The Wavelore Pedal Steel Guitar is a pedal steel library that is fully playable in realtime. Instead of relying on pre-recorded licks and loops, the Wavelore Pedal Steel Guitar uses single-note samples fused with GVI's powerful filters and modelling tools to put all ten bendable strings of E9th tuning right under your fingers. Programmed with 8-way round-robin samples per note (Lite Edition contains 2), the full version of the Wavelore pedal steel is rounded out with a number of GigaPulse amp models, full neck position control, open (natural) harmonics, and "chordal mode", for long slides ala The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show (fast) or Pink Floyd's "Breathe"(slow).

The Wavelore Pedal Steel Guitar is available in two versions:

The Full Edition comes with 8-way round-robin samples for every note recorded, including the same number for each of the two included release sample variations (that's 24 samples per note), as well as 18 amp simulation presets, created from three different amplifiers, and open (natural) harmonics at the 5th, 7th, and 12th frets above every string in 4-way round-robin. Its total size on disk is 2.7 Gigabytes.

The Lite Edition includes 2-way round-robin, 6 amp sim presets, and no harmonics. Its total size is about 700 Megabytes.

Both instruments are highly playable, containing the same innovative programming techniques to allow full realtime control over expressive factors like dynamics, neck position, chord voicing, bend direction/speed, bend type, and vibrato.
