Classical Guitar
ClassicGuitar 2.0.0 is a classical guitar sample library. Soft, warm sound with a rich bass. Perfect for any type of fingerpicking style. Recorded in stereo, the dry sound is unprocessed. Includes key switches, intelligent circular repeats for note alternation, natural decay, natural vibrato, and string muting samples.
Strum Speed:
Here you can adjust the speed and direction of string picking (up-/downstroke). In automatic mode, the algorithm selects up-/downstroke, taking into account that upstroke is usually faster on a real instrument. The algorithm understands whether you are playing a single chord or a sequence. For example, for a single-chord intro, it automatically uses a downstroke, just like on a real guitar. The volume of the picking is adjusted using the Velocity Range.
Strum:
Five dedicated buttons allow you to use the Pluck & Chuck technique, where the strings are partially or completely muted during a performance. This adds rhythm and makes the sound more percussive, which is especially important for rhythm parts.
Strum Noise:
In this instrument, the noise from striking the strings is recorded separately from the notes. Creating a realistic sound is extremely difficult, especially when the original samples were recorded fingerpicking individual strings. When strumming, you hear not only the sound of the notes but also the characteristic noise from the contact of your fingernails or pick with the strings. To accurately convey these acoustic characteristics, separate noise samples were added to each key. All noises are multi-layered, with adjustable volume, speed, pitch, timbre, and stereo panorama, allowing for flexible sound control.
True Legato
ClassicGuitar 2.0.0 uses true legato. You can play semitone and whole-tone legato phrases, trills, octave legato, and seventh-note legato. In addition, the legato technique allows you to play slides up and down: to do this, just play three or more notes in a row legato.
Latch
Latch is like a sustain pedal on maximum power. Press a key or chord, and the notes continue to sound even if you remove your fingers from the keys (just like when the sustain pedal is pressed). The sound will continue until you play a new chord or note, which will automatically replace the previous ones. An important detail: the replacement occurs only when playing staccato. If you play legato, all the pressed notes will sound together – just like when using a normal sustain pedal.
