About this plugin
Traslasierra Guitars is a comprehensive acoustic guitar instrument built on the Raizes Player engine, centered on three handcrafted instruments recorded in the Traslasierra mountains of Córdoba, Argentina. The library captures a nylon-string classical guitar, a six-string steel guitar, and a twelve-string guitar, each recorded across its full playable range with multiple velocity layers and three distinct microphone perspectives. The sampling preserves the natural character of instruments built by luthier Nicolás Barberis, whose designs feature a distinctive wave-shaped soundboard inspired by dragonfly wing geometry.
The technical approach prioritizes articulation and detail. Recordings include intimate fingered tones, bright attacks, and natural harmonics, allowing the instruments to transition seamlessly between delicate acoustic performances and more textured, layered arrangements. The plugin excels at conveying the subtle imperfections and resonant qualities inherent to handmade instruments, particularly where machine-sampled alternatives often flatten character.

What distinguishes Traslasierra Guitars is its integration of environmental recordings - streams, waterfalls, and field recordings from the workshop's landscape - transformed into playable pads and atmospheric textures. These layers operate independently, enabling producers to extend the guitar sounds into cinematic and ambient territory without sacrificing their acoustic foundation.
The instrument suits composers, songwriters, and sound designers seeking organic acoustic textures with atmospheric depth. Compared to traditional multi-sampled libraries, Traslasierra Guitars prioritizes sonic personality and regional character over comprehensive note-for-note coverage, making it more valuable for compositional and textural work than for strict realism requirements.
