Virtual Guitarist 2

Latency
Although Virtual Guitarist is practically latency-free, high latency times
(the delay between pressing keys on your MIDI keyboard and hearing
a sound) can occur when you play Virtual Guitarist via your MIDI key-
board in real time.
This is often caused by the audio card or the MIDI interface, although
it won’t be an issue when playing back a song with a Virtual Guitarist
2 MIDI track. To get rid of annoying real-time latency, we recommend
you to replace your current audio card with a professional audio card
for which an ASIO driver is available. Most soundcards built into off-
the-shelf computers don’t use an ASIO driver and usually produce
large latencies of up to several hundred milliseconds.
Tempo
Virtual Guitarist automatically adapts itself to the tempo of the current
song, which is set up in the host application (such as Cubase). Virtual
Guitarist 2 will also automatically follow tempo changes during play-
back, like an accelerando, for example.
However, the slowest song tempo that Virtual Guitarist plays correctly
at is 70 bpm (beats per minute). With high shuffle values (see below),
the minimum tempo played back correctly is slightly higher. The slow-
est tempo for perfect triplets (Shuffle at 100%) is 85 bpm. However,
there are no upper limits to the tempo of Virtual Guitarist 2 – except for
taste!
Multiple Virtual Guitarists
You can use as many Virtual Guitarists simultaneously as your host
application and computer allow. There’s nothing wrong in using two
rock guitar tracks at the same time with different phrasing, and then
throwing in an additional riff from a third instance of Virtual Guitarist 2
here and there.
