Description

Soft Steel Strings, Cinematic Soul
MG Soft Acoustic Guitar – Martin J-40, 3 Play Modes & Vintage Neumann Warmth for Intimate Storytelling

MG Soft Acoustic Guitar delivers the nuanced expressiveness of a Martin J-40 steel-string guitar, meticulously recorded at Spitfire HQ by composer/guitarist Mike Georgiades. The library’s three play modes — Note (standard playing), Chord (strumming engine), and Sequencer (32-step patterns with MIDI drag-and-drop) — cater to both guitarists and non-players. With 7x round robins, 5 velocity layers, and articulations like slides, harmonics, and body hits, it ensures lifelike phrasing. Eight presets (e.g., "Aged," "In Space") and a customizable FX chain (reverb, chorus, delay) refine its intimate, cinematic sound.

A delicate steel string guitar

A beautifully recorded, meticulously crafted acoustic guitar with emphasis on the soft and delicate.

Recorded at Spitfire HQ with a pair of vintage Neumann U87’s, MG Soft Acoustic Guitar brings the soft sweet tone of a Martin J-40 steel string acoustic guitar, featuring various playing modes including a feature-rich chord / strum system and a fully customisable step sequencer plus a MIDI Drag and Drop feature. With deep sampling covering all guitar-related articulations including mutes, harmonics, slides, slurs, vibrato and string/body hits.

Recorded and scripted from the ground-up by composer and virtuoso guitarist Mike Georgiades, this guitar aims to set a new standard for virtual guitar libraries, offering a remarkably authentic sound out of the box, and helping to demystify the workings of the guitar for non-guitarists.
