I’ve been torn between Strummed 2 and Picked throughout the NI sale; this review was both infinitely more helpful and easier to watch/listen to than the other walkthroughs/demos I’ve seen. Really appreciate it, my mind’s made up!

[@netuno_music]

The best channel on KZbin for this kind of libraries. Your videos about ample sound are the best without any doubt, and now this... thanks a lot

[@jimrogers7425]

Thanks for this video. I just got Picked Acoustic yesterday and have already been enjoying the ease of use. Your explanation at the end of emulating playing the guitar was very helpful for this non-keyboard player.

[@coloaten6682]

Very good review. Glad you mentioned the important aspect of playing it like a guitar and not a keyboard because that makes a huge difference to how realistic it sounds. I'll definitely be buying this vst :)

[@DavidSmith-ne1zp]

A perfect review and tutorial. I have to say that your playing technique is so smooth, and I believe it adds greatly to the realism of the performance. In my non-keyboard player hands, I think results may not be so satisfying. That said, this plugin is now on my wish list.

[@salthedrummer1]

Sal Rodriguez man that was the best tutorial I've seen on the Session Guitar. I'm buying the Komplete Kontrol Midi Keyboard 61 with the 13 Standard software. I'm convinced. You're awesome, nice playing too. Hope I get as good as you..God Bless you...

[@JuanDonBeatsZA]

Thanx man , this is an excellent review :) Really Well Done ⭐

[@RU-HDD-4-HVN]

This vst has a very intimate quality to it..... yes indeed. Thanks Reuben......

[@PeterDaltrey]

Came back for a second look. It`s a good tutorial, but..... You are a very accomplished player. I would suggest that the majority of people who will buy this are like me, unable to play the guitar. And, like me, not good musicians. Period. But we are songwriters and with the help of modern music tech can record their work to a fairly high standard. I need a guitar player for almost all of my compositions. Programs like this will be a great help. I`d like to see you make another video of this programme concentrating on the patterns. Your melody playing was beautiful but far beyond many of us. And I suspect you are also an accomplished guitarist. This program is not made for guitarists particularly. I need this program, but I first need to get a good overview of the patterns available....hoping they are not too limited with too many Latin or Bosa Nova etc....!! Many thanks for your otherwise very clear and concise tutorials.

[@robertruff8050]

Solid video review of this product especially the information on cost and whether it is included in 13 Ultimate. That's good to know for those who may not be interesting in doing a full upgrade but just wants to add another sweet instrument the NI Library. Good information in this video HIFIMIDI.

[@DaniloJr]

I REALLY enjoyed it! Thanks for all the tips!

[@roberthunter124]

super helpful - lovely use of time in reviewing this sound set - thanks!

This sounds really good...very surprised. Good Demo thanks!!

[@nickoricko4564]

"But who wants mono?" Spit up my tea a little bit! Thanks for the laugh!

[@danieldavieschannel]

Thank you so much for the great video. Nice playing. I wish this plug in had an open tuning mode.

Great review. Just ordered and waiting for my new laptop. 👍🏻

Hola Amigo, Your reviews are so Professional. Good job!

[@curlykeys8261]

Beautiful playing !! :))

[@ryanbo4045]

Sound Great. How come nobody shows how put these patterns in the DAW? Is there a drag drop button option?

[@edgarricardoariascastillo8940]

Hi brother, thanks for the video. I don’t know how to record the guitars on pro tools using Konkat. Would you be so kind in making a video about it. Or any explanation. Thank you in advance! 😊

[@maestropatron]

Ruben, please do a review using key switches in DAW. How you do hammer on, pull offs and slides to make it sound realistic.

[@KaiWenFranklin]

Hi and thanks for the video. I have a question for you. When you play the "PATTERN" are you actually playing the chords in red or are you playing the E1, F1, F# and G1 or playing your own chord progressions? Looking at you video it looks as if you are playing for own chords.

[@TheMusicWiz]

Informative review and nice playing :)

[@rubensturibio8766]

Very good review, make another one showing how to edit on the DAW and add details 👍

[@hifimidi]

Great idea. I've been thinking about avoiding live reviews and only using livestream for showing long videos of me doing programming.

[@rubensturibio8766]

@@hifimidi Why don't you make a full music edition on livestream? Leave features and tips you show on reviews, specially this Picked Acoustic, it is a fantastic tool.

[@Luch0musica]

HIFIMIDI hi amigo, what would you prefer? Amplesound AGT or this one?

[@dezinerAhmad]

Thanks for the review.....

thank you for this you helped me a lot.

[@virtualboi1585]

Excellent review!

[@krazetv]

Great Demo!

[@DigitizedLife]

Why did you not use Komplete Kontrol with the plugin? It comes with the keyboard you are using. Komplete Kontrol would give you the light guide to aid in seeing the key switches and such.

[@hifimidi]

I almost never use it. I will next time.

[@issiewizzie]

God bless you my brother thanks for doing this video……

Great video!! Great VSTi.. Didn't have it a demo version??

[@Amada-t9m]

why my pick acoustic not having melody only having pattern and auto chords.. can you plzzzz help me ,??

[@javierpenya]

Thanks, great video. And great sound. It is a pitty for me not knowing hoe to play piano to do these esplendid manual arpeggios yo do.

