Description

Unleash your creativity with Steinberg Tales, a remarkable virtual instrument designed for the modern composer. This plugin breathes life into your compositions, offering a beautifully sampled nylon-strung concert guitar that transcends the ordinary. Each string is meticulously tuned and sampled in an open tuning format, giving you a long, resonant sound that captures the warmth and intimacy of a live performance. Steinberg Tales allows you to blend the expressive articulations of soft, hard, mute, and harmonics with a diverse array of textures, making musical storytelling not just intuitive, but genuinely fun.

Whether you’re scoring a film or composing an epic ballad, the main interface offers seamless control over the balance between guitar and texture, with options to adjust the distance mix, treble contour, and sound variation. The guitar page is your playground, offering parameters to shape compression, saturation, and reverb, while the texture page lets you explore with 66 presets and mod wheel assignments. Elevate your compositions with the effects page, featuring delay and reverb that syncs seamlessly to your host tempo.
