Decent heavy metal guitar soundfont?

I can ask the developer if he plans to make SF2s of these but his demos sound amazing.

But I think they're patterns, rather than multisamples.
A bit hard to tell from the website, regarding what's included in the big Kontakt version.

He has booth, 2 sets of licks and a multisamples library.
I didnt have stuff to do that needed these,but when fooling around with it i loved it.

IMO, hands down the best heavy metal guitar soundfont is Sonic Implants "LES PAUL GUITAR". Sounds authentic as anything out there, especially when you vary the velocity of the guitar chords. At a velocity of 127 the guitar smacks you in the face and then if you lower the velocity on a chord it dulls it slightly just like a natural guitar would. I'm surprised not more people using rock/metal guitars haven't jumped on this one.

You don't want YSM... ehh... BUT... Prominy is having a group buy for their Les Paul Custom library right now. Dirt cheap man, even for the full version. Ends soon (March 17th).

This library is sweet. I use it for metal almost exclusively, although it can do anything.

The new performance multi makes sketching/jamming extremely fun and intuitive from the keyboard.

You can get as straight-out-of-the-box or as tweaker-geek-detail-purist as you want. Through an ampsim, LPC can't be beat. Granted, you gotta know something about playing guitar or it just won't turn out right.

But I have all the major guitar sample libraries out there and, as a guitarist myself, I can't tell the difference between it and the real thing if the music is produced correctly. Basically, I can chug chords but I suck at everything else, so I use these libraries for screaming leads I otherwise am far too lazy to try and master.

Monzter Guitars is good. DISTORTED is excellent. Bela D's LD is also good. There are these clean Giga guitar libraries which I don't own but tried out at a friend's studio, and for clean guitar... it's gotta be LPC, which provides so much more nuance to its sound even though the Giga guitars sound really good. But sound quality is not enough. They're just TOO clean. I don't feel any expression in them. LPC gives you all the noises for creating a detailed and very personalized guitar track.

I hope that I have assisted thee, good sir.

the sounddemos of LPC sounds more like Rock or 80's metal rather than Metal (mean more deep New Metalsounds)

Is this LPC Libary even for New metalstuff Useable ?

You're probably better off buying the LPC clean samples and running them through an ampsim like Guitar Rig 2, which has presets similar to Korn, Deftones, System of a Down, Slipknot, etc. As a test, I would download the Ultimate Guitar Kit soundfont from The Auditorium and run it through the Guitar Rig demo.

The demos was done with a setting on Guitar Rig applied to the clean version. So, a different amp sim setting would create a different sound (how close to the sound you are looking for is a different question).

"Monzter Guitars II" will be released soon. We are going to have a SoundFont version for it with all release samples separated. (Sf2 does not support release samples)

I've mentioned this to a couple people recently - you can add a very short (<100 samples) loop at the beginning of the release sample, and just have the loop quit on note off. Then your release sample plays, and you can use the volume envelope during the note to adjust the volume the release starts at.

Doubles voice usage though...
