Anyone seen this yet? It's awesome! It's everything VG Iron isn't plus a whole lot more. I bought Iron last year (on sale) and while I love the concept, the workflow and the sounds it is capable of, I found it very hard to sit into a mix and I have only found a couple of uses for it. Carbon changes that - it sounds every bit as good as Iron but because of its different character, it fits into even the densest mixes easily.
VG Carbon takes all the best features from other instruments in the range and refines the workflow slightly to open up more possibilities than ever. Like VB-Rowdy, you can bypass the riffs and play the instrument normally from your sequencer or controller. But it also has the familiar preset riffs with a dozen or more variations, plus a "Shred" feature I've not seen before. You can find out for yourself what it does, I won't spoil the surprise. Unlike VG-Iron, you also get a much broader note range in Carbon, about three octaves, which is what really helps in getting it to work in your songs.
I reckon Ujam have nailed it with VG-Carbon and we've already integrated it into three of our songs, just over the last couple of days. It's overtaken Sugar Bytes' Guitarist as my favourite guitar, although I probably need to spend more time learning how to get the most out of Guitarist, it's a lot deeper than my other guitar VSTis.
