CutterMusic have released version 1.0 of Revitar, a VSTi guitar synthesizer for Windows.

Revitar is capable of producing a wide range of guitar sounds from acoustic to slap bass. Revitar employs unique string simulation software to model the position, velocity and momentum of 120 points along each guitar string 44,100 times a second. This string simulation is capable of modeling sympathetic resonance, slap effects, pluck position and vibrato along with many others. All of this is done without the use of sound samples, so no two notes sound exactly alike.

For ease of use, a chord section is included so that entire chords can be played with a single keystroke. Seven types of chords may be chosen from, along with the rate and direction from which to strum the chord. For solos, a mono switch can also be used to play all notes on the same string.

Up to four strings can be simulated at one time.

• Complete MIDI control.
• Controls for bass, treble and sympathetic resonance.
• Control note duration with two types of damping: bridge and string.
• Vibrato.
• Adjust the position of plucking and pick up.
• Change the height of the frets.
• Automatically play 7 types of chords.
• 4 note polyphonic.

Revitar 1.0 costs $49.00 and a demo version is available from CutterMusic.
