Sound, Articulations and Playing Techniques

The instrument uses sampled finger and pick libraries of the Alhambra Luthier classical guitar. Nine articulations are available, including legato slides, palm mutes, harmonics and pops.

Poly Legato and Slide Smoother are designed to make connected phrases sound natural, and the capo and tuning logic lets you move the instrument's pitch reference without re-recording parts.

Riffer, Strummer and Built-In Effects

Riffer offers eight editable note attributes and a Dice riff generator for producing starting ideas. Strummer provides 28 play variations per chord, a rhythm sequencer and legato integration, which suits chord-based acoustic writing.

The built-in FX chain includes an 8-band EQ, a dual-mode compressor, stereo echo and 3D IR reverb. Full parameter automation is available through the CPC (Custom Parameter Control) system.
