This Sample CD, GUITAR TEXTURES is a beautifully crafted series of
guitar movements. Synthesised from a real electric guitar, including
ebow, the sounds on this sample CD are a beguiling mixture of the
seductive and the experimental, calling to mind the work of artists
such as Harold Budd, Robert Fripp and the Cocteau Twins.

Michael Weeks, 05/20/2003
While some people benefit from being guitar players, some of us are
cursed to a spectator position - unable to play a stringed instrument,
or just cursed with no ability to get that particular sound. Homegrown
sounds has made my dream come true with Guitar textures - a
multi-format extravaganza of guitar oneshots and instrument sounds to
evitalize any ailing tune - and it is aimed perfectly at recreating the
dreamscape sounds of Cocteau Twins style guitar work. Heres the specs:
200 individual patches Compatible with Steinberg's Halion, Emagic's
EXS24/EXSP24, Native Instruments Kontakt, and Reason's NN-XT sampler.
It is also available as a soundfont, with more presets than can be
imagined. Of the 200 patches, 31 are labeled as Instrument and the rest
are one-shots. The one shots vary between strummed melody lines, to
arpeggiated delay effects, all with alot of depth. The instrument
samples are poignant shots of pure bliss - each group (ebolisis,
Resotar, Verbitar are some of the named groups) play out well over
multiple octaves and provided me with hours of twiddling. Loop point
wise, these are spot on great. No pops or clicks, and the one shots
work well layered with each other, providing rich atmospheres and deep
spatial ambience. This cd would work well in creating any kind of
ambient/shoegaze/dreampop style track, and would also work very well in
adding that "unknown" element to a stale digital track... - Michael

"And while we're at it, let's just quickly look at one of Homegrown's
older sample CDs. It's a lush effort of heavily processed guitar
samples, the sorts of sounds you end up with after experimenting for
hours with racks of effects. Some great stuff on here for backdrops
intro, atmospheres and a great chilled vibe." Andy Jones - Future Music
