How do I use Virtual Guitarist?
Using Virtual Guitarist is simple, especially if you think of the plug-in as
a real rhythm guitar player—tell them what to play and they will play it.
The playing is precise and the guitarist won’t complain, which, aside
from the clever programming, is a worldwide first in itself!
Virtual Guitarist is used exactly like any other VST Instrument:
• Prepare a track and load Virtual Guitarist.
• Select a player from the menu.
• Use a MIDI keyboard to trigger the Virtual Guitarist or, alternatively, manually
add the chords to a MIDI track via the sequencer’s editor.
• Swap guitars, throw in fills or long chords, and improve your guitar track until
you’re happy with it. You can change any parameter at a later time, and, in con-
trast to recording "real” guitars, you can change the key of the song at any
time without having to repeat the whole recording session!
What is Virtual Guitarist?
Technically speaking, Virtual Guitarist is a set of two VST Instruments
containing a variety of rhythm guitar styles. Each style is represented
by a player, and is ready-to-go with the correct guitar, microphone or
amp, and a selection of phrasing controls.
Musically speaking, Virtual Guitarist plays itself, and all you have to do
is play the chord and key progressions via a MIDI keyboard. You can
control the phrasing, sound, and many other play parameters, using
either the mouse, or by triggering them in real time by using a MIDI
controller. This enables you to adapt the rhythm guitar to seamlessly
work within your song, and in any given musical style.
