I had trouble installing it too. There was no dll file in VstPlugins. I found the reason: The install file paths are case sensitive! The installer tried to install the dll in VSTplugins but the directory is named VstPlugins. solution: check the case of the letters and change them!

Doesn't work. Could be a good plugin if the programming wasn't defective and preventing it from working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times and all I get is an error that reads: "Error codes: InstDir Read Error 7; Loading samples failed. Plug-in will not make sound. Please set instrument path in settings if you have moved samples folder into a new place, etc." I didn't change any settings or move any folders. I know many people have had a similar problem. No other plugin I've used has had this many problems. But this one seems to be a "get what you pay for."
This plugin was not showing up in Logic Pro X for me. I had to do the following to fix: 1- Open Terminal. 2- Type in the following and pressing enter after each: a- cd /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components. b- sudo chown root:wheel AGML2.* c- Enter your admin password. 3- Reboot. 4- Launch Logic Pro X. 5- Open the Plugin Manager and confirm the "Ample Guitar M II Lite". Plugin is listed.
Does it work on Studio One 5 Artist?
It says its installed but won't show up on Logic, am I doing something wrong?

Gorgeous plugin - criminally underrated! Lots of flexibility and does an excellent job of imitating imperfections when playing an actual guitar. Love this plugin!

Have used the free versions, both 32 and 64-bit, in Win 10 for three years. I do not use AGML as a standalone. It works flawlessly as a VSTi in MIDI GUITAR 2 (when I play a Martin Guitar or a Yamaha nylon classical) and as a VSTi for MIDI tracks in PG Music's Realband v2020 (32-bit) and 2022 (64-bit). DSK makes very nice VSTi freeware too, but AGML quality is hard to beat.
I HAVE DOWNLOADED & INSTALLED, ITS ALSO LOADING IN MY LIGIC PRO. BUT THE PROBLEM IS I NEED TO ACTIVATE AND I ALSO DONT HAVE ANY USER ID & PASSWORD, SO PLEASE HELP!!!
Won't load into mixcraft. Anyone using Mixcraft 9 pro ?
Yes, I use Mixcraft 9 Pro and I can't make it work at all. Would be nice if Acoustica or Ample would explain how to do it.

Like some others before, can't install it because it detects that my version of C++ libraries is newer than what it tries to install, and there's no visible way to prevent / fix it. Win 10 pro.
My mistake - haven't read the manual. It is supposed to act like that.
Where is the manual ?

Very good plugin
Is this supported by M1 Macs? And which version?

For what it is, it is decent.
Does it work on logic pro?

Thank you so much very helpfull website
When I downloaded this and used this on FL studio, it sounded like an electric guitar, please help, how do I change it to acoustic?? Thank you. I'm new
The installation doesnt work the visual c++ is too old.
I just installed the 64-bit VST2 on latest Windows 10 - no problem.
You dont need to instal vissual c++ coz its already on your pc but you must to chose all other files - host and also 32 version
GOOD
It doesnt work at all for fl studio 20 won't even go into my daw can't record nothing idk if I'm doing something completely wrong or what but it isnt working
Hey man. It does. I have used it several times. Maybe VST location is messed up or something
I have been using it on FL Studio 20 for a year, and reinstalled today on new computer Win 10. Works great.
Can anyone explain how to make the plug in play a sound. I get error 7.14. I installed the sample library but the error persists and still no sound.
Me too

Where did you find the sample library ?

I'm a guitarist and been playing for 8 years, I was searching for something to make demos before recording, damn, this sounds just like a real guitar, Awesome!
Why isn't this software not working on Cubase 5 and fl studio 12.
Try on cubase 10.5

Got it to load to Win10 and Reaper 5.99 at the second attempt. First time seemed to get hijacked by my Dropbox backup. Spent less than 5 minutes with it so far but it loaded and played my GP7 tab without a problem. Sounds a little stiff but I figure I can get it to ring out better by experimenting with the params. Good stuff!

