NI Session Guitarist: Strummed Acoustic 2 (Acoustic Guitar Library) Ģ0 Best Kontakt Libraries For All Categories (Synths, Drums, Vocals) 2. It sounds natural as a backing instrument, but the melodic mode requires careful programming to avoid sounding robotic since it doesn’t have a humanize feature.

The guitar itself is pristine with no weird resonance and Picked Acoustic samples it very well too. You’ll enjoy the sound of this classic instrument if you are a fan of 70s and 80s music. The library requires Kontakt Player or Kontakt (version 6.1+). Kontakt is available for Windows 7 or higher and macOS 10.13 or higher, both 64-bit only. Add the proprietary REPLIKA delay plugin, plate reverb, chorus, compressor, saturator, and more to create the guitar sound you want. However, it’s the built-in effects that add drastic flavors to the sound. The mic setups allow you to adjust the stereo width and add doubling to modify the tone. I personally love the last one for solo guitar arrangements. And finally, Ribbon uses two ribbon mics for a classy, vintage sound. And Dynamic employs a dynamic mic as well as a tube condenser mic in figure-8 polar pattern for adjustable stereo width. The Condenser setup uses two condenser mics for a natural stereo image. There are three microphone setups in the library: Condenser, Dynamic, and Ribbon. Furthermore, you can add vibrato, hammer-ons, slides, accuracy, and pull-offs for authentic performance. Similarly, the melodic mode features open, muted, flageolet, and tremolo articulations, each with fingered and picked variety. The patterns include 194 picking and strumming loops covering a wide range of genres. The library comes with a dedicated instrument for pattern-based and melodic performance each.
