Ilya Efimov Sound Production has released the Ilya Efimov Acoustic Guitar library for Kontakt.

For recording they used Taylor Guitars to represent a dry, close, yet wide tone, which can easily be tweaked and adjusted to any of the user's mixing needs.

Each string, on each fret, is sampled into as many as 14 dynamic velocity layers. The unique string selection module is then used to correctly position the hand of a virtual player along the guitar neck, precisely in accordance with the pressed MIDI keys. The user can switch between the automatic and manual modes depending on their needs.

Features:

• 3,660 samples, 2.1 GB (NCW Compression), 44.1 Hz / 24-bit, stereo.
• 14 velocity layers for each note.
