Hi everyone,

The new Poetic Guitar - Landscape product looks and sounds really great!

I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how many velocity layers each of the articulations has. (I read that the product has 'up to' 12 velocity layers, but I assume that different articulations may have different number of layers.)

Thank you.

Yes.
In often-used range and velocity, sampling density will be increased, otherwise reduced. In this way, our rhombic sampling design ensures that the system resources (RAM, HDD, CPU occupation rate) are most effectively used.

Thanks for the prompt feedback.

Could you perhaps give me more details about how many velocity layers each articulation (and different pitch ranges within each articulation) has?

Also, do the finger, nail and pick instruments have the same number of velocity layers? (In other words, have all three instruments been sampled to the same level of detail?)

For the Standard 1 articulation, which velocity range has the highest sampling density: soft, medium or loud?

Hi I'm Kane glad to meet you.

>>Could you perhaps give me more details about how many velocity layers each articulation
Thanks for your appreciation, this question is very complicated... e.g. D2-G#3 have 12 samples, E1-C#2 and A3-C4 have 6 samples etc in S1.
BTW:
1. every articulation both are real samples, no 'pitch virtual'. e.g. even D1 and D#1, the lowest pitch of guitar is E1, we turned pitch of 6 string 0 fret from E1 to D1 and D#1, then recorded it.

2. every sample is kept the natural sustain and release, e.g. each samples of D1 are about 22 seconds, each samples of E1 are about 20 seconds, 100% natural.

3. Perhaps you knew the samples of many guitar VST are process by EQ compression\ limit\ noise reduction etc. especially Limit\maximize, but we have wholly different idea - no any process, let our sample to keep natrual, whole, and 'green'.

Wish this is help for you could understand Poetic Guitar's characteristic.

Also, do the finger, nail and pick instruments have the same number of velocity layers? (In other words, have all three instruments been sampled to the same level of detail?)
Yes, they are the same exact design.

>>For the Standard 1 articulation, which velocity range has the highest sampling density: soft, medium or loud?
Medium, because PGL more is used for the accompaniment.

Also, Because people could use 4 fingers to play guitar but pick just can do 'up' or 'down', so the naturalness of Finger and Nails are far better than pick. my favorite is Finger Smile
