An acoustic guitar toolkit with a signature sound
Signatures is a definitive acoustic guitar toolkit with a human touch, full of character and sonic depth. At the heart of this sample library are three distinctive acoustic guitars, beautifully captured in microscopic detail and offering a range of classic and signature playing styles, from delicate to punchy, including pulled, plucked, muted and thumbed one-shots, pristine harmonics and more.
These emotive sounds are complemented by a range of guitar-based percussive tempo-synced loops and hits, soothing vocals, and contemplative pads. Made in collaboration and performed by producer, composer and songwriter Fin Greenall, aka Fink, this toolkit has been carefully curated to inspire both composers and songwriters, guitarists and non-guitarists alike — an instantly playable collection that lends itself to a range of compositions, from intimate indie scores to acoustic pop tracks, and beyond.

Signature sounds
Signatures features a range of core and extended techniques from the heart and mind of Fink, captured on three of his favourite ‘signature’ acoustic guitars, each with their own distinctive tone. Affectionately named ‘Brady’, a 2004 Mal Brady Bouchier nylon with a rich, mellow sound, ‘Festy’, a 2010 Martin D28 steel-string acoustic with a pop sound, his workhorse festival and touring guitar, and ‘Orwell’, a gentle 1984 Martin D35 steel-string acoustic, which features most prominently on his recent records. Fink’s signature techniques within each guitar section include tempo-synced arpeggios in DADGAD, pulled, plucked, muted and thumbed one-shot notes, three variations of harmonics, two-finger chords, ready-made strumming patterns and more. All guitars are presented in Spitfire Audio’s easy-to-use plugin, with fluid playability.
Each guitar’s imperfections are what make them so special....its wrinkles are battle scars, its tracks are trophies, and its rattles are its dialogue with the past.
