First of all: I think I am quite what you call a greenhorn. Well I want to create a realistic guitar sound especially when it comes to an acoustic guitar as I don't have the opportunity and the equipment respectively to record my guitar at home. So no I wonder how I can get a realistic guitar sound. I tried the DSK Guitar Acoustic VST plug in so far. I drew the chords using the MIDI editor but when it comes to chords I am not satisfied at all. It sounds like a little child hammering on the strings.

Quite mechanical. My questions now are: 1) Is there a VST plugin you would reccomend to me? 2) Is there a possibility to differ between 'moving the hand/plec down or up' (sorry, the English term won't come to my mind right now.

Hi I have just bought the full version of Kontakt and have been puzzling over which guitar library to buy, I'm not much of a keyboard player so was. Ilya Efimov has a new LP, and released a Tele like 2 days ago. Bought the LP recently, but been doing like 18 hour work days, and.

I think you know what I mean. The German terms are 'Abschlag' and 'Aufschlag') 3) How can I make sound smoother? So I get more kind of a 'flow'. So I get rid of that mechanical sound. 4) And is there a way to easily enter chords? Regarding point 3): I used to move the single notes very, very slightly so that all the strings aren't hit at exactly the same time.

This makes it sound more 'human' but only a bit. Anyway, in my eyes this is a trick or a cheat but no solution. Regarding point 4): I used to just draw the notes using the MIDI editor or record my keyboard an then change it a bit. But that's tedious and I don't believe that there's no easier way to do so as the MIDI editor follows that piano design. Thanks for any help in advance. There are a number of great products that would work for you. I own AGM2 by Ample Sound and am very happy.

Very realistic. They have a free version to try. Search google and you will find others in all price ranges. Most will have the ability to trigger downstrokes and upstrokes so it sounds smooth and natural. They usually detect the chord you play on the keyboard and translates it to a guitar voicing. The strumming features automatically stagger the start of each string like a real guitar.

Here is a list of the others I came across: (some require Kontakt) Orange Tree Evolution Indignus Ilya Efimov acoustic Samples Indie fingers Dream Audio tools strum aas gs1 realguitar. I like the AMPLE SOUND guitars too! There is a free light-version you can check out: It's about 800 MB (the full version is 6 GB). Another great instrument is NATIVE INSTRUMENTS Scarbee FUNK GUITARIST! I think it is a bit underrated. If you need FUNK-Chords (it has over 3400 sampled) and rhythms, this could be the rigt for you. But it's a bit specific for this genre.

You can edit the rhythm and choose between differnt arcticulations. But it has a lot of cool presets. (It comes with 8 GB compressed) But I think you look for something differnt. I know it's already been listed above, but I found Ilya Efimov's Acoustic Guitar to sound very realistic. I have that, plus Ample Sounds AGM and Indiginus Acoustic Libraries as well, but I'm mostly impressed with Ilya Efimovs one. He had a half price sale last year just for one day. Exploring Corporate Strategy Ppt Download. I believe it was on May 9, celebrating the Russian history of some particular victory, [which I can't recall right now], but that's only 3-4 weeks away That one and Indiginus' are for Kontakt 4.

Ample Sounds are stand alone. I hear the free one is highly regarded. C7.

WELCOME TO THE ILYA EFIMOV TC STRUM! Strum is a sample-based fully functional totally new formation module designed by Ilya Efimov Productions to imitate guitar musical accompaniment. Using our library could save you a lot of time and money as you will not need to hire a professional guitar player to record parts that would have previously been impossible to do on a virtual instrument. Strum will not impose any limitations on your creative work, it is easy and convenient to use. To add guitar accompaniment you will just need to choose the style and press keys on your MIDI-keyboard. You can play anything from simple to extremely complicated chords in any arrangement, Strum will do everything by itself.

The library isn’t just restricted to root chords, it’s familiar with a great variety of inversions and chord extensions. Each of the 33 chord variations that can be recognized by our instrument have 4 playing positions. Out-of-the-box our library comes with 1584 TABs. You can edit any of the TABs or create your own. Any chord, no matter how complicated,can be created and saved for use inside the library or on your HDD. Our unique system – “Round Robin for Chords” is used in this library.

It is a complex system that helps to prevent playing an exact replica of a strummed chord. The attack style, Pick noise variation, velocity of each string and Strum time (the time between attacks of each string during playing the chord) are also changed in a random way to avoid the machine-gun effect. Strum has many styles.

Altogether you have 320 cells available for storing patterns, 240 of which we have made ready for your fast and easy access. You can easily edit any style or create your own. The whole editing process is graphical and easy to understand even from the first time you use the library. Styles, patterns and chords can be saved inside the instrument or separately on your HDD. For fast and easy switching between styles during use, you can chose patterns for your arrangement and compile them into songs. As well as the features listed above, our library also provides a variety of interesting options such as Reverb effects, Delay, EQ, Compressor and 20 presets to save your personal settings for those effects. There are also Stereo Double track options that will give you the opportunity to imitate 2 guitars playing simultaneously, and other settings to adjust the sound and style according to your taste.

You can also collect the favorite styles to set and use quickly switch between them. YOUR STYLES The Strum allows you to use available patterns, edit them and create your own patterns. You can arrange patterns, export and import them. To create patterns you can use the graphic table resembling to the key editor in your sequencer.

This table occupies the major part of the interface. You can imitate guitar accompaniment in two ways: in the manual and automatic modes.

AUTO In the automatic mode choose only the pattern to hear the required accompaniment while pressing chords. In this case only the chords are recorded into the sequencer, like into Pad. MANUAL In the manual mode you can play and record the guitar accompaniment manually into your sequencer, changing chords and using chord articulations. Round-Robin Chord System is used in our library, which guarantees that the sound of each chord will be different from the previous one that will help to avoid mechanical repetition.
