Description: Guitar
Evolution Steel Strings features an iconic, Martin D16R steel string acoustic guitar recorded in stereo with top-notch mics and preamps in 24-bit, 48 khz for the best tone and fidelity possible. While most acoustic guitar sample libraries are sampled using only one mic, we used stereo micing, for a more natural tone, and also adjustable stereo width. The superior construction of the guitar used resulted in minimal buzzing on even the hardest hit notes. (Buzzing is an often cited problem with some of the popular acoustic guitar libraries for KONTAKT on the market.)
Features include:
- Both fingered and picked articulations totaling 6.5 GB of uncompressed samples.
-
Extensive scripting from the Evolution guitar engine, makes for an intuitive, instant playable library from either or a MIDI keyboard or when sequencing.
-
Individually sampled strings, powered by a performance modeled string/fret selection engine.
-
A proprietary resonance engine for unparalleled organic realism from a sample library.
-
4x round-robin samples to avoid the machine gun effect when repeating notes.
-
A unique monophonic/polyphonic hybrid. Play legato lead lines or chordal parts in a single patch.
-
Alternate tunings that not only change the range of the instrument, but also realistically alter the tone of individual strings.
-
Legato articulations, including slides.
What’s new version 1.3.0 :
New settings: “Legato Time Start” and “Legato Time Length” that let you set time thresholds for whether or not the legato articulations will get triggered.
New setting: “Strum Pattern Dynamic” to control the strumming pattern dynamic in real-time.
New setting: “Mapping Octave” that shifts the instruments’ entire mapping up/down by octaves.
New setting: “Performance Effect Muting” to make things like string slaps mute any held notes.
Improved: String overriding keyswitches are now MIDI channel specific, only applying to notes on the same MIDI channel as the keyswitch.
Improved: MIDI guitar setting is now a dropdown menu with different options for how each string is mapped to different MIDI channels.
Improved: “Dynamic Memory” setting is now a dropdown menu named “Sample Purging” that contains an addition option to revert to Kontakt’s own built-in memory handling.
Improved: “Release Slide Down” articulation can now get selected even after a note is initially triggered.
Fixed pitch bend modes intermittently not affecting notes.
Fixed a bug where strumming performance FX wouldn’t mute notes held on the keyboard in certain situations.
Fixed a bug where certain strummed chords would get played as legato in specific scenarios.
