This library aims to redefine MIDI-based guitar simulation, offering a level of realism that allows for confident use in final productions.

Details

The library includes both fingered and picked articulations, with a total of 6. of uncompressed samples. It employs extensive scripting from the Evolution guitar engine, enabling intuitive playability via MIDI keyboards or sequencing. Each string is individually sampled, supported by a performance-modeled string and fret selection engine, which enhances the organic quality of the sound.

With four round-robin samples, the library effectively mitigates the machine-gun effect often found in sampled instruments. It also features a unique monophonic/polyphonic hybrid mode, allowing for legato lead lines or chordal parts within a single patch. Alternate tunings can be applied, realistically altering the tone of individual strings. Legato articulations, including slides, further enhance expressiveness.

Designed for use with Native Instruments' Kontakt Player, the library integrates seamlessly with the Native Kontrol Standard, providing additional control and convenience when paired with Komplete Kontrol hardware. This makes it a versatile tool for composers seeking a realistic acoustic guitar sound in their projects.
