Do you dream of adding the live, authentic sound of an acoustic guitar to your tracks, but don’t have the instrument at hand or aren’t a virtuoso guitarist? Meet Spicy Guitar – a free VST/AU plugin that opens the door to the world of incredibly realistic guitar parts right in your DAW!
Spicy Guitar: Acoustic Guitar in Your Computer
Spicy Guitar by Keolab is not just another sampler. It’s an acoustic guitar synthesizer built on innovative physical modeling technology. This means that the sound is not simply reproduced from recordings, but generated in real-time, imitating the physical properties of the guitar – strings, soundboard, resonances. Thanks to this, the sound is extremely rich, natural and alive, with amazing expressiveness, allowing you to convey the smallest nuances of performance.
Features and capabilities
The plugin offers a wide choice for creativity:
- 9 different guitar models: Explore different timbres and sound characteristics, from bright to deep.
- 2 types of strings: Experiment with the difference between, for example, metal and nylon strings to change the atmosphere of the track.
- Physical modeling: Guarantee of natural and dynamic sound.
- Impressive expressiveness: Control the details of performance for maximum realism.
- 5 playing techniques: Discover different ways of playing to bring your guitar part to life.
Simple and intuitive interface
Even if you are not familiar with guitar fingering, Spicy Guitar makes the process of creating guitar parts extremely simple. The plugin has a unique and powerful playing mode that automatically recognizes piano chords played on a MIDI keyboard and instantly converts them into corresponding guitar chords on a virtual fretboard.
Powerful Strumming Engine
The heart of Spicy Guitar for many will be its easy-to-use strumming engine. It allows you to easily create rhythmic guitar patterns:
- Support for many chord types and two positions for each.
- The possibility of chord inversions.
- Imitation of the hand movement up and down (up and down strumming).
- Adjusting the strumming speed to accurately match the track’s tempo.
Advanced control options

- Per-string mode (one MIDI channel per string) for detailed control over each string.
- Assignable switch keys for quick access to different parameters and playing techniques.
- Full MIDI Learn support for easy controller assignment.
