Play the Emotion of the Guitar Strings with
FRETS.
Micron FRETS brings clean, expressive electric guitars into the Micron XY Playable engine. Every note is sampled diatonically across every string, giving you authentic responsiveness and depth. Choose which string fret group to perform on, just like a guitarist — for unique tonal variations and realism or let the engine choose the best position for your phrases.
From soft finger-picked notes to slanted, scratchy plectrum attacks — each articulation is carefully captured to convey warmth, intimacy, and emotion. Legato and round robin options give life and human feel to your playing, whether you're scoring a scene or composing worshipful ambient music.
Ever-changing Sounds
Unleash the power of our innovative 4-layer instrument, complete with an intuitive XY pad, and craft evolving soundscapes that will transport your listeners. With a vast collection of meticulously designed sound sources, the possibilities are endless. Create infinite unique patches using the randomisation feature.
Beyond the Guitar
In addition to clean tones, FRETS includes:
- Shimmer & Pads – processed guitars turned into soft, glowing textures
- Guitar Synths – sampled sounds from iconic vintage units like the Roland GR-300, VG-8 and others, offering classic post-rock and cinematic vibes
- Ebow sustained sounds, with ornaments for evolving performances.
- and more...
Built in Arpeggiator
The built-in arpeggiator lets you create rhythmic, plucky patterns ideal for modern cinematic and inspirational styles — tight, muted phrases that pulse with subtle energy.
Multi-sampled Electric Guitars
MICRON FRETS includes samples of several electric guitar, each with distinct articulations and techniques which suit best the sound. You will find Solid Bodies played with the pick, Hollow Bodies played with fingers, several Pick Ups options.*
*The guitars have been sampled with the pick up position sound, amplifier sound and effects (Compressor or Eq) baked in. Each guitar will have a specific technique (Fingers, Pick, Slanted Pick, Muted pick), and several velocity layers, from soft ghost notes to sustains (except for the short staccato sound source). All guitars will respond to legato when the fret position allows it, and some will include slides or hammer on/pull off samples as special articulations.
Fretboard visualisation.
We sampled all strings diatonically. And for each electric guitar sound source you can set the Fret Position for each phrase, or let the engine decide it for you.
