El Dorado: Legato Ambient Guitar has been created with the idea of achieving a realistic and expressive legato without compromising its playability in order to make it as inspiring as possible. The library is also accompanied by pads and sustains to immerse yourself in the ambient/post-rock aesthetics:
With the master patch you can play the pads and the legato/sustains at the same time, letting you choose which ranges of the keyboard you want them to sound at. Once you try it there is no turning back, it is ideal for improvising over a scene or for getting new ideas playing freely with both hands.
If you are one of those who likes to have control down to the last detail, don't worry, you also have individual patches that will give you more control with almost the same possibilities as in the Master Patch.
Easy of use, speed and realistic results are the strengths of this library.

With 5 different types of transitions, the legato script adapts to your performance, simulating the real behavior of an electric guitar. So you will have no problem playing both fast and slow lines, pianos or fortes.
Carefully designed to give you as much control as possible with all the options visible so you don't have to search through different submenus.
The user interface offers numerous possibilities when it comes to modifying the sound. It allows you to automatically crossfade between the pads using the motion knob so you can enjoy playing with both hands, you can also crossfade traditionally with the CC1, select different types of filters for the pads, modulate the filters with an LFO, apply different effects, and much more.
El Dorado: Legato Ambient Guitar is the result of the search for a tool that is capable of inspiring you even on bad days. A tool that serves both composers who are dealing with tight deadlines and need to be fast as well as musicians who just want to enjoy improvising on their keyboard.

Although it is not bad, it definitely could use some improvements. At least attack parameter knob for main strings.
Another thing is that even if you turn main legato/sustain volume to zero, You still got the sound out of reverb and delay like You did not turn the "instrument" down. The only way to completely mute it is to turn down the volume on reverb and on delay as well. This is kinda weird - I personally have never seen such type of "routing" anywhere.
"With 5 different types of transitions, the legato script adapts to your performance" - nice idea - sometimes it works for you but sometimes it works against - there should be some way to control and choose which behaviour you want to prefer and have the possibility to experiment with that.
3,8 out of 5.

Clean and bright. Slides are very impressive for me. I like it more than many plugins I know.
But but still needs improvement.
