The instrument

A small guitar with a big voice.

We started with a pristine 1973 Martin 00-21 - a small-bodied acoustic with a clear, focused character and a natural feel for fingerpicking and melodic playing. We recorded it through three carefully chosen stereo microphone setups, capturing everything from a clean, modern sound to rich and warm vintage tones.

The virtual instrument

Picked, strummed and ready to play.

We turned those recordings into an instrument that brings real studio performances into your hands. Picking patterns, arpeggios and strumming variations form the foundation, while a dedicated melody instrument lets you add your own lines - with detailed articulations and playing techniques keeping every performance expressive and natural.
