Fully loaded with two octaves of samples for heavy rhythm parts and a ton of phrases for intricate, melodic riffage, the Chocolate Audio Uproar Bundle 8-string baritone guitar library for Native Instruments Kontakt gives producers, songwriters, and composers the special sonic firepower they need to create epic tracks across multiple genres such as metal, film, game scores, and orchestral music. This bundle includes the Uproar Vol. 1 and 2 guitar loop libraries and the Uproar Raw guitar virtual instrument library, yielding over 8GB of content with 14,709 samples and 3178 phrases.
Extensively and professionally sampled from a custom ESP 8-string baritone guitar played by Gianluca Ferro, Chocolate Audio Uproar Vol. 1 is a guitar loop library designed for use in the Mac-/Windows-compatible Native Instruments Kontakt engine. With 1306 phrases, this 1.65GB library features an array of content that's ideal for creating interesting and precise riffs in your digital audio workstation.
Uproar Vol. 1 provides six collections ranging from 60 to 157 BPM, each collection containing four parts with up to five tonal centers per part. To ensure flexible processing, the guitar was played through boutique amps and a clean DI split, all recorded at 24-bit / 88.2 kHz, before being edited and downsampled to 24-bit / 44.1 kHz for more efficient usage of system resources. Run DI versions through your favorite amp simulator, or reamp them to achieve a tone that's all yours.
This same logic also applies to switching tonal centers (harmonic contexts), allowing you to create custom harmonic progressions and/or riffs starting from the same phrases, thus achieving almost endless creative possibilities for each release in the Choco-Matic Series.A v2.0 exclusive of the engine is the ability to anticipate or delay each single part by the desired amount in musical time.

Extensively and professionally sampled from a custom ESP 8-string baritone guitar played by Gianluca Ferro, Chocolate Audio Uproar Raw is a virtual instrument library designed for use in the Mac-/Windows-compatible Native Instruments Kontakt engine. With 14,709 samples, this 3.85GB library features loads of content that's ideal for creating big, powerful, and heavy rhythm tracks in your digital audio workstation.
To ensure tonal flexibility, the guitar was played through two boutique high-gain amp paths in parallel and a clean DI split, all recorded at 24-bit / 88.2 kHz, before being edited and down-sampled to 44.1 kHz for more efficient usage of system resources. Thanks to the onboard mixer, Uproar Raw lets you adjust the balance of the channels and apply effects such as emulated double-tracking, subtle detune, and the Haas Effect for immense width. With so many presets immediately available, you can spend more time playing and less time fiddling with parameters.
Additionally, you can activate either of two independent parts to emulate double-tracking. To augment this effect, you can delay each single part separately (in tens of milliseconds from 0 to 40 ms), detune (±10 cents), or apply the infamous Haas Effect often used in some production styles.
The Haas Effect is obtained by hard panning a track to the left and copying it to the right, but delaying it usually within 10 to 40 milliseconds to obtain a wide sound from a single track. Once Haas is activated, you can also reverse the stereo image for one or more channels at the same time.
- Sustain: single note sustaining sound
- Sustain [POW]: Power chord sustaining sound (root - 5th - octave)
- Sustain [POW5th]: Power chord sustaining sound (root - 4th - octave)
- Sustain [POW4th]: Power chord sustaining sound (4th below - root - 5th above)
- Ghost (All Versions): The untuned sound produced when picking with the right hand open and the left hand laying lightly above a fret

- Harmonic Pinch: The tricky technique to trigger wild harmonics roughly mixed with the root note
- Palm Mute Standard (P.M. Std - All Versions): Sound produced with the palm of the right hand lightly resting next to the bridge of the guitar
- Palm Mute Dead (P.M. Dead - All Versions): Sound produced with the palm of the right hand firmly resting next to the bridge of the guitar
- Slide Noises: Sound produced when moving left hand fingers lightly resting on the strings and along the neck, thus producing an untuned sound
- String Slides: Sound produced when sliding the left hand firmly resting on the neck thus producing a tuned sound rapidly changing pitch or similar effects
- X-Ghost: Sound produced by strumming quickly on the top strings while they are muted with the fretting hand
