Classical Guitar models a Kremona Solea, an expertly crafted nylon string guitar. It truly blurs the line between sample and modeling technology, and great lengths were taken to create this bundle of more than 2,300 samples. Using hybrid modeling technology, Classical Guitar works equally well as a sample library or as a virtual instrument.

As an instrument played in real-time you can switch between over 15 guitar techniques including vibrato, legato, glissando, and more. Timbre can also be changed in real-time to further emulate the intricacies of playing an actual guitar.

It’s available for Windows/Mac 64-bit in VST and AU formats.

One of the more unique sample packs available, Ting takes its percussive sounds from ordinary household objects and acoustic spaces. In total there are 12 different sounds, each one multi-sampled for use in music production and sound design. Some of the sounds include things like hand claps, silverware, car keys, finger snaps, and more.

There are also on-board effects like EQ and compression, six reverbs, and five room impulses. The room sounds include such unique spaces as a kitchen, home office, and closet. It’s a very novel idea that has utility in all kinds of music and sound design applications.
