Description

HALOWIRE

From expressive guitar parts to evolving cinematic textures

Build a palm-muted groove, write a shimmering electric guitar part, or stretch a single pluck into an evolving soundscape. HALOWIRE combines a playable guitar sampler, 795 editable MIDI performances, 105 chord progressions, and a six-slot pedalboard in one instrument.

Play and shape your guitar tone

Choose from 44 guitar and plucked-instrument setups, or import your own single-note recordings. Shape the attack, body, brightness, release, pick character, and pitch movement of each strike. Mix sustained notes, palm mutes, and dead-note accents within the same part, and see the strings and positions on the visual fretboard.

Make the performance your own

Browse performances across alternative rock, R&B, hip-hop, trap, pop, acoustic, and ambient, or use the MIDI Generator to create a new part. Adapt performances to your key and chords while preserving their rhythm and melodic contour.

Draw and edit notes, fine-tune individual velocities and articulations, or record directly from a MIDI controller. Record and edit Whammy, Vibrato, and Bend curves to shape the expression of a phrase. Drag performance or chord MIDI straight into your DAW.

Build your own six-pedal chain

Arrange 31 effect and utility models in any order across six slots. Dial in a guitar tone with amp and cabinet processing, drive, chorus, delay, and reverb, then explore Pitch Cloud, Reverse, Sustain Freeze, Tape Decay, Resonator, and Spectral Bloom.

Assign modulators to supported sampler, EQ, and effects controls to add subtle motion or keep a texture evolving over time.

Start with 400 complete instruments

Explore 200 Natural Guitar presets for familiar tones and 200 Moonwave Creative presets for cinematic textures. Mix and match guitars, performances, chords, and effects from their dedicated browsers. Lock sections while randomizing the rest, undo changes as you go, and save your own complete instruments or portable expansions with the custom samples they use.
