The thing I found all guitars had in common was that they really do sound like you plugged the real thing into your console - not an ounce of that blanketed, papery "sampled" sound to any of them. The Danelctro Lipstick is super bright and metallic, very much a "character" guitar.

The Les Paul P90 straddles the line between a Strat and a Les Paul tone, the Rickenbacker is gloriously jangly, the Strat is biting and full and the Tele - well, it sounds like you want a Tele to sound. Some might find the 335 to be a little on the thin side, it didn't bother me, but it is definitely not as fat and huge and chunky as the Les Paul. I tried different pickup and tone positions but couldn't get those high strings up loud enough for my taste. The guitars are all winners, with the exception of the Gibson L4 which, to my ears, lacked volume in the uppermost octaves. The guitars themselves take some time to load - most of them hover around the 500-700 MB size, a couple of them are larger. I thought this was confusing, Vir2 should have stated that if you already have K4 installed, you can bypass installing the Kontakt engine.

The manual recommends that you install the Kontakt4 engine and then the library - but if you already have Kontakt4, you don't need to install it from the disc. Fortunately, the most critical keyswitches are in the octave right below the lowest note of the guitar (which can be set to C, if you want). Many of the articulation keyswitches are in the uppermost octaves of the keyboard, meaning that you certainly have to overdub them as events on your MIDI track, or else grow another pair of arms. The other somewhat annoying "feature" is the placement of the keyswitches - it's really best to have at least a 76-key controller, if not an 88. I don't recommend bothering with the "amped" versions of any of the guitars, just launch the DI versions, and use something like Amplitube3 or

The pedal chorus/delay/flanger is okay, the amp simulator is downright awful.

Vibrato is enabled by pushing the mod wheel all the way forward - the middle position of the mod wheel gives you sustain with no vibrato.Ī couple of minuses (naturally) - the included effects are not very good. The default velocity to string volume settings are on the low side, I'd recommend setting them higher. I found that going into the Settings/Strings panel and adjusting per string velocity-to-volume to at least 60% yielded better playability, too. Switching the AMT articulation control to CC's allows you to use the mod wheel to switch the articulations - much easier to play. It takes some time to get the hang of playing it too.one thing I realized after some head-scratching was that when you launch any of the guitars, they default to velocity controlling the main articulations (muted, sustain, and vibrato), and control of the guitar was kind of clumsy for me. Not to mention that the Electri6ity engine recognizes 2000 chords from your position on the keyboard and revoices them automatically to guitar voicings.Įlectri6ity doesn't come with MIDI strum patterns or arpeggios, unlike MusicLab's products or AAS Strum Electric. How your pick angle and position will vary with velocity, fretboard position, and note intervals, you can determine whether you slide up from four frets below a target note or slide across to a target note from an adjacent string, whether you play certain notes on certain strings or multiple strings, degree of time for strings to sound within a strum, tone switch position, pickup position, amount of string "sag" dependent upon playing velocity.the list is gigantic and it will take you weeks to go through all the variations. You can literally design the degree of sympathetic resonance, The available control for sound, articulations, and behavior are mind-boggling. These are the best sampled electrics I've ever heard. Absolutely amazing sound - I have a lot of guitar VI's (Pettinhouse, RealGuitar2, Real Strat, Prominy LPC,ĪAS Strum Electric, Virtual Guitarist 2) and I have to admit, I'm putting Electri6ity at the top of the list for sound quality. I installed Vir2's "Electri6ity" today (on my PC, where most of my VI's live and are triggered via MIDI from DP on my G5).
