![]() ![]() People make them from their own guitars, you see, so they're much more realistic - being real - than modelled guitars. There's many GREAT acoustic guitar soundfonts out there and they're usually free. I'm definitely willing to do whatever it takes to get the right results and am leaning towards the Orange Tree! Undoubtedly, any direction that I go will require money and time to learn how to use the software effectively with its various articulations. I've heard Prominey is highly acclaimed, but rather more involved than OT in its key switching configuration, with a formidable learning curve.īitflipper is always generating a lot of good input, here and there on these forums, and seems to have done some good research on additional options that I will investigate.Īll in all, the common denominator appears to be having the Kontakt connection as the keys to the magic kingdom of software guitardom. I'm so far pretty interested in Orange Tree and its more simplified key switching scenario, and will have to see what I can do about raising the funds to get me in contact with Kontakt. There are many awesome comments being generated here, I think, and I always appreciate the people here on the Cakewalk Forums because they are second to none: knowledgeable and helpful! Listen to the demos you will be impressed. I use his Evolution Electric Guitar, and the acoustic steel has been on my wishlist for a while now. He's also got a really cool flute lib out now. Greg Schlaepfer's Orange Tree Samples is a highly regarded library developer, who sells electric, acoustic and bass guitar libraries. There are also lots of great free and cheap drums and percussion. Here's a free zither, a Finnish instrument called a kantele, that I have used in place of acoustic guitar. There are many low-priced and free libraries out there once you have Kontakt - check out SampleTekk (which has frequent half-price sales), Indiginus (grab all the $5 specials), Hollow Sun (vintage synths and weird stuff) and Lyrical Distortion (varying quality but cheap guitars). ![]() It will actually save you money in the long run if you're at all serious about using sampled instruments. I am actually not a fan of Native Instruments the company, yet I encourage everyone to make the investment in the full Kontakt product. This is true of sample libraries in general, but especially so for the guitar because it is such an extraordinarily expressive instrument. The best simulations are the ones that best exploit the potential of Kontakt's scripting language. Without that, you just have boring, unconvincing samples. The best simulations are based on Kontakt, because Kontakt provides the scripting that allows for variation and expressive articulation. ![]()
