Session Guitarist - Acoustic Sunburst Deluxe: Acoustic Guitar Instrument for Kontakt

The instrument is built on tones captured from a steel-string acoustic jumbo guitar. Native Instruments says the updated strumming engine is meant to produce realistic performances from a keyboard, so you do not need a physical guitar to program parts.

You can play with fingers or a plectrum and work with a range of techniques, including muted, open, slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs. Controls for fret noise, vibrato, humanize and swing let you adjust the feel of a part to match your arrangement.

The library includes over 250 picked and strummed patterns. These give you a starting point for chords and rhythms when you are sketching a song, and they can be edited or replaced with your own melodies.

The instrument is a practical choice for songwriting in any style, as the product features suggest, and it works as a source of acoustic guitar parts for production work alongside other instruments.
