Choose between LP, BP & HP filters and add modulation.
All you need to create a great skank. Shape, modulate and spacialize.
Special keys to switch between Major and Minor chords and to 'play' send FXs
Set up your guitar tone : from dark & soft to bright & punchy.
Add character with a Cab. There are 8 different Cabs from Kontakt, and the option to load your own IR samples.
When you press a key, you strum the guitar down. When you release the key, you strum the guitar up.
The Kontakt 6 version of The Skank takes advantage of the newly integrated NI FXs.
Please note that Kontakt 5 FX will be slightly different. You can compare them here :
Shape the dynamics of your skank. Use it if you need more bite. I added a transient Attack parameter to make it even sharper.
Chorus & Phaser. Widen your guitar or make it move. I put an option to 'send' the phaser to the delays and reverbs.
Enjoy Kontakt's SSL EQ effect. You know what that's for...
(These are Kontakt 6 newly added FX’s. Kontakt 5 uses legacy effects.)
Use a classic old-school Tape dealy effect. Its efficiency has been proven over the years.
If you need to delay things a bit more, you can choose between several dealy types.
Space things up with these reverbs : you have Room, Hall, Plate & Convolution reverbs, just pick one !

Tired of spending hours looking for the right reggae guitar loop which will match your song ? Me too. Few years ago I started making Reggae & Dub Music and I was disappointed to see there was no vst to get that particular skank sound…
So I decided to create it.
I sampled an ESP guitar with split-pickups to get homogeneous samples.
And here it is : A kontakt library for all reggae & dub producers !
You can go from old-school Reggae & Ska Music to the Sound of Modern Dub & Electro. It works great with HipHop & Trap too.
