SampleSmith provides soundfonts and other tools to help MIDI guitar tracks sound more realistic.

The core of the SampleSmith offering involves soundfonts designed to render MIDI guitar tracks realistically, with the expression and subtleties of live playing.

Also included in the full version are demo Cubase projects, Midi and audio files, and tutorials on using the product.

The full version is quite large - more 131 megabytes - and manufacturer urges that users first test the more limited free version to make sure that their system will work with the probram.

None of the samples are looped, and some of them run over 3MB for an individual stereo sample. The sample mapping is available in spreadsheet form on the site downloads page.
