Imagine a guitar plugin that captures the cinematic feel of Zimmer’s scores while playing as effortlessly as your favourite session player. That’s CINEDREAM — the latest game-changing upgrade from UJAM. 

Founded in the early 2000s by legendary musicians Hans Zimmer and Pharrell Williams, UJAM quickly became known for its innovative, easy-to-use virtual instruments and effects. With a focus on helping creators work faster and smarter, UJAM has just dropped CINEDREAM, the latest upgrade to its popular Virtual Guitarist series.

Inspired by the legendary soundscapes of Hans Zimmer — Oscar Award-winning composer and UJAM co-founder — CINEDREAM is the unique combination of the realism of UJAM’s Virtual Guitarist series with the cinematic edge of the Symphonic Elements collection. It’s the perfect tool for creating guitar-driven textures in film and game soundtracks or adding cinematic depth to pop, rock, electronic, and ambient tracks.

“Cinedream is a true Virtual Guitarist but also incorporates elements of our best-selling Symphonic Elements series. Many users have asked for that, and that’s what always drives us,” shared Peter Gorges, co-founder of UJAM and co-sound-designer of CINEDREAM.

CINEDREAM from UJAM offers a versatile and expressive guitar model that’s voiced to deliver a wide range of articulations, from subtle phrases to bold, cinematic textures. With six amp setups spanning from clean and shimmering to saturated and intense, you can easily shape your sound to fit any vibe. 

Its real-time performance controls let you fine-tune transients, dynamics, timing and articulations, while the dual multi-effect engines let you explore evolving textures through modulation, sequencing, granular and ambient effects. The style-based phrase engine provides instant access to authentic guitar performances from simple pulses to complex, atmospheric phrases and even faux-random improvisations. Plus, with 200 factory presets, you’ve got a library of rhythms, pads, textures, sequences, and guitar sounds that inspire and add richness to your music.
