This sounds pretty good to my ears. Lots and lots of articulations but the multi-instrument aspect is a little confusing (they all seem to use the same MIDI channel). Still,

• The Ponticello is sampled (not modelled) and sounds very good.
• They only sampled the notes available when the left hand is on frets 0, 5 and 9 – but they DO go from a low D to the B that’s way up there (so full range). I was a little put off by the limited # of samples but I think ALL the notes across the whole fretboard are there except for the lowest strings up high on the fretboard, which I rarely use anyway. So, OK.
• They have lots of slide/legato options.
• They have lots of finger/nail techniques not available elsewhere.

I think I’m convincing myself to get it. Right now my go to classical guitar is Amplesound. If I need a 2nd I’ll use either Indigius’ or Ilya Efimov’s. OT’s Modern Nylon sounds too metallic to me, but I have yet to audition their brand new Honey Nylon.
