  • round robin sampled.
  • for Kontakt 5.

Audio

{See video at top of page}

Finger picked Acoustic Guitar, Flageolets and psychedelic FX Guitar. All samples have been recorded 4-times and sampled round robin. The Modest Guitar sounds warm and organic. You can also hear some decent guitar player noises on the flageolets which can create an additional pleasant atmosphere.

Since the Modest Guitar was actually made for the advanced round robin tutorial in first place the sampling was not the priority. But we found that it can still sound very beautiful in some situations and decided to also release it as free Kontakt instrument.

Key Switches & FX Control
Use B-1 key to turn off all instruments at once. With C0 (Acoustic Guitar), D0 (Flageolets) and E0 (Psychedelic FX Guitar) you can toggle the single instruments.
