Overview

Rock instruments, turned sinister.

Ghostwriter is a sampled instrument library for horror and suspense, produced by Steven Wilson and Doug Rogers and recorded at EastWest Studios. Its guitars, basses and drums lean hard on distortion, re-amping and effect chains, while the keys and voices lend themselves to ambient beds and slowly shifting pads. Over 800 instruments and presets load in the included Opus player, whose Mixer Effects and MIDI Tools take the mangling further. It is built for composers in film, television and games, and for songwriters after darker colours.

Highlights

576 guitars, with EBow, Dirty and LoFi groups among them
120 distorted basses and 65 re-amplified, heavily compressed drums
59 keyboards and 23 vocals that stretch into ambient beds

Played by Steven Wilson, Marco Minnemann and Laurence Juber
