crunchy, palm-muted guitar soundfont

[geeseaplenty]

Know ye of such a soundfont? Preferably with multiple velocities.

I know there must be something out there. How hard could it be to sample such a simple sound?

not to hijack the thread.... but what type of soundfont could i use to get a Dub Reggae Guitar "Skank" sound? I tried VB-1, but i did not like the sound

[Matt Wilson]

I would like this as well. There doesn't seem to be too many soundfonts/VSTs tailored to modern genres (like punk and ska).

I have a muted guitar soundfont that would fit the bill for both of these. I found it on Hammersound.net. Give it a shot if you haven't already.

As mentioned a good free sound font will most likely do the trick. Be sure and stagger your attacks and grab a free amp simulator for your signal chain. For short upstroke-only attacks like what your after you'll be able to nail this sound without spending a dime.

edit: stagger your attacks in the proper direction, meaning from high string to low string.

Punk and ska - modern? I'm missing the irony here, aren't I?

What's the name of it? I've been there and there's quite a lot to sort through!

Thanks, Shane. Good advice.

BTW, your web site is looking awesome. I visit every once in a while to check out your artwork, etc.

If I was at my DAW I would be able to tell you. I can't remember off the top of my head.

Well I'm referring to the modern pop punk and third wave ska that you typically think of when you think of either genre; not so much The Clash or The Ramones or the Skatellites or Ethiopians, more like Green Day and Vandals and Bosstones and the Toasters and other bands that made both genres explode into the mainstream in the 90s. Sorry for the misunderstanding! I swear I'm cultured!!

hijack #2... since I will be going to sf2midi.com.... what other type soundfonts would be helpful for dub? I am going to get a Jazz bass, a funk guitar... what other SF2's would be helpful if i wanted to have a basic Dub instrument setup? I have PSP Springverb (FM edition) and Bionic Delay for effects.... again, my apologies for hijacking the thread

for that old school dub touch, you might want to grab a melodica.
I'm sure there was one here - http://www.dubroom.org/ - but i can't find it now ...

Download all the soundfonts by me on sf2midi.com (username geoffkhan). There's some basses and reggae guitar and stuff like that which will be useful for you.
