I have not tried the OTS 12-string so I can’t weigh in on that. But I can say that the AS 12-string sounds exactly like my fancy Taylor 12-string. Very well done. Once I heard it I didn’t need to try anything else. They both have demo MIDI files you can download and study to see how they work, which I highly recommend.

Here’s a piece in Drop D I wrote way back when I got my first 12-string. The recording came out pretty badly so I used Melodyne to convert it to MIDI and replaced the audio with AS 12-string samples. It took some editing and keyswitches but this version pretty accurately replicates what I play. I actually got to broadcast to an auditorium with over 1000 people to review for a sync opportunity (which I didn’t get) and no one could tell it was a VSTi (as far as I know). This just shows how realistic AS instruments can be. I imagine OTS has the same ability. I just don’t have the same amount of experience using their instruments.

Nice job on the song! I like it.
