The library offers a variety of articulations, including sustains, palm mutes, and natural harmonics, alongside special effects like string slaps and body hits. Each articulation is recorded with three dynamic layers and four round-robins, ensuring a natural and expressive performance. The sampling captures both the raw signal and an enhanced version, allowing for flexibility in tone shaping.

Built on the Evolution engine, the library includes a strumming pattern editor and automatic chord detection, facilitating authentic strumming and picking patterns. The interface is designed for ease of use, with a powerful mapping system that allows for custom articulation triggering based on velocity ranges and MIDI CCs. This makes Evolution Dry Relic a versatile tool for enhancing acoustic guitar parts in various musical contexts.
