Musical Sampling Hoard Picked Acoustic v1.1.0 KONTAKT
Hoard Picked Acoustic is a versatile and agile legato guitar library meticulously crafted for Kontakt.
Like our Hoard Mandolin library, our goal was to create an instrument capable of handling a wide range of guitar melodies seamlessly, eliminating the necessity for keyswitching.
The Master Legato Main patch is a versatile workhorse, incorporating multiple legato articulations: Natural legato, slide to pluck (with CC slide speed control), hammer-on/off, and slide without plucking – all seamlessly switchable via velocity control. Additionally, we provided a distinctive palm-muted legato patch with its own unique flavor.
The Performance Sustains patch is equally significant, showcasing five velocity levels, including the two softest ones for palm-muted and slightly palm-muted performances, significantly broadening the range of phrasing possibilities.
To enhance the authenticity of your guitar tracks, we’ve included a comprehensive, yet subtle, fret noises patch, along with a room tone, breath, and movement patch — all designed to infuse character, warmth, and humanity into your compositions.
For added versatility, we’ve thoughtfully included tuned and doubler versions of several patches to cater to your double-tracking requirements.
