I want to use lower notes(D#3,D3) from a Kontakt guitar library, but the samples start from E3. Is there any library which has dropped guitar notes? Or is there any way that I can produce them? I'm using FL Studio if it matters

You can drop to lower notes in Kontakt by extending the mapping of the lowest note.

Make sure you save it with a new name in case you make a mistake.

You would do it in the mapping editor.

I did it because I frequently use drop D tuning.

If you go much beyond that it will eventually not sound so good.

I think the Orange Tree guitar goes lower. You might try that.

I'm using Strawberry and it doesn't go lower than E3

Shreddage does drop tunings as far as I know.

It's designed especially for metal, though.
I don't know how it will work out for other styles.
The samples are clean and need amp sims for distortion.
There are some very impressive demo tunes floating around.

In the Evolution Electric Guitar Strawberry guitar library for Kontakt, you can detune all the way to a low E1. That's an octave below the standard tuning low E! You'll have to move the strumming keyswitches out of the way to access those notes, though (you can do this from the "keyswitches" section of the interface).

What P.T said. What I would do is copy/paste the E# zone and map it to D#, then E to D and so on, instead of just stretching the lower note over. As long as you don't use Time Machine, it should sound very natural.

You could also use the master tune.
