Mike Georgiades’ Nylon Alchemy
Soft Dynamic Nuances, 163 MIDI Patterns, and Scripted Realism for TV, Game, and Modern Acoustic Scoring

MG Soft Nylon Guitar embodies Mike Georgiades’ years of refinement, offering composers a scripted guitar library that mirrors the organic behaviors of a real instrument. Recorded with Neumann TLM 193 mics in a reflective studio, its soft, nuanced performances include hammer-ons, pull-offs, trills, and slides—ideal for classical, folk, or ambient genres. With **163 free MIDI patterns**, customizable tuning presets (Drop D, DADGAD, Open Major/Minor), and spatial effects like "Classical Hall" or "Space FX," it bridges traditional guitar craftsmanship with modern scoring workflows.
Written and created by Pianobook Artist - Mike Georgiades
Soft Nylon Guitar, from Mike Georgiades, offers the beauty and warmth of an intimately recorded nylon string guitar, whilst replicating all the behaviours and nuances of a real guitar through detailed scripting and careful calibration. As its name suggests, the samples were performed with emphasis on the soft and delicate.
"Rather than using a full-size classical guitar and its somewhat ‘formal’ tone, I sampled a small- bodied nylon guitar that I have used countless times on my TV production music and video game scores, which offers a very flexible voice in many styles, from traditional classical and folk to modern production genres.
After some years in development, my mission has been to offer a guitar VST capable of delivering ground-breaking realism through an intuitive real-time playing experience."
