Classical Guitar
ClassicGuitar 2.0.0 is a classical guitar sample library. Soft, warm sound with rich bass. Perfect for any kind of fingerstyle. Recorded in stereo, dry sound without effects. Contains key switches, intelligent circular repeats for alternating notes, natural decay, natural vibrato and string muting samples.
Strum Speed
Here you can adjust the speed and direction of the string strokes (up-/downstroke). In automatic mode, the algorithm selects up-/downstroke, taking into account that on a real instrument upstroke is usually faster. The algorithm understands whether you are playing a single chord or a sequence. For example, for a single-chord intro, it automatically uses downstroke, like on a real guitar. The volume of the strokes is adjusted using the Velocity Range.
Strum
Five special buttons allow you to use the Pluck & Chuck technique when the strings are partially or completely muted during the 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 by fingerpicking individual strings. When playing in real strumming, you can hear not only the sound of the notes, but also the characteristic noise from the contact of the fingernails or pick with the strings. To accurately convey these acoustic features, separate noise samples were added to each key. All noises are multi-layered, with the ability to adjust volume, speed, pitch, timbre and stereo panorama: this allows for flexible sound control.
True Legato
ClassicGuitar 2.0.0 uses real legato. You can play half-tone and whole-tone legato phrases, trills, octave legato and legato through a seventh. In addition, the legato technique allows you to play slides up/down: to do this, just play three or more notes in a row legato.
Latch
Latch is like a sustain pedal on maximum. 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 last until you play a new chord or note, which will automatically replace the previous ones. An important nuance: the replacement occurs only when playing staccato. If you play legato, all the pressed notes will sound together – just like with normal use of the sustain pedal.
