Blue Cat Audio has released Blue Cat's Re-Guitar 1.3, a free update for its guitar tone modeling plug-in capable of emulating an infinite number of guitars out of a single instrument.
"Re-guitaring" can be used to enhance or completely modify the guitar tone while playing an instrument, or to virtually switch guitars after recording - just like we already do with guitar amp simulations for example.
Re-Guitar 1.3 now supports any type of piezo pickup as input (in addition to existing magnetic pickups), so it is possible to get real acoustic guitar tones out of direct piezo recordings, as shown here.
This new version also includes improvements for the hollow body simulation and a few other enhancements (full list below).
The free update can be downloaded from the same location as the original full version (link received by email upon purchase). Re-Guitar is on sale (30% off - 69 USD/EUR instead of 99) until August 17th, while existing customers will receive an even better deal by email. Demo versions are available on www.bluecataudio.com in most plug-in formats for Mac and Windows PC.
New:
- Added piezo input pickup type to enhance the sound of acoustic or electric guitars with piezo pickups (https://www.bluecataudio.com/Blog/tip-of-the-day/piezo-pickup-di-sounding-like-a-real-acoustic-guitar/).
- New switch to invert the phase of the hollow body simulation for a larger palette of sounds.
- Improved integration with MIDI controllers.
- Slightly faster plug-in loading time.
System requirements:
- Apple Silicon or Intel Mac running Mac OS 10.9 or newer.