[@hifimidi]

The program does a better job at it than me. So you just have to play a chord. Thank you for the kind words.

[@athishayjain.m.k9257]

tq soo much.. ur reviews are soo nice and focused tq

[@SuperGuitarDude7]

So, it looks like there are around 34 songs and maybe around 170 patterns? But that includes strums? It also looks like you have to hold a chord down to play a pattern through? I'm asking because I've seen others where you can assign chords and chord types to keys and just hold down a C note for example and it can play a C chord or C7, etc. Makes it much easier for people not good on the keyboard to use. My main reason for getting something like this is so I could easily push a key and have it play fingerpicking patterns that I can that put in my DAW and use in songs.

[@danieldavieschannel]

Hi, Great videos by the way. I just picked up this library. How to you add a pattern to a daw? Doesn't seem to be a drag and drop thing. Thanks so much.

[@cdmule6714]

So there is a setting that lets you play your own pattern like you were doing in the beginning ? What is that setting?

[@DeoMasterProduction]

Yeah i do use it .. it's pretty cool .. it sounds more realistic when you play it tough😅

[@alanturner3551]

Great video and very informative. There is one thing I cannot figure out? How the heck do you turn off the slide feature? I do NOT want to use slides when I'm playing notes, but every time I touch a key, I get a slide. Help! How do I turn this off? I've tried everything I can think of.

[@truthmanifestingtruth]

Dial down the fret noise knob.

[@aldonieto703]

I HAVE ISSUES WHILE PLAYING CHORDS, I MEAN IF I PLAY THE ONES FROM THE RIGHT AN (E, F OR G). IT AUTO SELECT THE PATTERN AND I DONT WANT A PATTERN... I WANT THE PLAY THE CHORDS BY MY OWN. IT WILL ONLY HAPPEN IF I PLAY ANY OF THE CHORDS FORM THE RIGHT, HOW CAN I DISABLE THAT?

[@abolit]

the VST sounds good but the pattern library is extremely limited and you can't create a custom pattern either. IMHO that info should have been mentioned in the review

[@hifimidi]

I made four takes and forgot to include that! You can shift around the starting point of a pattern to create variation. You can even splice together patterns after you’ve bounced the track. It’s not a feature, but a tip.

[@abolit]

@@Konsider I tried this plugin and I know what I'm talking about. HIFIMIDI basically said the same thing using different words. And please refrain from harsh words. thanks

[@Shivanakreyi]

HI friend, how can i change the tone to also play with oriental/arabic songs? Thank you.

[@MrVenomDon]

Can you get midi notes out of the pattern loops played so you could apply it to another instrument in your daw?

[@PeterDaltrey]

Does it need the full Kontact player...?

[@k-pop-vibee]

Hello, could someone tell me how to release this sample? I wait an answer

[@MrJpbmusic2005]

I was sold on "Ample sound's Luther guitar ... Now you thrown a curve ball with this! Lovely plugin can't decide

[@hifimidi]

Ample’s luthier is still one of the best-certainly the best classical guitar VSTi I’ve played.

[@MrJpbmusic2005]

@@ettiennelane9173 "Strum Acustic" would be a good along with this but Ample you can do.much more I think the sound on this is more natural and realistic

[@eylam9690]

Does the melody mode work like other VST guitars such as, for instance, Ilya Efimov, whereby you cannot play two notes at the same time unless it would be physically possible on a guitar, or does it just play like a keyboard in that you can play 6 or more notes all at the same time?

[@hifimidi]

It does not follow the rules of a guitar. It plays more like a keyboard.

[@MahmoudNader]

@@hifimidi unless you switch it from poly to mono, you get it to play like a guitar

[@Brohnzi]

should I get picked acoustic over the strummed acoustic library? I only plan on buying one so which one would you choose?

[@hifimidi]

Picked Acoustic. You get pick and finger sound and it's playable on your keyboard.

[@mrmaison4924]

Thank you, Great review! Can the key switches be adjusted for those like me using 49 key controllers?

[@truthmanifestingtruth]

The total active keys are a little over 50. So your going to lose a couple of active midi notes either way you octave shift. It’s best to have all the keys from the bottom up and miss the few at the top and just draw them in your daw when needed. Otherwise, add a cheap 25 midi board to cover those keys. Pawn shops or amazon should be able to help you there. Don’t worry though. If you own an iPad, they can be connected as an additional midi controller.

[@ianmclean5541]

If I have an existing guitar midi track, can I use the sounds from this program to make it sound better than my existing DAW sounds?

How long has this plug in been out? Never heard it before. Gotta get it! Much Thanks! Dave.

[@hifimidi]

For at least a year, I think, but I didn't get around to buying it until recently.

[@pratikjoshi8335]

Can we play individual note with midi controller instead the pattern? I really appreciate your feedback

[@MrBellerose]

Yes

[@khachohakobyan]

How to install in Cubase or Cakewalk please?

[@dissonantpulse]

how can I play single notes. I always play like a default pattern. When I play C1 for example I have a melody pattern not a single note.

[@Qbit.Plicherss]

you have to be in Melody mode

I can't make a minor pattern: pressing the / c key gives a major chord: / how can I make a minor
