Strumming Acoustic 2 sounds just like the real thing, offering a large number of patterns (112 patterns recorded with 6-string guitars and 51 with 12-string guitars). In the best case scenario I use my cheap electro acoustic guitar with Piezo pick-up – quite a lousy substitute for a good sounding acoustic guitar. I get a headache every time I even think of doing all this. Despite this I have acoustic guitars in only two of my songs. To be honest, I would like to use acoustic guitar in every chorus, as it adds drive and width, making it bigger and more epic. Too much monkey business for such a simple task, if you ask me. I play mostly electric guitar, taking up the acoustic just once in a while, so this also means practicing before every recording session. This is just the technical side of the deal. Setting up two good microphones, finding the sweet spots for them (actually, I have only one good microphone and one more average one – not an ideal solution for recording acoustic guitar). Not that I couldn’t record similar lines by myself but, truth be told, recording acoustic guitar is quite an adventure, finding an appropriate room with good acoustics. I’m a guitar player and I was very pleased to get this virtual instrument. Short slides sustains and Noises/Fx (2 patches) Indie Fingers Volume Four also features a complete set of noises (body hits and slams, slide noise, several other noises) and a set of short slide-to.note sustains.Is Strumming Acoustic 2 a virtual instrument or real session musician? One thing is for sure, the listener will never know the answer.You can create arpeggios, chords, single notes sequences. They can be freely played in a piano-like form without any harmonic limitation. Full range repetitions are sequences of a single note, played and sampled on several position of the neck (usually each tone), covering the full available range. Patterns and repetitions (5+5 patches) The definitive cure against machine-gun effect.Harmonics (2 patches) A set of natuiral sustained harmonics, both stretched (extended range) and unstretched (natural range).In addiction, separate keyswitched patches for arpeggios and basses are provided. Each Arpeggio patch features also multisampled 6th and 5th strings bass repetitions (keyswitched durations eights and fourths) in the lower range of the keyboard, to be combined with the arpeggio, in order to emulate common fingerpicking figures. Arpeggios can also be combined to create more complex structures. Arpeggios have been multisampled across the neck (usually each whole tone), mapped to keyboard, and can be applied to any fitting chord or harmony. Bass+Arpeggio Patches (17 patches+2 Keyswitched patches) Seventeen patches featuring two-notes and three-notes arpeggios.The library contains the following sounds/patches
