When I started this thread I was pretty sure Greg would NOT have the acoustic done by the end of 2010. It was tongue in cheek. The more amazing demos I'm hearing from Greg, it's almost like he's saying, "would you wait for THIS?" ...Yes! I check the status here every day. Very nice work Greg!!

OK, Greg, the first few demos were nice little teasers, but now you're just being cruel!






Wow - I don't think I've ever been so excited about a sample library.

For those of you wondering about how the picked strumming works, here's a test: http://www.orangetreesamples.com/audio/acguitarstrum.mp3

One thing is, with Greg's updates, we at least get a sense of how much work goes into creating a library of this quality. Realizing this helps temper my impatience a little --- just a little, though!

Since the Acoustic will be for Kontakt4, will the download be in the compressed format? It sounds like it's going to be a fairly large file! -Perry-

Yes, I am absolutely using the NCW compression!

I just sent out the beta version to the testers. I still have a lot of work to do, but that's mostly to do with getting the user's guide done, webpage, etc. Oh, and the audio demos--I'll be sure and save MIDI files to include with the product as well.

I'm not on the facebook anymore, but still hope I'm closest in the "guess the size" contest.

Very soon, we shall see...

Well, if I don't win, I may be forced to buy it. You have been warned!

Hopefully the alpha version will be out VERY soon.

I have an email I printed out with a discount code for being one of the early purchasers of the EEG.
Printed on it was ,"coming the Acoustic Guitar July (2010)"

. I am glad Greg is taking his time to give us a Grade A product

Every one here seems pretty cool with the wait ,, unlike my brethren with the Sonar X1B patch and the Slate VCC ...LOL

Yeah I kept adding more and more articulations planned to the acoustic guitar, that it took much longer than anticipated. As for the discount code from the group buy--I'm glad you brought it up because it indeed will be active.

Got great reports back from the beta testers already.

Hi Greg,

is there anything I could do to join the beta? I have a recording week in about 10 days, and it would be fab to add some acoustic magic to it.

Cheers,
TQ

I just sent you a PM and we can figure things out. We're getting close, though--I'm working on the manual and website now.
