I think JAX could be cool name.

When you say a miced perspective, do you mean for capturing more fret/finger noise? It seems like the mic wouldn't really pick up much; I've never heard of this technique before. It SOUNDS interesting though so tell me more!

Quantum Leap has the one but it's an older library and not too flexible.

Miced perspective adds the acoustic element on the archtop sound which the player certainly hears at the sort of volumes that arch-tops are played at typically - particularly in practice. I have seen people do this live - use an LDC in front of the 12th fret to capture the acoustic sound and then (presumably) blend it with the miced amp. (eg I saw James Sherlock do this in Melbourne this year at the recital center)

Interesting thing about psycho-acoustics is that the first milliseconds of a sound are absolutely critical to our perception of it. Even when playing solid body electric - if the amp/stage volume is not really high - the first thing the player hears is the acoustic sound of the strings being struck which arrives at the ear before the amp sound in normal circumstances. The acoustic sound is tilted towards the treble and has frequencies beyond what a guitar amp will reproduce. If you are listening to amp sims on headphones, this is one of the things that is missing.

egbert: Interesting... I'll discuss it with the guitarist and see what we can do.

BTW, I'm happy to announce that I have a WORKING implementation of poly legato! It's still a little rough but I'm fine-tuning it now. Very exciting!
