The Muted Hammer On<->Hammer On articulation allows you to play
hammer ons, a playing technique where you use your left or right hand to
hammer on the fretboard to make the note sound. This technique is used if
notes are played very fast, if notes are played legato, or for tapping licks
(for example, Van Halen uses a lot of tapping in his playing). You can
switch between muted hammer ons and open hammer ons with this
articulation.
The Muted Pull O<->Pull O articulations allows you to play pull os, a
playing technique where you pull your pressed finger of your left or right
hand from the fretboard to make a note sounding. This technique is used if
notes are played very fast, for legato playing, and for tapping licks . You
can switch between muted pull os and open pull os with this
articulation.
ELECTRI6ITY oers a variety of one-shot FX samples (plectrum scratches,
screams, whammy eects, etc.). They are nice to spice up ris and for
various kinds of intros or endings. The FX samples have been spread across
the entire playable range of the guitar, with one FX sample to each
chromatic key.
Ghost notes (also known as dead notes) on a guitar don’t have a clear
pitch, instead they have an almost percussive character and are mostly
used between phrases or chords. A typical example is the Chucka-Chucka
sound which is also based on this articulation. The Ghosts Clean
articulation is an evenly played variation of the Chucka-Chucka notes.
The Ghosts Dirty articulation is based on the typical chucka-chucka sound
(which is also available via trigger keyswitches). It’s a very percussive
articulation with no clear pitch.
