Thanks and right it's not a strummer per se, but if you program strummed MIDI chords Open Guitar will play it nicely, <grin>

the PDF manual is not ready yet, currently I'm working on the Nylon sound and to improve other things, more MIDI file patterns to bundle with it as well.

I doubt that this is possible because I'm thinking guitar right now.
Can we load samples to specific keys that may be a couple of steps down from the piano tuned key, etc.? In other words, can I load a G note to the A key and so on to create alternate tunings. Also, can I mute strings one and six in order to create four-string guitar and do alternate tunings with that? In other words, I'd like to be able to mimic what I do on the guitar.

Edit: Never mind on the loading of non-standard sampled notes to various keys for alternate tunings. I was thinking too much in the way of fretboard. I can just modify fingerings on keyboard to achieve same results. Sorry for confusion.
No worries, as you say the MIDI keyboard allows you those open chords as well,

you can still load detuned strings but you will have a strange layout on the keyboard.

BTW updates are free until 1.9 of Open Guitar

here is a demo song using Strat and Twelve String sounds from Open Guitar beta,
drums and bass are from Ableton Live
http://dashsignature.com/examples/open_ ... _strat.mp3

still sounds too hard to my ear, I want a softer strumming on the Twelve,

later

also sitar

ok Nylon next

I listened to the funky guitar dance demo again. Cool strumming. Somehow it didn't stick with me that this is a strummer tool, too??
May send pm about it since there's not much activity in topic lately.

Is pdf manual available before purchase?
It is not a strummer, that's probably my fault since I mispoke that earlier... I don't know why, I never thought it was a strummer.

But there's a unique way to score the midi that makes it sound like it's being strummed :)

I really like it and it's actually a bit better than I'd dared hope.
I was playing around with FL's strummer last night. It can get some pretty good results, but for me it takes a lot of trial and error using its knobs. I wish there were more straightforward settings on it. If there are pre-made piano roll strum examples or .mid/.flp examples, that might make it easier for starting points with standard/custom strums.

Hi,

have you tried importing the MIDI files I put in the Open Guitar zip?

Thanks

Post

Yes, thanks for the examples.
How do you go about making strums?

Post

When will pdf manual be ready?
I'd like to find out how you program your midi strums.

Post

Would it be difficult to include capability of loading soundfonts?
I just got a bunch of .sf2 files (notes) that I'd like to load.
Or, is it easy to convert .sf2 to .wav?

Post

Yes, I regularly talk to myself.

Open Guitar sound synthesis is created using single note samples and DSP filters. So it's not a loop player, it's a true instrument which can play any MIDI sequence you want (range D1..C4). MIDI files are included as example of accurate guitar sequencing. The "hammer on" and "pull off" techniques are possible.

1) Steel and Strat sounds ready, Nylon next week.
please check the new mp3s
http://dashsignature.com/examples/open_ ... l_solo.mp3
http://dashsignature.com/examples/open_ ... t_solo.mp3

those are the same midi file, rendered first with Open Guitar Steel + Ableton Reverb
and then with Open Guitar Strat + Ableton EQ Compressor Reverb and Aradaz Amp Sim.
(Rendering Open Guitar is just like recording a real guitar)

2) Base sample loadable per string, you can make mixed guitars!
Each set is only 5 MB, the DLL is 1.8 MB.

3) Reduced CPU usage

4) current GUI Image

Very cool and I like the music too!

I'm definitely going to give this a check!!!!

Thank you!!!!!

Sorry for the delay, I've been away two days,

I can send you the draft before the pdf is ready,

anyway the strums are programmed note by note,
place the chord in the Piano Roll and then shift each note
to create an up or down strum, very important is the velocity as well.

You can see my editing in the MIDI files included.

Yes, please send. Thank you.

When you shift notes to create strum, do you have formula for how much to shift notes left or right?

so far the formula is in my mind, but I 'd really like one day to code a sequencer to allow easy strum programming, the FL Studio tool is something but results are too simple IMHO

Strumming in FL ain't that hard.

Check out bower pallid, it's way down on the bottom left mp3 player

You do have to go in and individually edit the notes of the strum, but with the right VSTi it sounds damned good.

Thanks for replies.
Thanks for sharing tune. Also sounds like Slayer 2 dynamic solo setting?
