What is the composition being played at e.g. 1:17 to demo each instrument? It's really great!
Thanks you for this comparison, it was so informative.
efimov must be 14 years old and s tilll one of the best
ample luthier is the boldest but it is slightly CPU intensive and the built in effects make it hard to place in the mix, session picked nylon very EQ'ued and open till it sounds like a steel guitar and it comes with a non sense patterns so you will never play it without tweaking for minutes ,, realguitar is kind of plastic sound …. if find that ample is the best nylon but you have to fight it with EQ and move it with fx … its fantastic as lead with a bright piano adlibs and jazz bass
Man, you make that guitar sing. Just really smooth techniques and flow.
I have 4 of the 6. None of these even come close to Indiginus Renaxxance – $69
Too bad that Kontakt Picked Nylon stops at the high G#. The last 3 (A, A#, B and on the newer guitars even the high C) is not recognized and will not be played!
I also find that the effects are too close to the bass notes, so that there is no room for a 10-string guitar.
Hello. Could you tell, what piece did you play at the beginning?
My opinion, as someone who plays on guitar(nylon and regular) for 20 years, the most realistic sounds: Omnisphere and MG Soft Nylon. Other vsts have too much difference between attack and release, they are sounding more like dulcimer(or cimbalom).
Ilya Efimov is not on the list, but he sounds pretty well too. Though they all suck comparing to real guitar. Still. Sadly.
Awesome
Nylon Sky <3
STOP TALKINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
sir how can i contact you please write your whatsapp number.
the fret position on the Native Instruments Picked Nylon can be assgined to a MIDI cc, I tried it in my recent project
Can these virtual instrument plugins be used if my input was from an acoustic guitar. I generally lay acoustic guitar tracks but I am looking for something that could take my acoustic guitar performance and drag a virtual instrument to the track and create a specific guitar sound. For example I don't own a nylon string guitar but think my track would benefit from a nylon sound when I tracked using a steel string. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I play guitar NOT piano!
why you do not include ornage tree evolution nylon?
in my opinion the Native Instruments one sounds the most real.
I'm surprised you didn't include "Sketch Nylon"
The best there is!
Thank you for this, your time and effort to bring us quality samples and the works.
Applied Acoustics Systems – Strum GS-2 also and Have Pattern
Thanks and big thumb up a lot for the smart review. Unfortunately, as a classical guitarist, none of these VSTI satisfy me : they really sound like VSTI, not like a real guitar. Guitar is the only instrument that gives my this unsatisfaction as a matter of VSTI…
Ilya Efimov Nylon Guitar. There is no better sounding plugin. Made a long time ago, but still has no match.
Nylon Sky is pretty sweet these days. But I always end up reaching for good ol’ Orange Tree Evolution Modern Nylon for lead nylon guitar. It just sounds sooooo goooood.
Except Modartt (didn’t know about) and Soft Nylon, I use all these, even RealGuitar which hasn’t updated their Nylon sample set in nearly 20 years ????. You never know which tone will fit the song you’re working on.
For electric guitars, Soundprop electric di guitars I like the best. Plug in a overloud th-u preset and you’re off to the races.
Omnisphere version sounds like it was played on keyboard…would never use that one.