Now This is quality! I'm still learning to play the actual guitar so this will be really handy in the meantime. ( :

It doesn't work on Mac with Ableton. The folders are on the computer, but don't appear on the DAW. There is no manual to troubleshoot this.
I'm not on a Mac, and have never used Ableton... but isn't there a way to change the VST folders? Most DAWs let you choose where to look for plugins...
(5 / 5)
Really good quality sounds and includes pretty much everything you need.
It also helped learn on my acoustic guitar irl. Absolutely amazing overall for a free plugin.

Have attempted multiple times to download this. Does not show up in my vst folder in cakewalk and sounds do not work.
This program is awesome and it is free. Thanks!

Doesn't show up in macOS Big Sur on Intel chip as well.
I've downloaded mac VST and AU but nothing is showing up on Logic Pro. I have the new M1 version, is that going to be an issue?
(2 / 5)
Looks like the sounds bellow 4th fret of the guitar don't work. If I am not mistaken I have read somewhere the amount of samples given in this version is limited. I didn't know it is so limiting in that kind of sense, Ample Sound should have mentioned this clearly.
You must be doing something wrong - works fine for me!
Nah, I've got the same thing. If you go to the 'edit' window where you can see all the included samples, every sample above the 3rd fret is missing, so most chords in second or third position don't work. I do think it would be really useful to mention that this is a limitation of the demo version to save people the time of trying to figure out why the higher chords dont work.
I've just noticed this too after playing around with the demo version. It took me a while to figure out it was due to missing samples. It would have been nice to know this before I downloaded it.

GRRRRREAAAAAAT!!! I got another one Guitar plugin but this sounds better! Thanks
(4 / 5)
Good
How do I use the VST? I have downloaded others from the past and they come in a file with the .dll file to use in LMMS. this file is an 'installer' and I am confused as where to find the .dll file to use!?
You just cut the file, (right-click and then hit cut) make a plugins file in music, then past the file (ctrl + v)
Can you please explain better?? I'm also experiencing the same issue
Would this work on lmms?
Yes! It's working perfectly fine.

got Mac osx Big Sur... will come up as a program on my desktop and play fine but won't show up in my plug in folder. Any ideas of how to fix? I'm running Ableton live 10 suite
YA GOTTA DROP the AU into the appropriate library.

Sounds really good. Question: how do I upgrade the lite to the full version, in order to unblock the 2nd and 3d chord positions on the Guitar Strummer?
(5 / 5)
Sounds awesome!
Just downloaded this Pluging Win, 32bit and installed it but I can't see the Pluging in my Fl studeo 10. Or it works on higher FL versions?
Open the plugin manager within FL studio, on the left side press "add folder" button(it should be a little folder with a+), select the folder where you installed the VST(or just add all your drives lol), then press "Find Plugins" at the top of the plugin manager, it will then appear on the right hand side in the list of plugins, you can then enable it on there and bam you're done

Very confusing interface. Not gonna waste my time.
Dumbass XDXDXD
Haha if this is confusing I fear what you'd say about a genuinely complex GUI like that of say...Tone 2's Gladiator 2 or u-he's Zebra 2. Everything good has some sort of learning curve.
This is easy to use
The easiest interface I have ever seen in my life.

Best guitar vst out there
Suena bn, una pregunta como corre en Protools. Gracias
Anyone know yet how to be recognized in Logic Pro X?
Same not sure how either
Sorry for the question, but with Reason 10 i've got a problem. So it doesn't work. I load the Bass to check it out and it works fine. What happen? Best regards, Alan
says: error codesL 4; 14; loading samples failed. Plugin won't make sound. Please set instrument path in settings if you have moved sample folders into another place. If you instrument path is correctly set but still have this error, please contact service email. What does this mean?
try 32bit
descargue 32 bits y tengo el mismo problema
Same dude, but i think mine says 7; 14; and same error. Please help!!!
First: find the library. It is most probably located in C:Program FilesAmple SoundAGML Library (if windows). Then click on 'settings' and check if the instrument path is correct. Then try reloading.
If it still fails, move the library to a different location (e.g. another or a new folder in the same environment). Then go to 'settings' and change the instrument path accordingly. Reload. That helped in my case.
Quero baixar indicado por meu amigo que disse ser muto bom

