I admit, I'll have to give credit for this one. Truly fast! Something I never thought a sample-based virtual guitar could ever achieve.

I thought sample-based virtual guitar would suck, but boy was I wrong!!!

CoreGuitar Strawberry proved it was possible for a sample-based virtual guitar to sound very realistic, and now Electri6ity proves it too!

Hi dynamitec,

will this be available in Germany / Europe via Best Service, or is it possible to directly order it from the US (customs might be a problem?)...?

It sounds *very* interesting indeed...

Best,
TQ

Hi,

Could it be possible to post a tutorial or MIDI file used for the "Power Metal" demo ?

I would see how you program "fx" like what happens at 0:19.

Sounds like a guitar trying to imitate a horse

Woah there Paul. I'm not sure I'm happy with your online name!

One infinite loop coming up...

Hi K-Slash,

take a look at the YouTube video. It almost shows all MIDI events in the piano roll (watch it in 720p). The FX are very easy to do. We've got a forced keyswitch for that. As long as you press this keyswitch the whole keyboard range allows you to trigger various FX (scrapes, whammy-bar FX, etc.).

Cheers,
Benjamin

I'm very impressed with the demo audio/video for this plug-in. But how well does it do when played even faster? I'm looking for something that can handle seriously fast speed/thrash metal riffs. Has anyone heard this thing at like 180bpms?

(sorry, bad pun).

As guitarist I must say that this sounds good so I will not tearing your opinion to shreds. I save that for another time mate.

I hope you'll like them!

damn!!!! I may have to revise my long held opinion that it's impossible to do realistic distorted guitar samples!

Why? To me it still sounds like a keyboard sound running through a distortion pedal, a keyboard on a violin patch through a distortion to be exact (same as all other electric guitar emulations). Especially fast "picked" notes seem to give it away... they have a strange tick tack tick tack to them (which I'm guessing is "intelligent up/down strokes") which sounds weird. Sustained notes sound like the vibrato comes from a mod wheel, not fingers on strings... which is partly true I guess. Midi notes + bend info etc = Keyboard sound.

Yes, it produces pinch harmonics, but they sound... weird. No other way to describe it really. Kinda out of place?

I'm in no way knocking this devs effort though, for the record. I'm just saying, a guitar player will pick this out any day, even in a mix. It just sounds like a keyboard. (..and yes, I listened to almost all the demos, the full mixed tracks as well).

Good effort non the less

Totally agree, sounds very fake to my ears for a couple of reasons which have held back sampled guitar instruments for years. Really obvious in the power metal demo is that the lead picking is way too perfect, every note at that speed is hit robotically clean and with a strangely regular attack that gives the game away that it's samples rather than a string already in motion being re-struck. And the intonation is spot on, again too perfect, as slight variations in fretting pressure and string deflection produce constant micro-tonal offsets on a real guitar. Not that any other library has got this right, but the time will come when someone will stop throwing more samples at the problem and think about emulating the guitar more accurately. I hope.
