Hoard Fingerstyle

Hoard Fingerstyle is a warm, intimate fingerstyle acoustic guitar.

Between the brush of the finger and rounded pluck, so much personality and vibe is imparted when playing the guitar with your fingers instead of a pick. So once again, we brought in our favorite guitarist, Jason Hoard to provide performances focused on the softer side of things.

Our "Sustains Hammer Pull" instrument incorporates new scripting that allows you to play legato hammer-ons and pull-offs within a polyphonic sustains patch. It's a dream to play and we constantly get lost improvising with it. We've also included sustain pedal support that allows you to play successive notes without polyphony build-up while retaining it's legato capabilities.

The Master Legato patch incorporates multiple legato articulations: Natural legato, slide to pluck (with CC slide speed control), hammer-on/pull-off, and slide without plucking – all seamlessly switchable via velocity control.

We also recorded tempo-synced, 1/4 & 1/8th note loops at five tempos: 80, 100, 120, 140 & 160; great for creating fingerstyle patterns, rhythmic beds and strums.

For added versatility, we've thoughtfully included tuned and doubler versions of the patches to cater to your double-tracking requirements.
