Orange Tree Samples has released Evolution Modern Nylon, an acoustic nylon string guitar sample library powered by Native Instruments' Kontakt Player.
Evolution Modern Nylon's tone is designed to work with classical guitar as well as pop/rock guitar tracks. By moving the pick position closer to the bridge and employing the guitar body percussion hits included, a user can also achieve convincing flamenco guitar parts, too.
The library was developed in collaboration with Rosewood Recording Company in Utah. Guy Randle, the owner and recording engineer at Rosewood Recording Company, incorporates analog audio equipment to sculpt and emphasize tonal qualities of the nylon guitar.
For the sampling session, he brought guitarist Michael Dowdle. Michael Dowdle's session guitar work includes recording for artists such as Marie Osmond, The Osmond Brothers, John Schneider, David Archuleta, and The Jets as well performing on numerous movie and TV scores. He has also played on stage with artists like Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, The Coasters, Sam Cardon, and countless others. Michael's extensive and diverse work has earned him the reputation of being able to play a wide variety of styles authentically, from elegant classical guitar work to gritty blues riffs. This versatility was invaluable in the creation of these guitar samples for many styles of nylon guitar playing.
