Now everything is set up for a hands-on approach to Virtual Guitarist
2, so:
1. Activate Virtual Guitarist 2 (as described in the section “Preparations”
on page 12) and load a Style from the blue Style list on the right by
double-clicking it. Click the Latch button on the Play Page to activate
latched play mode.
2. Play a chord or note on your MIDI keyboard in the region above C3,
and Virtual Guitarist 2 will start to play. Because we activated the
Latch button, playback will continue when you release the key(s).
3. If you have a sustain pedal connected to your MIDI keyboard, press it
to stop Virtual Guitarist 2.
If you don’t have a sustain pedal, you can also press the G#1 key on your MIDI key-
board.
The MIDI symbol in the chord display lights up when Virtual Guitarist 2
receives MIDI-Events.
How to Play Virtual Guitarist 2
There are several ways of playing Virtual Guitarist 2:
• You can play chords and vary the expression using keyboard velocity, MIDI
controllers, the sustain pedal, and program changes.
• If you’re not familiar with a keyboard, you can enter chords and other MIDI
events using one of the editors provided by your sequencer software.
• You can use Virtual Guitarist to dub the chord tracks of existing songs and
MIDI files to improve the way they sound. Many commercial MIDI files include
special chord tracks, although duplicating a typical "Pad sound” track (such
as strings) with Virtual Guitarist 2 will usually produce good results.
