in both degree and frequency, and is more realistic than just modulate the pitch by sine/ triangle wave.

• Dynamically recoups the formant during pitch-bend.

• Digitally emulated tone knob and pickup switch;

• Adjustable tension and resonance.

Performance

• Infinite sustain
• Hammer-on & pull-off
• Legato slide in/out
• Pinch harmonics
• Tremolo
• Gliss
• Palm-mute
• Picking-noise
• Polyphonic legato
• 24 “inspiration keys” to directly trigger specially played sounds/complex performances
• String and fret board position
• Up/down picking
• Strumming: deduce complete chord from part of composing notes
• Trigger power chords from root note

Version 1.5.1 Features:

• New "smooth" parameters have been added to Cabinet, which is rare in most convolution effects. It can flatten comb-like detailed structures in cabinet convolution kernels, and also smooth phase between different frequencies.
• Cabinets also integrated simulation of room reverb. Designed to add some air feeling to an IR.
• 11 brand new effects. Including: MetalBall, Perry 65535+, SOLO 1000 and DualRectangle through new techniques of guitar AMP modeling. Intended for heavy metal and rock. Combined with two distortion modules added in version 1.2.
• WahX is a new wah-effect modeled seven classical wah-wah pedal devices. The pedal can be controlled manually, or by LFO and envelope tracker.
• Added more than 40 new patterns based on new effects.
• Improved fret position detection.
• Lower CPU usage using updated self-developed sampler
