Total sample count is 6010 PATCHES: Guitar Swell contains 24 "Ambient Swell" patches and 12 "Player" patches. ABOUT THE UPDATE - MARCH 2022 - This update fixes a user interface issue where instrument menu arrows would not work. Clicking a menu arrow would display the entire menu instead of loading the next or previous instrument. - This issue arose due to a change Native Instruments made with how graphics are handled in versions of Kontakt 6.3 and higher. - It also fixes the "Auto Pick" Random "Order" setting. Previously, selecting "Random" produced no effect. Requirements SOFTWARE: Guitar Swell runs in Kontakt or the free Kontakt Player v6.3 or higher (requires a minimum of Windows 7 or Mac OS 10.12). COMPUTER: Because Guitar Swell is capable of using many effects at once, we recommend users have a current and powerful computer for the best experience.
