El Dorado: Legato Ambient Guitar is built around realistic, expressive legato playing without sacrificing playability. Loot Audio pairs the legato patches with pads and sustains aimed at ambient and post-rock textures. The master patch lets you play pads and legato or sustain sounds together across chosen keyboard ranges, which suits improvising over a scene or sketching ideas with both hands.

Legato engine and playing response

The legato script offers five types of transitions that adapt to how you play. Loot Audio says the engine simulates the behavior of an electric guitar, so fast and slow lines, soft and loud passages can all be played with a convincing feel. The library includes numerous round robins and three dynamic layers to add variation across repeated notes and different playing intensities.

The interface shows its options on one screen rather than in nested submenus, so adjustments are quick to make during a session.

Pads, crossfading and integrated effects

The guitar-based pads can be crossfaded manually or automatically. The motion knob handles automatic crossfading, which keeps both hands free for playing, while CC1 supports traditional manual crossfading. Integrated effects are included to shape the final sound within the instrument.

The library suits composers working to tight deadlines who need speed, as well as players who mainly want to improvise on their keyboard.
