03In depth

Sound and Recording Character

The guitar was captured in fine detail, and the developer describes its timbres as clean and mellow. That tonal balance is aimed at genres where a nylon guitar sits naturally, from classical and electronica to bossa nova and flamenco.

Multiple microphone positionings let you choose the sound of the recording before you add effects. Pro-grade studio effects are included for further shaping, so the instrument can move from a dry, close sound to a more spacious one within the same patch.

Patterns, Phrases and Workflow

The instrument includes 201 picked and strummed patterns recorded by a session player. These give you a starting point for accompaniment, and you can also play your own melodies on the instrument.

Updated riff and phrase modes and MIDI drag and drop are included, so patterns and phrases can be moved into your sequencer quickly. NKS support is included for browsing and integration with compatible hosts.
