A delicate steel string guitar
A beautifully recorded, meticulously crafted acoustic guitar with emphasis on the soft and delicate.
Recorded at Spitfire HQ with a pair of vintage Neumann U87's, MG Soft Acoustic Guitar brings the soft sweet tone of a Martin J-40 steel string acoustic guitar, featuring various playing modes including a feature-rich chord / strum system and a fully customisable step sequencer plus a MIDI Drag and Drop feature. With deep sampling covering all guitar-related articulations including mutes, harmonics, slides, slurs, vibrato and string/body hits.
Recorded and scripted from the ground-up by composer and virtuoso guitarist Mike Georgiades, this guitar aims to set a new standard for virtual guitar libraries, offering a remarkably authentic sound out of the box, and helping to demystify the workings of the guitar for non-guitarists.
Key features
- A vast array of samples, with up to 7x round robins and 5 velocity layers.
- Offering all standard articulations including mutes, harmonics, slides (pre and post note), slurs, vibrato, bends and hits (string and body).
- Recorded with a pair of vintage Neumann U87 microphones.
- 8 separate NKIs included, each set up with suitable guitar calibration, FX chain and relevant sequence patterns.
- Choose from standard guitar tunings or create custom tunings.
- FX section with 5 FX modules; Convolution Reverb, Algorithmic Reverb, Chorus, Delay and EQ.
This is the default mode when first opening the instrument UI. As with all modes, the top half section displays the actual Martin J40 guitar from which the samples were recorded, and on the virtual fretboard any inputted (or automated) notes will be displayed.
An all-new feature
Chord Mode enables the chord / strumming engine, and the UI provides many options for customising the guitar's playing style.
An all-new feature
Sequencer Mode features a fully customisable 4-bank 32-step (max) sequencer. Users can load and edit preset sequences, or create their own from scratch and save it. Each step of the sequence can be edited to alter the played string(s), articulation, pick/strum direction and volume. A very useful additional feature is the ability to record MIDI information and drag/drop the recording to DAW.
An all-new feature
This is the FX section where any combination of five different effects can be activated. The user can arrange the order of the FX modules, which execute in order from left to right.