Pretty good
Can i use it in LMMS ? Please reply.
Absolutely. If you are a Windows user, you can find the vst2 plugin in this directory by default: C:Program FilesSteinbergVSTPlugins

Works in reaper, windows 10. I like the sound. Went to their website, very Nice. Too bad the complete plugins are all so expensive.
How do you install it? I've tried downloading and installing in Cubase 10.5 with no luck. Unfortunate for me.
WORKS WELL WITH FL STUDIO BUT I TRIED IT ON LMMS BIG MISTAKE IT TOOK A DAY TO LOAD THE VST BUT I BLAME IT ON LMMS
How did you do it? It won't work with mine :/
The real trick here is to use Waveform Free and not LMMS ;)

Nice sound, but it crashes my ableton live 10 everytime, so no goodie
I was wondering which plugin was doing this, not sure yet is it this one though, sometimes it works. But Ableton 10 started crashing when I use this and Taylor Singles vst
I can't find it on Logic Pro X, why ?
Did it end up working on you Logic Pro X after all. Because I'm planning to download it and don't want to waste my time with it if it doesn't work with Logic Pro X.
any updates? I'm struggling with this too
Also cant get it to work

Hi,is it working in Ableton live 9
(4 / 5)
It takes a fair amount of time to figure out and I had to patiently watch a few videos on YouTube to help me along. Alas, this free version looks like it's limited to playing only four strings when in strum mode, although still good and very useful. Sounds such as muting and finger noise are attenuated via control knobs.
(5 / 5)
This is probably the best string vst I have ever heard.

Excellent sounding acoustic guitar, top vst
Awesome vst, works great, sounds real.
Great VST guys, thanks
(5 / 5)
AMAZING!!
It is really Good. Great VST.
I copied the library file to the application support but I still have the same warning says "Error codes: 7; 14; Loading samples failed. Plug-in will not make sound. Please set instrument path in Settings if you have moved samples folder into another place."
I have the same problem on my Mac, did u get it fixed?
i have same prblm bro
Same problem here. Are there no instructions on how to install this?
Never got this plugin to work, same error.
I found the solution in fl 20, go to your files, search "Samples" one of the archive files will be named "FL STUDIO/ SETTINGS" you need to copy the ample sound files and paste them there. Thats the only thing to do. i hopeit helps you :)
Sorry to Necro but can you show me some pictures on where and how to exactly do that

Sounds great, the best free guitar bst there is. And it's not just a demo, i've been using it half a year now. Working fine.
(5 / 5)
Great sounds, good functionality, and the closest you're going to get to the real thing without learning how to play guitar yourself. Hell, it's probably better than a lot of guitar players anyway. ;)
Ignore the negative comments, this plugin works great! If you can't get it to work, try this article from Steinberg, the guys that invented the VST format: https://helpcenter.steinberg.de/hc/en-us/articles/115000177084-VST-plug-in-locations-on-Windows

Best free guitar VST in my opinion, overall sound good, it's realistic sounding and it's just very good! Totally recommend over some other PAID Vst's i've used

I love it... You have brought honor to the great music hall in the sky. My brother even liked it. You sir have earned from my team, a five star rating.
Non-realistic sound in out. Every string playing as single. Full version had this problem too. Try to listening demo carefully

Very nice guitar.....
Hello? the installer made me install a bunch of visual basic apps. Is it required?
(4 / 5)
It sounds great for what it is! But, how can I change it so that I can play multiple strings without certain ones cancelling others out? That would make my day.
Choose the Keyboard Mode.

