EXs256 Pure Guitar Magic

EXs256 Kelfar Pure Guitar Magic – The Ultimate Electric Guitar Experience for KORG NAUTILUS/KRONOS
This exclusive collection of electric guitars is drawn from Karim El-Far’s personal selection of instruments at Kelfar Technologies. It has been meticulously sampled in Kelfar Technologies’ private studio using top-tier audio interfaces and equipment, ensuring unmatched fidelity and realism.

Released alongside the Return of the King (flagship) KRONOS3, EXs256 is a special edition—optimized for all NAUTILUS models and KRONOS (AT)—and requires only 9MB of Virtual Memory, delivering expressive power with exceptional efficiency. If memory is limited, this is a must-have, freeing up valuable space and allowing you to load even more of your favorite libraries.

The library features 46 Programs and 16 Combinations, offering a versatile collection of Clean, Jazz, Distortion, Ambience, and many more expressive electric guitar tones.

Inspired by its bigger brother, EXs172 & EXs173 Kelfar Kithara, the EXs256 Kelfar Pure Guitar Magic library redefines electric guitar sampling with unparalleled realism and dynamic expressiveness. Created in collaboration with Dan Stesco, a world-renowned programmer and musician, this collection captures the essence of vintage electric guitars, offering an authentic and highly playable experience.

Every note, articulation, and effect has been meticulously crafted using period-accurate amps, microphones, and distortion pedals, ensuring each sound stays true to the original instrument. Whether you are looking for crisp cleans, smooth jazz tones, or aggressive distortion, EXs256 Kelfar Pure Guitar Magic delivers a powerful and expressive guitar experience—all through your KORG NAUTILUS or KRONOS3, KRONOS2, and KRONOS1/X keyboards.

Utilizing an innovative Decca Tree-inspired micing technique developed by Sam Skaf, employing 3 condenser capsules with different sizes and gradient responses, we've captured every nuance of the instrument. This technique accentuates differences between left and right stereo fields and balances the sound energy across low and high octaves, resulting in a four-dimensional perception of the stereo signal. The same mastering process used for the previously released EXs252 Kelfar Omega Kanun has been utilized on the Kelfar Omega Buzuq, ensuring the highest quality sound reproduction.
