“Soft Guitar Chords is a small instrument, sampling one of my favorite guitar voicings, 1/8/3 (or 1/8/10 I guess?) and 1/b7/b3. So it’s more of a harmony/background type guitar.
It ranges from the E string Emaj or Emin7 to the A string hi Amaj or Amin7, so 1 and a bit octaves.

On load up, hit the maj or min7 keyswitch (G1 and A1, respectively) to activate the samples. Use the keyswitches to change between the minor and major chords.
It works best if you hit the keyswitch just a bit before the note you wish to play.

This is my first try at sampling something tuned and really messing around in kontakt. So if I’m doing something the wrong way, please, help me out!!
The releases might be a bit much, but thankfully there’s the releases switch to make them disappear!
