Nylon Rustique

Description

Overview

Nylon Rustique by Musical Sampling is a professional emotional legato nylon guitar library designed specifically for delicate, expressive lines in slower to moderate-tempo musical contexts. This instrument focuses on providing a natural, warm sound that avoids the complexity of keyswitches, allowing composers to focus on the emotional delivery of their performance.

The library features a sophisticated velocity-based legato system. Depending on the velocity of the note entry, the instrument triggers three distinct legato types: plucked natural legato, slides without plucks (up to a whole-step), and slides with pluck articulations. Additionally, the modwheel provides precise control over the speed of these slides, ensuring a highly realistic and playable experience.
