Session Guitarist Strummed | Acoustic 2 Kontakt Library

Native Instruments' Session Guitarist – Strummed Acoustic 2 Go to product viewer dialog for this item.

• Strum Speed: Controls how fast the pick travels across the strings. Slow speeds sound lazy and groovy; fast speeds sound aggressive.
• Noise Level: Adds finger squeaks, pick scratches, and breathing from the session player. At 100%, it sounds like a lo-fi folk record. At 0%, it sounds sterile—perfect for pop.
• Strum Division: Force the pattern to play swung, straight, or even "laid back."

Chord Recognition

• The "Smart Chord" feature recognizes standard piano voicings and translates them into plausible guitar chords.
• Guitar Voicing: Guitars have physical limitations; the engine automatically arranges the notes you play to fit a guitar’s range and tuning (Open chords vs. Barre chords).
• Fret Hand Position: You can adjust the position of the chord on the neck to control timbre (lower frets sound deeper; higher frets sound tighter).

Separate Bass Patterns: Enables users to play custom bass lines or create "slash chords" (e.g., C/E) by controlling the lower strings independently on the 6-string model. session guitarist strummed acoustic 2 kontakt library

160+ Rhythmic Patterns: An extensive library of patterns organized into "songs," covering genres like rock, folk, country, Latin, and pop. Strum Speed: Controls how fast the pick travels

Step 2: Automating Patterns

Use the Mod Wheel (CC1) to control intensity. Assign a slider to change patterns via Program Change (PC) commands. This allows you to have a verse pattern (Pattern 12: Soft fingerstyle) and a chorus pattern (Pattern 89: Heavy open strums) without touching the UI.
