Key Features
UJAM Virtual Guitarist Carbon is an 8-string guitar library. A storytelling weapon of mass destruction, Carbon is no ordinary guitar library. This 8-string guitar library has been meticulously recorded and processed using proprietary modelling techniques and combined with a vast canvas of sound design options to perfectly fit with contemporary cinematic soundscapes, game audio design and pop production.
Nothing quite sounds like Carbon. Capable of being driven over the edge or tamed back for atmospheric soundscapes, Virtual Guitarist Carbon is every producer's best friend. Featuring Instrument Mode which allows you to perform in your own custom melodies and phrases as well as Player Mode to take advantage of the onboard phrases and riffs, you can get production-ready sounds in no time.
A range of proprietary tonal shaping options including the newly designed Layerer, double-tracking parameters and Finishing FX allows you to inject your compositions with the raw aggression and power of Carbon.

Heard extensively in contemporary cinematic soundscapes, the electric has evolved into a new instrument entirely. Part synth and part guitar combine to deliver modern organic and expressive sounds that lend themselves to futuristic textures. These sounds are now being heard in wider media including games and even chart-topping tracks. Carbon is the sound behind cold dystopian soundscapes, cyberpunk-themed video games and forward-thinking pop artists' repertoire.
Built around the recording of a hyper-modern 8-string guitar, Carbon goes beyond tradition. Modelling the behaviour and running it through proprietary sound engines to bring out the nuances to the forefront. Newly developed for Virtual Guitarist Carbon, UJAM has brought to life futuristic amplifier and distortion sounds to go above and beyond what has ever been offered before.
Maintaining a core sound, Virtual Guitarist Carbon can only be described as raw and organic. No matter how you choose to manipulate your sound, Carbon remains musical and playable throughout, with a sound for every occasion. Pushing the envelope of what's possible with guitar processing, UJAM Carbon offers a myriad of techniques and parameters to alter your sound. Five custom-designed amplifier types offer a different character of gain and distortion, while a tuned focus EQ helps to tighten up your sound. Helping to cut through dense layers of synthesizers and other instruments within your mix, Carbon features four playback modes comprised of single mono tracked, stereo double-tracked, triple tracked and quad tracked guitars. Each mode then coincides with the newly designed layerer feature, allowing you to virtually move guitar amplifiers across a stage to create a wall of sound to power through your production.
Similar to other UJAM releases, Virtual Guitarist Carbon features several Finisher multi-effects, combining 20 cutting-edge effect algorithms into over 100 presets. Using these, you can transform your 8-string guitar into a completely unique and new instrument that's never been heard before.
Used by industry veterans and composing powerhouses such as Hanz Zimmer, Carbon lets you dive into new cinematic soundscapes that wouldn't be possible using alternatives. It's the sound of an exploding volcano, the lonely space station wondering without purpose and the battle cry of futuristic mechanical beings. Diverse enough to traverse everything from immediate and in-your-face when pushed to delicate and spacious when trimmed down, Carbon is the musician's choice for putting pen to paper on modern cinematic soundscapes.
Providing you with the canvas on which to implement your sounds of destruction, Carbon offers two performance modes. Instrument mode lets you play and create your own phrases and melody by performing on your keyboard as normal. Perfect for writing bespoke melodies and riffs to your composition, in Instrument mode, there are no restrictions other than your creativity. The next mode is the Player mode. Here, you can playback the inspiring riffs and phrases embedded into Carbon to trigger melodies and riffs around your track. Perfect for the contemporary producer, these included styles and performances help to get ideas down in no time to supercharge your production workflow.
