The Hammer-On technique is usually utilized to bridge notes together... or for killer solos. For this library it is the sole articulation used and played on a stratocaster which has been cleanly recorded and multisampled.
There are no loops here (save for one patch), each patch contains meticulously recorded and mastered multisamples as played on a strat. As this sort of play style is normally not showcased giving this instrument a very unique sound and timbre not found anywhere else. Just check out the two demos below, EVERYTHING heard is from Hammer-On.
Visit the product page for a video walkthrough.
Consisting of 13 patches, Hammer-On can sound soft and sweet, creepy, or up tension in an action scene. If you play in the higher ranges it can even sound ethnic, similar to a dulcimer. The GUI (or "unearthed verbamp 80") has controls for EQ (bass, mid, hi), reverb (a huge hall convolution reverb), and attack. The attack and EQ knobs can drastically alter the sound and vibe of each patch. Hammer-On is NOT your average guitar library.
Yes, it does contain multisampled electric guitar patches, but it is aimed more squarely at cinematic and video game scores than producing authentic rock ballads. Soft, sweet, deadly... those are the words that come to mind here.

Spaceology contains 13 patches for Kontakt 5+ from space... no, really! The patches are all derived from the actual NASA recordings recently released into the public domain (this instrument is in no way endorsed by NASA).
Creepy pads, ethereal tempo synced pulses (one of which is derived from the infamous Sputnik signal), as well as a Mission VOX patch which contains 22 choice bits of dialogue from NASA missions and various radio beeps and static one shots mapped to the lower octaves. All of the samples utilized were meticulously remastered and cleaned for maximum clarity for both sample awesomeness and archival purposes.

The instrument patches are solid for your next sci fi or horror score while the VOX patch is great for remixers and space enthusiasts alike! There is no other kontakt instrument on the planet like Spaceology!
