"Luna" is a VST instrument developed to emulate acoustic guitars and similar stringed instruments. Unlike physical modeling synthesizers, which generate sound through mathematical algorithms, Luna utilizes sample-based synthesis. This paper explores how Luna navigates the complexities of emulating an organic instrument—specifically the acoustic guitar—within a digital environment, focusing on its ability to translate MIDI data into expressive audio performances.
