Muted
Gibson J45 Rosewood Muted
Taylor 914 Muted
Taylor 955 Twelve String Muted
Vantage Twelve String Muted
The "Muted" folder contains four very different guitars (two six-strings
and two twelve-strings) playing muted notes, along with some
special effects variations on them. All muted instruments employ a
random sample selection technique for added realism: each time you
strike a note, it will randomly choose one of four possible samples to
play, for increased realism.
Nylon String
Hofner Nylon
Langejan Nylon
Two different nylon-stringed guitars have been sampled: a Hofner
and a Langejan. For each guitar, three different picking positions
were sampled: finger, nail, and thumb. While it would be uncommon
for a real nylon guitarist to play the higher strings with a thumb, we
have sampled and provided the full range of the guitar sampled with
the thumb. Each of the three picking position gives a different
character to the same guitar.
There are three different ways to approach the nylon picking
positions. First, the individual patches for finger, nail, and thumb are
provided for individual loading. Second, the basic patches (labeled
simply "Hofner Nylon" and "Langejan Nylon") employ a split point
selected for you: notes below D3 are played with the thumb and
notes above D3 are played with the finger, and no nail samples are
used. Third, keyswitch patches are provided that load all three layers
simultaneously and allow you to use three keyswitch triggers to
switch between them: C0 triggers thumb samples, D0 triggers finger
samples, and E0 triggers nail samples. A number of variant patches,
including NR and QL patches, are also provided.
