Session Guitarist Strummed Acoustic 2 Kontakt Library (2024)

Session Guitarist: Strummed Acoustic 2 – The Ultimate Rhythm Guitar Library

• Downstrokes and Upstrokes: The library handles alternate picking automatically, but you can force specific strums using dedicated key switches.
• Muting: By playing staccato (short) notes on the keyboard, the engine triggers muted strums (palm mutes or "chugs").
• Fretnoise: Adjustable sliders control the volume of finger sliding and fretting noises to add organic texture.
• Pickup Patterns: Strummed Acoustic 2 features a double-tracking mode ("Pickup") to simulate a stereo recording of two guitars playing in unison for a wider sound.

• Strum Speed: Controls how fast the pick travels across the strings. Slow speeds sound lazy and groovy; fast speeds sound aggressive.
• Noise Level: Adds finger squeaks, pick scratches, and breathing from the session player. At 100%, it sounds like a lo-fi folk record. At 0%, it sounds sterile—perfect for pop.
• Strum Division: Force the pattern to play swung, straight, or even "laid back."

Pattern Selection

• The library does not play melodies; it plays strumming patterns.
• Patterns are selected via Key Switches (usually the lower octaves of the keyboard).
• Patterns are organized by time signature (4/4, 3/4, 6/8) and musical feel (e.g., "Ballad," "Country," "Pop Rock").
