If you’re serious about creating truly realistic sounding solo & accompaniment guitar melodies, this new product by MusicLAB is just what you need! RealGuitar is a sample-based virtual instrument with an innovative approach to guitar sound modelling and performing.

The true power of RealGuitar lies in 3 new technologies incorporated in this innovative guitar performance tool:

• New multi-channel layering technology, incorporating a custom library of specially recorded samples taken from every fret of all 6 strings of a real guitar.
• The unique Floating Fret Position technology, which imitates change of fret position of a guitarist's hand on the neck. This gives you the possibility to play up to 104 guitar frets using just 43 keys of a standard keyboard!
• The original Guitar Touch technology lets you easily imitate basic guitar techniques (strumming, plucking, sliding, bending, muting, etc..), using standard MIDI keyboard and MIDI controllers, such as Pitch Bender, Modulation Wheel, Sustain Pedal, Aftertouch.

These technologies allow realistic live guitar emulation, so you can now perform guitar parts with a whole new level of expression.

Real Guitar also includes an outstanding Guitar Rhythm Pattern Library, which was 3 years in the making. This MIDI library is a unique product in itself providing you with rhythms and chords for every style of music.
