Not sure if it was the best idea to call one’s company ‘Sketch Samples’ as it sort of suggests a low-level range of product that is only good for preliminary and superficial noodling work, to be replaced with better product from some other developer as soon as things get a bit more serious.
The thing is, what Sketch Samples have released so far is, in my view, much better than what the self-effacing ‘sketch’ notion might suggest. Not the final word in guitar sampling of course, certainly not, but still: good-sounding, versatile and surprisingly powerful (acoustic) guitar emulations. Their maiden release, the Sketch Nylon, while lacking the technical sophistication of, say, an Efimov or an AmpleSounds virtual guitar, is a remarkably capable little library (and very intuitive to play), and what I’ve heard thus far from their newest release, the gypsy-flavoured D-Hole Guitar, sounds quite good too, I must say.
Very affordable as well. The D-Hole sells for an introductory $49, the Nylon is set at the regular price of $59.
