Opacity 2 is focused on delivering professional six-string performances that can be mixed and matched to build custom guitar textures. Rather than presenting static samples, the library offers expressive performances and evocative tones designed specifically for cinematic scoring and sound design applications. Each element has been carefully crafted to blend seamlessly into film, television, and game soundtracks, where the guitar needs to convey emotion without overpowering the mix.
The transition to Soundbox represents more than a simple platform shift. This new edition adds enhanced depth and usability, still maintaining the sonic character that made the original Kontakt version a standout among scoring guitarists. For composers already working within the Soundbox ecosystem, Opacity 2 integrates directly into existing projects without requiring additional software or complicated routing.
The mix-and-match approach allows composers to construct custom guitar parts by combining different performance styles and tonal qualities. This modular design suits modern scoring techniques where flexibility matters as much as sound quality, particularly when deadlines are tight and directors want options.
Opacity 2 positions itself as both a performance instrument and a mood-setting tool, offering scoring professionals a guitar toolkit for storytelling, without the need for extensive programming or manipulation. The library aims to provide ready-to-use sounds that still offer enough control for personalisation.
Opacity 2 is available now from Audiomodern with an introductory offer running for a limited time. The instrument joins the original Opacity in the series, expanding the options available for composers seeking expressive, cinema-ready guitar sounds that integrate smoothly into their production environment.
