Looking for good Acoustic 6-string (preferably picked) guitar library with slides and hammer-ons ( for Kontakt preferably or vst),

Currently have orange tree samples evolution songwriter and flat pick libraries which have really horrible slides and hammer-ons, and not very playable, with lots of programming can get decent performance except the slides and hammer-ons but definitely can’t play the parts live.

Take look at the Ample acoustics, and the Prominy Hummingbird. The latter's probably gonna be too complicated to play parts live, though.

My favorite remains Pettinhouse's Acoustic Guitar 2.0, great sound & very easy to play

Great hammer ons & slides articulations sounds that you can play by velocity switch, not true legato but it sounds great
The strummer mode is great & easy to play too, patterns you can play by just playing chords on your keyboards

AmpleSound Martin is great too and has a true legato playing

Listened and watched a lot of videos on prominy hummingbird,
sounds a little plasticky to me and slides and hammer-ons are not that good sounding, I can’t understand why it’s 30GB in size.

Ample Acoustics Martin sounds pretty decent, Iliya Efimov, and Indiginus renegade too especially indiginus nylon renaxxanse pretty good nylon.

I like aria classical nylon the best for nylon guitar sound but it doesn’t have any slides or hammer-ons unfortunately.

There used to be plugin called plug sound box fretted, had nylon guitar, the very first preset in the plugin, with really nice slides.
But it’s long time discontinued.

If you don't like the slides/hammer-ons from Prominy then I wouldn't know where to go from there... I haven't heard better ones in a library. OTS sounds fine to me too. Could you describe what's wrong with them in more detail?

Now I wonder, is it because you play acoustic guitar that you can hear flaws that I don't?

i dont know how I was listening, just listened to youtube videos of hummingbird, sounds really really good, probably the best out of all, just wondering how easy is it to play and program it,
since I checked out orange tree samples evolution series acoustic guitars, but they have bad and annoying slides and hammer ons, it didnt blend together with the sustain note at all, they sound very clicky at the transient and right after the transient very compressed at dull.. just un-usable.

Ilya Efimov has some great stuff for Kontakt.
