AcousticGuitar 4.0 Pre-Sale
The next generation Pettinhouse acoustic guitar library for expressive Kontakt performances.
( KONTAKT FULL VERSION ONLY. NO KONTAKT PLAYER )
After a long development process, AcousticGuitar 4.0 is ready for its first preview. This is more than an update: it introduces a new proprietary engine created to make acoustic guitar parts feel more natural, expressive and alive inside Kontakt.
AcousticGuitar 4.0 focuses on performance. The engine is designed to reduce repetition, react musically to your playing, and connect articulations in a way that feels closer to a real guitarist.
One of the most important new additions is Funky Mode, inspired by the Pettinhouse DirectGuitar series. It brings scratches, muted grooves, rhythmic strums and tight funky patterns directly into an acoustic guitar library.
