About this plugin
Ample Sound's Ample Guitar M brings a meticulously sampled Martin D-41 into the digital audio workstation with the sonic character that has made this instrument a studio standard: a warm, articulate voice with pronounced midrange presence and natural sustain. The D-41's reputation for projection translates effectively to virtual form, maintaining clarity in dense mixes while retaining the harmonic complexity expected from a premium acoustic guitar.
The instrument segregates its 3,000+ samples across three playing techniques - fingerpicking, pick-struck, and strumming - with each library capturing the nuanced tonal variations that emerge from different attack characteristics. This separation allows producers to craft performances with genuine textural variety rather than relying on synthesis or shallow sample manipulation.

What distinguishes Ample Guitar M from competing acoustic plugins is its integration with Riffer 4, a MIDI editor purpose-built for stringed instruments. The dual Piano Roll and Guitar Tab views acknowledge that different users think in different notation systems, while the string visualization system enforces authentic voicing by preventing unplayable polyphony. The "Strum Note" system treats chords as single editable objects, enabling unified control over timing, velocity gradient, and legato - a workflow that acknowledges how guitarists actually execute voicings rather than treating them as collections of individual notes.
The capo logic, legato modes, and fingering assignments feel refined rather than gimmicky. For composers scoring cinematic work, folk-oriented producers, or anyone requiring acoustic guitars that respond to intentional MIDI composition without excessive manual adjustment, Ample Guitar M represents a solid choice among premium virtual acoustics.
