The GD-6 Acoustic Guitar is based on a Guild D-40 custom edition electro-acoustic guitar.
Acousticsamples sampled it very deeply, all frets of all strings with upstrokes, downstrokes, round robins, releases, staccatos, mutes, palm mutes, hand blocks, slides, hammer ons, pull offs, retriggers, fretnoises, percussions other articulations.
Each fret of each string has been sampled and it uses a chord recognition engine to convert your chords into standard guitar chords.
As a keyboard is not suited to play the guitar, thetriggersare separated from the note selection, and they canlaunch strum up, strum down, strum for mutes, and then the six separate strings. This makes it very easy to trigger the previously recognized chord in different ways.

AudioThing has released Soundscapes Vol.1
Soundscapes, textures and ambiences ready to use as AU/VST plug-in. These sounds are divided in two main categories: concrete and gear. The raw concrete samples were recorded in different places across Europe (Paris, Dublin, London and Naples) using studio or handy equipment. The raw gear samples were recorded from hardware synthesizers like a Custom Eurorack Modular Synth, guitar pedals and noisy toys like the Thingamagoop 2.
Details:
- 30 Instruments
- 48kHz / 24Bit
- Formats: AU and VST (32/64bit)
- Platforms: OSX, Windows
- Size: 163 MB (MAC) / 113 MB (PC)
Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.6 Intel or later
- Windows XP or later
Price: €10.

Steinberg Releases Signature Drum Kits.
Covering acoustic and electronic drum sounds while spanning a large variety of styles, the Allen Morgan Signature Drums Vol. 1 expansion pack consists of more than 900 drum sounds and effects that were recorded and processed by engineer and producer Allen Morgan, known for his work with Taylor Swift and Nine Inch Nails. The additional 150 MIDI loops provide five rhythmical patterns for each of the 30 drum kits.

More than 10 new modulation targets have been implemented, including both mixers' global levels, as well as all oscillator levels and noise source levels in each of those mixers.
Think mind-blowing morphing filters, LFO-controlled components of sounds, and excellent evolving textures — just a few flexible examples of what is now musically possible with Oxium 1.5 as a direct result! Additionally, each Mask now has its own elementary envelope, elements of which have also been added as modulation targets. This allows the creation of hitherto-unheard sequence stylings when modulating those parameters in realtime with the mod wheel or other hardware controllers. All told, the Modulation Matrix and Musical Gestures Modulation pages now boast 59 modulation targets between them, making Oxium 1.5 one of the most powerful virtual analogue soft synths for serious sound designers anywhere![P}
