You’re not only acquiring the tools to create captivating soundtracks but also supporting independent music creation. Your contribution helps me continue developing innovative instruments and sample packs for Pianobook.
From the resonant depths of a Taylor 214ce, a captivating collection of instruments emerges. Born from the fusion of pristine acoustic recordings and meticulous sound design, this library unveils the boundless potential of arpeggiated guitar textures.
Each fleeting pluck has been captured with an AKG C1000 microphone, preserving the innate beauty and character of the instrument. Within the depths of Kontakt, these raw recordings undergo a metamorphosis, imbued with layers of sonic complexity and nuance.
The result is a symphony of arpeggiated guitar sounds that transcend the limitations of their source material. From shimmering cascades to pulsating rhythms, each instrument within this library is a testament to the power of creative sound design.
Intuitive controls grant you mastery over the arpeggiator’s parameters, allowing you to sculpt intricate patterns and manipulate the flow of time itself. Whether you seek to evoke the ethereal beauty of cascading waterfalls or the driving force of relentless rhythms, this library grants you the power to shape the very essence of sound.
Embark on a journey of sonic exploration with this captivating collection of arpeggiated guitar instruments. Let the samples guide you through uncharted sonic territories, where the boundaries between acoustic and electronic dissolve into a realm of limitless possibility.

ARPAG - ARPeggiator Acoustic Guitar
Reviews
Something new for me
I thought I would struggle to write a review on this one. I don't use arp's. I have loads of them on my hard drive but tend to avoid them all. I have had a little play with this one though, and susprisingley I find I quite like it. It makes some interesting sounds which I can see being useful somewhere. It's quite inspiring to play and it was starting to give me ideas on ways to use it. This is one I will come back to.
Guitar Meets Arpeggiator
This sample pack seems to have started life and an unassuming guitar library, but when a nuclear accident involving an arpeggiator occurred, it became forever changed. Some of the sounds here are incredibly noisy, in particular "Ostinato," but there's a lot of well recorded and inspiring presets too. This is a worthy download and something I'll reach for the next time I need a little inspiration.
Interesting, but difficult
An interesting sound collection for sure, however it is quite difficult to mix into a section of music. I have used it lightly for a few solo sections, where it works best on its own, if touched up with a few effects.
