Key Features
Xhun IronAxe is a true-to-life electric guitar instrument, constructed with authentic physical modelling techniques. Often one of the most difficult instruments to capture, the electric guitar has typically been reduced to rudimentary sample-based libraries. With IronAxe, a new approach has been taken to physically model the electrical and acoustic properties of each component, allowing for synthesized sounds with unrivalled dynamics and fluidity. To meet the demands of the modern guitar player, IronAxe offers a wide range of common articulations to play even the most complex of performances smoothly. Palm-muting, legato, glissando, arpeggios and much more can be triggered with a normal MIDI keyboard or MIDI guitar for dynamic performances without compromise.
Crafting your sound has never been easier. Virtually every aspect of your guitar is customisable, from the instrument itself to the signal path. Adjust the pickup type, pickup position, pick density and position, string tension, as well as choosing between a selection of 10 stompboxes and six amplifiers and cabinets. Discover how true-to-life electric guitar can spice up your electronic music productions with heavy distortion, beautiful melodies and ambient chords.

With advanced physical component modelling of the electrical and acoustic parts of an electric guitar, IronAxe delivers a truly authentic sound, unlike any other guitar simulation software. Where others may use a collection of samples to generate a sound with every MIDI note, IronAxe synthesizes the sound using intelligent modelling properties to create a true-to-life sound and feel. This modelling technique allows for much more detailed performances with smoother dynamics and complex performances than what is traditionally capable with sample libraries.
Built with advanced architecture, this complex modelling doesn't have to take up all of your CPU. In fact, IronAxe is lightweight on your CPU, allowing for rapid adjustments, preset loading and customisation to keep you in your creative groove. This CPU-friendly design allows for smooth dynamics across the full velocity range without any 'jumps' in velocity layers between samples.
To accommodate the varied performance aspects of an electric guitar, Xhun IronAxe features a wide range of articulations to glide through any song or setlist. Palm-muting, tapping, harmonics, strumming, glissando and more are all available to you to perform on a standard MIDI keyboard, putting the expression at your fingertips. Ideal for on-stage performers, you can play along to the rest of your band, playing chords or soloing at will without the need for any deep menu diving to access complex articulations.
Often the most difficult instrument to mimic, the complexity of an electric guitar goes beyond simply the notes that are played and at what velocity they are played. The interaction between player, pick, strings, amp and cabinet all make up the sound and feel of an electric guitar. With IronAxe, you get access to each and every parameter that constitutes a traditional electric guitar signal chain.
Two different solid-body electric guitar options are available with customisable pickup patterns including three and two pickup configurations. Choose between single-coil, humbucker or steelplate pickups to set the core tone of your instrument. From here, you can truly create a unique instrument for your productions. You're in control of the pick used for your strumming, adjust the thickness and material of the pickup and at what angle the pick strikes the strings or choose no pick at all for softer, plucked parts.
Much like a real-life electric guitar, each string within IronAxe is different, offering you the chance to customise each string independently, selecting the tension and material of each depending on the style and sound you are playing. When you have customised your guitar to your liking, you can start crafting your tone through the 10 built-in effects, using up to four stompboxes simultaneously to sculpt and shape your sound. In the final part of the chain, you can adjust and customise the amplifier and cabinet used for your sound, this will shape your overall EQ and tonal bias. For producers looking to fit your electric guitar performance into your mix, a global Master compressor and EQ are included to fine-tune the overall sound.
This in-depth control over your entire signal culminates in an alive instrument that responds to the way you play, making it ideal for MIDI piano or MIDI guitar performances that react to the touch of your fingers.
