Panorama Whitekirk Black Friday pricing is $29.50, 50% off, until Dec 6, 2026, on Sonora Cinematic's Kontakt guitar library recorded inside St Mary's church in Whitekirk, Scotland.
The building is almost 900 years old, and the maker built the instrument around its two very different acoustics. It runs in the free Kontakt Player v8.9.
It is a Kontakt instrument of guitars captured in a historic Scottish church. Sonora Cinematic recorded an electric and a semi-hollow guitar in stereo, played through two guitar amps and a large pedalboard loaded with effects.
The maker says it picks up where its bestseller, Panorama Guitars, left off. The target is dreamy post-rock, shoegaze and cinematic guitar sounds.
The tones run from pristine cleans to washed-out fuzz and granular, reverb-soaked textures.
The curved wooden roof gives a room sound the maker describes as warm and tight. Further down the nave, the old stone walls and ceiling produce a much bigger, more organic space.
Microphones were set up along the central nave, and two stereo mixes were built from them. You crossfade between the two with your modwheel while you play.
The interface also shows a plan of the church with a listener position you can drag around. Pull it toward the nave under the wooden ceiling and the sound changes in real time. Move it the other way and the reverb opens up into the stonework of the chancel.
The effects section includes a Plate reverb tuned to suit this library, plus two atmospheric effects. Pink is a reverb whose slow modulation adds a grainy, granular texture, while Blue creates a glittering, densely diffused space with a very long tail. A third option, the pedalboard effects, offers the exact setups recorded on the day, ready to use. The library comes with 35 presets and full NKS integration.
The maker pitches it at film, ambient and experimental work where you want guitar that sits as a space as much as a sound.
Yes. The Panorama Whitekirk Black Friday deal is $29.50, which is 50% off, and it runs until Dec 6, 2026. It is Sonora Cinematic's Kontakt guitar library recorded in a Scottish church.
You get electric and semi-hollow guitar recordings made through two amps and a pedalboard, two crossfadable room mixes, and a custom effects section with Plate, Pink and Blue. It also includes 35 presets and NKS integration.
Yes. It requires the free Kontakt Player v8.9, so a full Kontakt purchase is not needed to load it. It is a Kontakt instrument, and it has full NKS integration.
A plan of the church appears in the interface, and you drag your listener position across it. Toward the nave you hear the warm, tight wooden-roof room. Toward the chancel the stonework gives a bigger reverb. The modwheel crossfades the two stereo mixes.
