Some really awesome scripting in this one! Certainly one of the more realistic sounding guitar libraries I’ve heard
I enjoy spitfire, but if you like this scripting check out OrangeTree’s vast and varied guitar libraries. Very good quality IMO – long time user and fan. If i didnt have those id nab this one.
Looks very much like the MusicLab RealGuitar, with the 3 modes, etc., etc.
Too bad it doesn’t have the Nylon version of it included…
If you’re going to be inspired by the RealGuitar, then might as well go all the way… lol
