Ample Guitar M Lite II is a beautiful sampled plugin of the Martin D-41 Acoustic Guitar.
We’ve had a lot of problems with acoustic guitar plugins in the past, with most plugins sounding robotic and overly sequenced.
This plugin works to combat that issue with extremely customized guitar playing programming so as to model a real-world guitar being played. The Tab Player sometimes even automatically adds some refining articulations when it thinks it is appropriate, such as slapping on strings or body, or other realistic and indispensable noises.
Look, you are never going to get a guitar virtual instrument and have it sound exactly like a real acoustic guitar, but this free VST plugin is multiple steps closer than the rest.
