  • Built-in Amp simulators and Effects 

    Whether you’re shaping a focused, genre-specific tone or experimenting with new sonic landscapes, SC Electric Guitar 2 gives you the flexibility to use its built-in tools—or bypass them entirely and use your favorite amp simulators.
     



     

    The order of effetcs can be changed easily with drag and drop.




     

    A wide array of amp and effect modules is included, allowing you to shape your tone freely and intuitively. With over 250 inspiring signal chain presets, you can instantly achieve a mix-ready guitar sound the moment a preset is loaded.



  • Fretboard Monitor 

    The SPI engine automatically selects the optimal string and fret position based on your performance. You can also manually switch strings using key switches. The Fretboard Monitor provides real-time visual feedback of the current fret position and playing technique.



  • Authentic Reproduction of All Five Pickup Positions 

    We modified a Stratocaster® to record direct signals from the neck, middle, and bridge pickups simultaneously via separate output jacks. Each pickup was meticulously captured, allowing SC Electric Guitar 2 to faithfully reproduce all five classic pickup configurations:
    – Neck position
    – Neck–middle position
    – Middle position
    – Bridge–middle position
    – Bridge position
     
    SC Electric Guitar 2 even captures the subtle switching noise of the pickup selector, delivering an exceptionally realistic playing experience.

  • Real sampled chords 

    SC Electric Guitar 2 features an extensive collection of real chord samples—including 2-string dyads, octaves, major, minor, 7th, m7, maj7, add9, sus4, 9th, ♯9th, m9, maj9, dim7, aug, open and low-position chords—making your guitar tracks sound remarkably authentic. These pre-recorded (or “pre-played”) chord samples are instantly accessible, covering a wide range of voicings and musical styles. Prominy’s guitar libraries are the only ones to offer such a comprehensive selection of real chord recordings.

  • Real-sounding emulated chords 

    In addition to the large set of real chord samples, SC Electric Guitar 2 provides an even wider range of chord types and voicing variations through emulated chords. Our proprietary recording and scripting techniques ensure that these emulated chords deliver a sound remarkably close to the real thing.

  • User Chord 

    The User Chord Editor lets you create custom chord shapes with full control over each string. You can define how each string behaves—whether it sustains, mutes, produces picking noise, always plays open regardless of fret position, strums or not, and more.



  • Realtime Legato Slide / Realtime Hammer-on & Pull-off 

    SC2’s Real-Time Legato Slide uses actual legato samples to deliver the expressive nuance of a human finger sliding across the strings—something pitch-based emulation simply cannot replicate. Hammer-on and pull-off samples are also real, recorded performances. Realtime legato slide and hammer-on/pull-off articulation are available for all instruments—including chord instruments—except FX instruments.

  • Cricket 

    “Cricket” is a guitar technique often used by metal and rock guitarists during solos. By striking the whammy bar, the tremolo unit vibrates rapidly, producing a distinctive “crying” sound reminiscent of a cricket.

  • Feedback 

    In real-world guitar playing, feedback occurs when a heavily distorted tone is played near the amplifier. SC2 faithfully reproduces this feedback sound, with adjustable pitch and fade time.

  • Customizable Strum Key 

    In addition to the User Chord Editor, you can customize how each string responds when triggered by the Strum Keys or the Normal Key.



  • Arpeggio Key 

    Each string has a dedicated Arpeggio Key. When a chord instrument is selected, the notes of the chord are automatically assigned to the corresponding Arpeggio Keys, allowing you to perform arpeggios intuitively.
     
    This is not a traditional “arpeggiator.” It simply lets you play individual notes (strings) from a chord manually.

  • Auto Stroke Detection 

    With SPI’s Auto Stroke Detection, the system automatically analyzes the current beat position and determines the appropriate stroke direction—down or up. Multiple detection modes are available, and manual control is also supported.

  • Double-Tracking 

    Double-tracking is a widely used technique in guitar recording that creates a rich, wide stereo image and adds thickness to the sound. With V-METAL 2 SPI, you can easily achieve this effect by loading the Double Track multi. No identical samples are played simultaneously in both channels, ensuring a natural and spacious result.

  • Intelligent Instrument Key Switch with chord recognition 

    You can instantly select an instrument articulation using the Instrument Select Key Switches. All articulations can be freely assigned to any key, allowing you to create your own custom key switch mapping.
    These switches feature chord recognition, enabling you to select a chord instrument not only by pressing the assigned key, but also by playing the chord notes within the key switch range.
    In other words, there’s no need to memorize specific key switches—just hold the chord notes in the designated range, and you’re ready to play.

  • Low note samples included 

    SC Electric Guitar 2 includes the lower note samples (low C – low D#) and is suitable for a wide range of musical genres.

  • Direct signals from the guitar 

    Shape your tone to match any musical style by using the built-in amp simulator or your favorite external amp simulation tools.

  • NKS (Native Kontrol Standard®) ready 


     
    SC2 officially supports NKS (Native Kontrol Standard®) that allows for intuitive and seamless interaction between Hummingbird and KOMPLETE KONTROL and MASCHINE hardware. You can control major parameters via KOMPLETE KONTROL S series keyboard / Maschine hardware and software. KOMPLETE KONTROL S series keyboard’s Light Guide shows available key switches, playable key ranges of each articulation.
