Session Guitarist - Picked Nylon

Has this string lost its tension?

Native Instruments releases Session Guitarist Picked Nylon*, the 7th release Session Guitarist series sampled guitars. The release comes only three months after Session Guitarist Electric Vintage. Session Guitarist Picked Nylon is based on the sound of a hand-crafted nylon-stringed acoustic guitar built by Lisa Weinzierl.

In yet another collaboration with Drumasonic, the creators sampled the guitar's sound and shaped them into over 200 strummed and picked patterns, riffs, glissandi, tremolos and dead notes. Both traditional pattern styles, such as Flamenco and Tango, are included, as well as more modern ones like Rock/Pop and Electro. Using notes mapped on the keyboard, you can interactively switch articulations, patterns, endings and slides whilst playing. Individual patterns can be tweaked in note length, articulation and fret position.

Like all instruments in the Session Guitarist series*, Picked Nylon operates within the Kontakt sampler and includes two instruments – one for picked and strummed patterns, and another for creating melodies. The engine also allows you to blend three different mic signals, adjust tuning, playing style, and fret position, and includes stomp boxes, amps, cabs, and other effects.
