Just out of interest - is it possible to use an impulse response to recreate body resonance?

BTW: Violin "synth-secrets"...

Nice one, hakey! Impressive.

Indeed

thanks

tbh - the midi clip I used is >50% of the illusion.

Here's the patch.

Wow. That is great work hakey! Amazing fingering and buzzing sounds! The midi clip must be providing the fingering.

A lot of people mistake my playing for real guitar (not that you would), and it's not just the electric stuff but the acoustic. When I use sampled nylon string guitars for example, I don't even use key switches (too complicated, besides that's cheating! ), but there's a lot of guitar playing technique, strumming, legato playing, dynamic style, etc., that you can play into a midi file. That stuff is more important than the sound imo. You can even play a quite different sound using guitar techniques and it will often still sound "like a guitar." It's interesting how the mind is so intimately involved in the perception of the sound.

Thanks - like I say, a lot of it is down to the midi file I used (that kind of guitar articulation is very difficult to fake with a keyboard, as I'm sure you know).

.... and it looks to me like it was recorded live. How the tremolo bits - the rapid, repeated notes (on a guitar it's the same string plucked with three fingers, one after the other, so that the plucks all run together) - were achieved is anyone's guess.

Again, this is gorgeous!

Seems it is.

Here's an acoustic guitar IR:

It does add some guitar body flavour when used as a convolution IR.

hakey! Your Diva's guitar is damn great! So warm!

Here is my Zebra attempt of bright acoustic guitar. It still need much tweaking (especially keytracking and velocity-tracking behaviour).

Two versions:

1. My own crude body-emulation attempt (using comb end eq). I'll definetely redo it with new information from aforementioned papers.

2. with gtrbody impulse response.

In comparison to real body impulse response, my body sounds more "eastern"

Edit: added alternative short names for easier use.

Nice patches trance-lucent!

Sounds rather zitherish - in a good way - but that's probably got as much to do with the playing style.

There's some great midis with guitar articulation here:

"Orfeo Negro" is a good un.

@hakey & Trance Lucent:

both soundfiles are amazing (both sounds & playing/music)

Do you use a midi-guitar or is this played on a keyboard?

No, I cheated... I used a midi file for my clip (link in my last post).

I bet a MIDI guitar controller figured heavily in creating those sequences.
