Feature update for the guitar amplifier, cabinet and mic simulator

HoRNet GuitarKit 1.3.0 â The Ultimate Guitar Amplifier, Cabinet, and Mic Simulator
We are excited to announce the release of HoRNet GuitarKit version 1.3.0, a revolutionary update to our powerful guitar amplifier simulator, which now includes enhanced cabinet and microphone simulation. GuitarKit is designed to offer guitarists, sound engineers, and producers a flexible, high-quality solution for achieving a broad range of authentic guitar tones without the need for physical gear.
Unlike many other guitar amplifier simulators that rely on convolutional impulse responses (IRs) to model specific amps and cabinets, HoRNet GuitarKit takes a physical modeling approach for all three core components: the amplifier, the cabinet, and the microphone. This means that instead of being limited to static representations of real-world gear, GuitarKit offers dynamic, customizable simulations that can be tweaked to suit your exact tonal preferences. With GuitarKit, you can create unique soundscapes and explore a broad palette of guitar tones, from classic crunch to modern high-gain power.
Many amplifier simulators use impulse responses to simulate the characteristics of famous amps and cabinets. While this method provides accurate replicas of existing units, it comes with limitations. Once the impulse response is loaded, you cannot change the sound of the model. The ârigâ is fixed, and any tonal adjustments are restricted. HoRNet GuitarKit, on the other hand, removes these constraints by enabling full control over the key parameters of each model, offering true flexibility and customization.
The core of HoRNet GuitarKit lies in its real-time processing engine, which uses physical models to simulate every aspect of the sound. You are no longer restricted by pre-recorded samples but can adjust and tailor every element of the sound to match your desired tone. Whether youâre looking to emulate the sound of a vintage tube amplifier or create something entirely new and unique, GuitarKit gives you the tools to craft your ideal guitar sound.
Each of the three core modules in GuitarKitâamplifier, cabinet, and microphoneâare designed with physical models. This means that you can choose specific tubes for the amplifier, allowing you to dial in different characteristics of tube saturation, overdrive, and warmth. Similarly, you can select from different cabinet types and speaker configurations to further shape your sound. For even more flexibility, GuitarKit lets you choose the type of microphone and adjust its placement relative to the cabinet, just as you would in a recording studio. This empowers you to replicate the sound of classic guitar recordings or create entirely new, personal tones.
Another significant advantage of the physical modeling approach is that each of these modules can be turned on or off independently. This feature allows you to experiment with various configurations and combinations, even using the cabinet or microphone simulation with other non-guitar sources. For example, you could apply the cabinet or mic simulation to a keyboard, bass, or any other instrument, expanding your creative possibilities beyond guitar tones.
HoRNet GuitarKit is designed to be efficient enough for live performances while delivering high-quality sound. Thanks to its real-time processing capabilities, GuitarKit operates with no latency, which is crucial for any performance setting. Whether you’re on stage or recording in the studio, you can rely on GuitarKit to deliver responsive and dynamic guitar tones with real-time control over every parameter.
Even when the plugin is set to âhigh-qualityâ mode, which enables 8x oversampling for the best possible audio fidelity, the CPU usage remains low, ensuring that your system performs smoothly, even in demanding environments. This makes GuitarKit ideal for both studio recording and live performance, providing musicians and producers with an efficient and high-quality tool for creating and shaping guitar tones.
Despite its powerful features, HoRNet GuitarKit is designed with ease of use in mind. The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, with all controls clearly laid out for quick access. Whether you are tweaking the amp, selecting the cabinet, or adjusting the mic placement, youâll find that GuitarKitâs interface is intuitive, making it easy to navigate through the different options without getting lost in complex settings.
HoRNet GuitarKit comes with 12 carefully crafted presets that showcase the plugin’s versatility. These presets are designed to give you an immediate starting point, from classic rock tones to modern high-gain sounds. You can modify these presets to your liking or use them as inspiration for your next track. The range of included presets covers a wide spectrum of styles, helping you get started quickly, whether youâre a guitarist working on a demo or a producer crafting a polished track.
With version 1.3.0, weâve added full support for macOS M1 (Apple Silicon), ensuring that GuitarKit runs smoothly on the latest Apple hardware. Additionally, weâve raised the minimum required macOS version to 10.13, which means users will need to be on a more recent version of macOS to take full advantage of this update.
This update is free for all existing GuitarKit users, so you can easily take advantage of these new improvements and enjoy the benefits of the latest version.
Whether youâre a live performer or a studio producer, HoRNet GuitarKit is the perfect tool for creating custom guitar tones. The ability to adjust the amp, cabinet, and mic simulations in real-time gives you complete control over your sound, enabling you to dial in the exact tone you need for any performance or recording session. Whether youâre playing live or in the studio, GuitarKitâs low-latency performance ensures that you can focus on your music without worrying about technical issues.
HoRNet GuitarKit is a comprehensive and versatile guitar amplifier, cabinet, and mic simulator that offers a truly flexible solution for musicians and producers. By utilizing physical modeling instead of static impulse responses, GuitarKit gives you full control over every aspect of your sound, from the ampâs tubes to the mic placement. This, combined with a streamlined and intuitive interface, makes GuitarKit an invaluable tool for creating high-quality, customizable guitar tones.
With version 1.3.0, GuitarKit continues to evolve, offering enhanced compatibility with macOS M1 systems and bringing even more reliability to users. Whether you’re working on a recording or performing live, GuitarKit provides the tools you need to create professional-grade guitar sounds with minimal hassle and maximum flexibility.