Très réel.... j'aime!
If you're having problems loading the plugin in Fl Studio just search for the corresponing .DLL file and paste it in plugin folder or vst folder.
ну такое
(4 / 5)
It's an application to install, not a vst libary, more likely with some horse on wheels
It is a VST, but there's also loads of samples that it needs to unpack, which is what the installer is for. It'll ask you where you want to put the VST files during installation.
I cant figure out how to put it into FL can someone help
Me neither
Copy the file in new folder, search in fl studio file settings for your folder, refresh plugins, check agml 2

Pretty poor. When running from inside the DAW, it has an annoying and intrusive pick sound when strumming that can't be properly reduced. Furthermore, the strumming sound is far too aggressive; it doesn't appear to be able to produce a more soft and delicate sound. Okay for single notes though. The download from the manufacturer's website had a trojan in it too that disabled by computer, so I had to do a system restore and deleted the Ample Sound plugin anyway, because it was so bad.
If the pick attack sounds too harsh, turn down the note velocity. Full-velocity notes are meant to trigger a "pop" sound, but you can get some really nice, smooth sounds by dialing it back a bit.
Really great. I´ve writting tango arrangements and it sounds perfect!!

Really great plugin, a must have! I'll be using this in everything I have a guitar in!

I use this in conjuction with Finale 2014. With this, i dont need to look any further for a realistic, acoustic guitar sound. Comes with little FX pedals as well. My life has become instantly better

Hey guys I know it can be very hard to find quality free guitar vst but this is the most authentic and smooth FREE acoustic guitar ive downloaded. I make rnb music so this acoustic in studio style is perfect for me. I though DSK Authentic Guitars was the best guitar vst until i got this (DSK Authentic is still an AMAZING plug in) PLEASE DOWNLOAD while this is still up and free. The best out there.

At first it was a bit complex to install, but when I opened it I really loved the sound of this VST. I am really happy with this plugin.
This VST sounds amazing in every way, from the video demo. However, no software has had to be concerned about your current version of MS++ Visual, etc, since WinXP and Win98, so this must be a VERY old version of the plugin. I would love to download it and use it, as I can use Mildon Strummer VST for the strumming engine. However, that "your version of MS+Visual (or whatever it is" issue is a deal breaker. If they fix this problem, please post a comment to let us know.
I really like this Plugin, because it's very different from another Plugin that I ever have. Congratulation for the Personal who make this Plugin.
Eu sinceramente gostei muito do timbre deste multe instrumento, muito feraaaaa.
(5 / 5)
Valeu por disponibilizar estava mesmo querendo um desses pra montar meus videos obrigado .
Guys just make little costumize at setting. Its wonderful accoustic guitar
I can't seem to get this plugin to register notes above the 5th fret.
I think that's because it's the free version. If you want the full fretboard, you need to pay.

Cool for the melody
(5 / 5)
I got the error installing the Visual C++ redistributable as well, but it does not stop the completion of the main installation. Not only does this sound great and have a bit of a brain to do hammer-ons and pull-offs on its own, IT DOESN'T CRASH CUBASE like some of the others tend to do
I have that too, and i have fixed the problem by deleting all the Visual C++'s and then re-installed it again, but in need to instal it again because Abelton would not open the vst plugin...
(5 / 5)
EPIC !!!!! ..love it :P
It doesn't work and the explanation is that I have a newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable in my computer. What the fuck and why does it even matter?
The error is for MSVC++, which is a separate installer; it gives an error because you have a newer version, but the MAIN installer is already done and should work (atleast that's how it went for me)
This is awesome! Nobel for makers of this simulator of guitar!
I love it!

Very nice acoustic guitar sound. The strumming patterns and all the editing you can do there is very useful and funny. Also, it has the keyboard keys adjusted to the guitar notes, which saves you from inserting them in a range that is not actually covered by a guitar (a problem that I usually have when I make guitar tracks by myself). If you are loking for a simple and decent acoustic guitar sound, I recommend it.

Excellent acoustic guitar plugin. Very useful as is, though it does make me want the full version. Works good with keyboard and with a midi guitar (though string to string midi mapping would improve it}. I like Spicy Guitar but this is better!
