Hello! I made a tutorial video about my setup with Linnstrument for very authentic guitar sounds.

Maybe some of you will find it interesting and useful!

Thanks, that was very interesting

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

You might consider looking into a VSTi that can actually do native true MPE.

What you are doing is a work around for MPE in instruments that don't normally support it.

I will say the Ample sounds very good, and your technique for bends is quite smooth too.

Thanks! And yes, I also use native MPE stuff! But this in my opinion is even better for guitar specifically since it simulates the whole guitar fretboard. So I can play from different positions on the guitar neck - rather than just a certain pitch.

And this way hammer-ons and pull-offs behave properly too.

Cheers!

Exactly! Can only play one note per string

Excellent video. Please continue to share guitar performances and tips. Very helpful tutorial and impressive use of LinnStrument.

Great video; thanks! I tried to mimic this setup in Mainstage, but I'm unable to set it up so that the channel strips receive on only one channel. Anyone have any advice? Thanks.

@steve681 You can use a Mainstage MIDI FX to do this. In the channel strip, click on where it says MIDI FX (above Input) and select Scripter. In the resulting popup where it says Default Preset, click on it and select App Presets > Channel Filter. The popup will change to include a Script Parameters section at the bottom, with the single parameter Pass Only Channel. Select the channel (range 1..16) you want for that strip.

What's going on is that Mainstage supports Javascript scripts that allow considerable editing of the MIDI input stream before it's passed on to the plugin, and it comes with various prewritten scripts (like this Channel Filter).

Thanks; I'll give it a try!
