The Panorama Guitars Black Friday deal puts Sonora Cinematic's post-rock and shoegaze guitar instrument for Kontakt Player at $52, 29% off, until Dec 6, 2026.
It is a virtual instrument built around the guitar textures of post-rock and shoegaze records. Sonora Cinematic runs it on their own Aria engine, and the maker says it fits pop, rock and lo-fi hip-hop as well as any project that needs a clean or crunchy guitar tone.
The recordings cover five classic electric guitar models, a baritone guitar and an electric bass, all deep-sampled. Experimental ambient artist Elif Yalvac collaborated on the session, which is where the avant-garde textures and ambient soundscapes come from.
You load one sound into each of two slots, then blend them with the integrated XY pad. Preset sound names include Ambient Trem, Huge Wash, Shimmer Pulse, Post Rock Fuss, Crusty Ambience and Lo-Fi Junky.
Articulations can be layered or crossfaded. Two independent filters sit in the chain, and any parameter can be assigned to the X or Y axis.
For rhythmic movement there are two step sequencers for the filters and an LFO on every layer. Three effect slots finish the chain, and the FX panel changes to match whichever effect you pick.
You can record your own XY pad movements, store them as presets and change their playback speed. Your own samples can be imported and run through the same engine.
Sonora Cinematic's Panorama Hybrid is a darker follow-up on the same engine. It centres on a T-style semi-hollow guitar with soapbar pickups, plus electric basses and synth layers. It has 16 sound sources and 41 presets across six categories.
The maker's terms say Hybrid was free with any Sonora Cinematic NKS purchase until 31st January 2025. The Sonora Cinematic NKS product has to be activated in Native Access first for the Hybrid serial to work.
