PowerChord

PowerChord by Rob Papen is a guitar groove instrument that lets you build your own power chord riffs instead of relying on sampled loops. It combines a groove sequencer with 53 guitar models, including drop tunings, grunge and distorted power chords, plus single-note PowerNote sounds. You can play strokes, long strokes and ghost strokes manually, or trigger four sequencer patterns across the keyboard. Each sequence offers up to 32 steps with controls for velocity, ratcheting, swing and more. Shape your tone with analog-modeled filters, ring modulation, pre-filter distortions, a mod matrix, EQ and three serial effect blocks. It suits producers in rock, metal and electronic genres who want realistic guitar grooves without a guitarist, and it works in FL Studio, Ableton and Logic on Windows.
