If you’d like to check out that review, you’ll find it here. I actually wrote a review on one of their other guitar libraries (Shreddage 2) in our September 2014 issue. Here are just some of the many powerful features you’ll find in Stratus: Poly Input, TACT 2.0 articulation mapping, hammer-ons and pull-offs, portamento slides, powerchord mutes, 30+ cabinets, custom IRs and much more. It is a brand new take on the sampled electric guitar, with 24-bit samples from the three separate pickups of the Fender Stratocaster. For this issue, I wanted to explore their latest offering: Shreddage 3 Stratus. Some of the reviews in our past issues include Groove Bias, Momentum, Super Audio Cart and Celestia. We’ve reviewed a fair number of their products over the years. Impact Soundworks are the developers behind several sound libraries which encompass orchestral, guitar, bass, drums, ethnic and many other types. From clean tones to full-on shredding, it has what it takes.
