Sample CD

This comprehensive library features the beautiful, clear tone of a massively multi-ampled Martin 000-16. When you load the intuitively multi-layered InstantPlay instrument, you'll immediately start creating magic without any learning curve hassles. The license free MIDI files, captured from expressively played real guitar performances, are excellent for adding convincing picking or strumming patterns to your arrangements.

Without spending the enormous time required to get inspired takes, ideal miking, perfectly gauged and tuned instruments, and positional or ambient conditions all happening at the same time, studio-perfect guitar tracks can now be recorded using novel 21st century sampling techniques. Providing that hard-to-achieve sound instantly, absolute or sensationalized realism are now under the producer's control, providing global or even microscopic level manipulation of every possible articulation. Leveraging the near-limitless sample capacity exclusive of the GIGA platform, the MAXIMUM STRENGTH Steel String Acoustic Guitar sample library was designed to give music producers a way to produce world class acoustic guitar tracks in record time. Matt Ragan has certainly provided a fundamental improvement in sonic excellence.

More than 1,200 discreet, unlooped samples are dedicated to the instrument, providing more than a Gigabyte of realism. The musical character of this beautiful Martin 000-16 is expressed in every possible hammer-on, pull-off, palm mute, release-damp, or slide combination with any open string or fretted sustain in 6 velocities - double-tracked effects, and other variations are also included for production versatility.
