Jazz, Blues, Retro Pop, and More

Electric Ruby Deluxe delivers the warm, natural sound of a semi-acoustic guitar with stunning realism. From the gentle whisper of jazz to the bright R&B solos, every note sounds voluminous and expressive. It doesn’t matter what you play – velvety chords, soulful strumming, or emotional passages: the rhythm will drive you, and the melody will sing (grooves that swing and melodies that sing).

Stunning Realism

Thanks to careful sampling that conveys every nuance of the semi-hollow body and vintage pickups, Electric Ruby Deluxe gives you a clean and warm sound that is so rare among virtual instruments. Slides, mutes, harmonics, and other techniques allow you to achieve a guitar sound so natural, as if it were played live.

Two instruments in one

Switch between two instruments: a pattern engine with hundreds of grooves in different styles and a melodic instrument for detailed parts. Combine them to create full arrangements or switch between accompaniment and solo – perfect for easy songwriting, beatmaking and music production.

Create your perfect setup

Whether you want a clear, clean tone or a hard drive, 47 ready-made presets will help you find your perfect sound in no time. Customize your setup using two direct signals and a mic input, routing them through pedals, virtual amps and cabinets – like the new Reverb Delight, inspired by the sound of the mid-60s. Add the finishing touches with studio effects: compressors, EQ, reverb, modulation and delay.

Play on Kontrol keyboards

The Session Guitarist series provides full integration with Kontrol and NKS keyboards. Take advantage of the intelligent Light Guide – it visualizes key ranges, articulations and playing techniques (slides, mutes, etc.), allowing you to easily switch between styles and techniques while playing.
