Session Guitarist - Picked Acoustic: Sampled Martin 00-21 for Kontakt

The instrument provides three stereo microphone setups, each giving the guitar a distinct character. The condenser setup uses two condenser microphones for a natural, modern stereo image. The dynamic setup uses a vintage dynamic microphone, supplemented by a tube condenser in figure-of-eight mode, so you can adjust stereo width. The ribbon setup uses two ribbon microphones for a rich, warm vintage tone.

Beyond microphone selection, you can adjust stereo width, add doubling and apply high-end studio effects. The effects section includes a delay, a plate reverb, chorus, vintage compression and tape saturation.

The pattern instrument contains 194 picking and strumming patterns across a range of styles and genres, including picked rhythms, arpeggios and strummed patterns. The second instrument is set up for melodies, and you can layer loops and melodies into one performance.

Performance tools include vibrato, hammer-ons and pull-offs, harmonics and tremolo. These techniques can be played with fingers or a plectrum in multiple positions on the neck. You can also add slides and fret noise and adjust the tuning accuracy.

When paired with a Komplete Kontrol keyboard, the instrument can be browsed, tweaked and previewed from the hardware. The Light Guide shows key ranges and articulations at a glance.
