Classic question: some good electric guitar library/instrument for Kontakt?
I'm searching a basic guitar, pre amped (i don't know exacly if it's called like this...), to use as source of guitar rig 5 to create different amped guitars.

Something like "Scarbee - Pre Amped Bass" for Kontakt for guitars, for istance!

Thanks!

 

I think I speak for most of us when I say you need a collection of guitars and bass libraries. No single guitar sample library will cover every style of music and no two Les Paul libraries will sound identical. Your description of "a basic guitar" isn't very clear. Neither have you indicated what style of music you want a guitar for.

 

Vir2 Instruments Electri6ity ....A bit complex (keyswitches/controllers etc) but worth the effort.

 

For bass guitars, MODO is outstanding in my opinion. Easy to play and program and sounds really good.

For guitars, I agree with @Cudo that Electri6ity is probably the most complete guitar library. If you want specific libraries for specific guitars, try Prominy libraries or Orange Tree Samples. If you'd be willing to try VSTi guitars instead of Kontakt, Ample Sound make some really good guitars too.

 

"Scarbee Pre-amped Bass"? Scarbee has an amped version of all their basses and a DI version (not-amped, the version I assume you meant). Electri6ity is probably the best electric guitar Kontakt instrument around, especially as a rhythm guitar, since it can be doubled and has automatic chord/strum detection.

 

I play live guitar (a real guitar + 10 fingers) through Guitar Rig amps/FX, but also play Kontakt bass samples through GR. NI's Rickenbacher library is good, but the stock Konakt Factory Library basses are really playable; the Kontakt amp cabs and sweetening built-in are good for pop/rock; they set well in the mix. The Ample Sound guitars are good; NI's Strummer guitar libraries are killer.

 

I make dance music and usually I need some guitars to create more real breakdowns.
I've seen that in scarbee library there are presets for lot of different genres, I need something similar.
Perhaps Electri6ty is too complex for me...I don't need so many controls ;)
If I need to create a good powercord for example I'd like to start from a rock/pop clean electric guitar and distort it with guitar rig 5 Rock presets for istance..could it work? I don't need a super results, just something good enough, if possibile something not too heavy in size and memory usage ;)
I actually use orange tree 'evolution strawberry' and it's great but I'd like to experiment something new

 

Maybe RealStrat / RealLP ..... not Kontakt, but pretty good.

 

there is nothing good for Kontakt imo, you'll need dedicated stuff,
for bass it's MODO or Ample Sound Bass P (precision) or J (jazzbass),
for electric guitars Musiclab makes best imo - RealEight (I like this one most), RealStrat (stratocaster), RealRick (rickenbacker), RealLPC (les paul custom),
and also worth checking our is UJAM's Virtual Guitarist which can play whole chords&riffs from just keyboard, particularly the IRON (rock, metal) and SPARKLE (telecaster, stratocaster),
finally, also intersting synth is ROLI Equator which is given for free with Seaboard which lets you play truly expressive guitar on silicone keyboard controller ;)

 

Are there sample libraries that have a human-ish randomness to the pitch when played by a keyboard? I need a program to simulate holding a chord and reaching over for a beer; the notes need to go a little sharp.
I noticed recently with Kontakt bass samples, most suck until I played them with MIDIguitar, with a two semitone pitch bend. In fact most samples sound more organic with this human random-pitch added.

 

I'll try out your suggestions.
