I don't really know how to explain it as I'm not a real guitar player but when I'm using any Ample Guitar some notes are always kind of muted or at least much quieter than others and I just wanted to ask if there's any way to turn that off. I know it's propably like that to make it sound more realistic but I don't really care about that. Hope you guys unterstand what I'm saying.
I have other questions about the VSTi's other mode (where hand-programmed MIDI notes outside the guitar's range are captured by the VSTi, and call up chords and articulation) but I'll add a separate post for that, since it's really a different thing (though I'm sure the resolution could easily be the same).
I have had an odd problem with an Ample bass guitar plugin. The song starts with 2 drummers (EZDrummer 3 x 2) then the bass riff comes in for a couple of bars before everything else.
It all worked perfectly until I rendered the track, then I could hear in the second bar of the the bass riff, one of the notes played an octave up!
I took the easy way out and rendered in real time. Very odd.

AmpleSound makes incredible sounding acoustic, electric and bass guitar VSTs. I have always been a GS Strum fan for their ability to put proper guitar voicing and strums on a keyboard. However, I was never fully satisfied with Strum voicing because is not based on actual samples. AmpleSound, on the other hand, is based on samples with detailed and extensive articulations. It makes a difference. Besides traditional guitars, check out the Amplesound Lap Steel, just incredible sounding with all the right playable articulations.
I have Ample guitar M II lite.
I created a strumming pattern in the guitar plugin, and I want to 'bring' that strumming pattern onto my piano roll and play it with the song. I can't figure out how to do that so please help me.
Ample Guitar TC is a virtual electric guitar which is based on samples of a Fender Telecaster. The library has over 3.8 GB of samples, all in 44.1 kHz and 24 bit recording quality. Furthermore Ample Guitar TC offers all common playing varieties such as strumming, fingerpicking and much more. Another feature is the integrated tab player that can play all popular formats of Tabs.
The Tab Player can load and play several prevalent guitar tablature file formats. Users can load, display and playback any specific track inside a tablature file. When used in DAWs, the Tab Player also allows users to export the tablature as an audio file.
I agree about Sampletank. However, the issue lies in the fact that IAA is being deprecated, and Sampletank (as far as I know) hasn't gone AU yet. (I've given up hope of that ages ago, lol.) Gestrument is also IAA-only (which is why I haven't purchased it yet), but I assume you can export what you create and import it into other apps, correct?
Beathawk's guitars are about the best guitars available in AU format. They also have a decent Guitar Loops pack as well as well as really great acoustic instrument packs in general. The packs are reasonably priced as well, although if you're able to wait, UVI often have 50% off sales on said packs.
@jwmmakerofmusic Don't quote me but I think Gestrument allows for midi out. The bigger issue is if you are using Gestrument, or any type of controller app for that matter (I use Guitarism a lot), if this functionality would go away with IAA deprecated/ abandoned. I know for example that iSymphonic uses two types of midi, I think it's core midi and IAA midi. You can select both, and that is the only one that ever worked for me when I was using it with Beatmaker 2. Now, I'm not worried about iSymphonic as it is AUv3. But I am thinking of other controllers etc and how they are implementing their midi, and more importantly, if that would be "deprecated" as well.
No, sadly the SWAM packs still don't work in AU; it's a different engine to the Equator engine that the other packs use, and I think ROLI's licensing arrangement with Audio Modelling doesn't currently allow for AU. But for what it's worth, the SWAM packs just cover wind and strings; the guitars are other packs are Equator patches and will play in AU, though they're none of them straight acoustic patches. (But they are MPE, as are the acoustic guitars in ThumbJam and iFretless, but not the others that have been mentioned in this thread so far.)
While I don't like Sampletank, as a guitar player have to say that American Acoustic sounds best on iOS so far - like Ravenscroft but as a guitar. I didn't find Puresynth all that convincing ... add Bassalicious acoustic basses to that and you can fake a band. :-)
The midi guitar option is meant for midi guitar controllers like Jammy that send midi data from each string to discrete midi channels. This is useless with MG since the midi output is sent to one channel regardless of string or note played.
This complete set of audio tracks is an accompaniment file for the musical examples and songs in the Acoustic Guitar Slide Basics book, and is available as a free download to those customers who have already purchased the book.
Hi, I want to be able to reproduce (live) the sound made by a rhythm guitarist in a jazz,/ swing band
I have downloaded the Ample Sound AGM Lite ll VST. Has anyone out there used the Strumming feature on this VST with Cantabile Solo?
If you are interested, AcousticSamples has their 4 guitars on offer again for USD 99.

Recorded and scripted from the ground-up by composer and virtuoso guitarist Mike Georgiades, this guitar aims to set a new standard for virtual guitar libraries, offering a remarkably authentic sound out of the box, and helping to demystify the workings of the guitar for non-guitarists.
This is the default mode when first opening the instrument UI. As with all modes, the top half section displays the actual Martin J40 guitar from which the samples were recorded, and on the virtual fretboard any inputted (or automated) notes will be displayed.
An acoustic guitar is a musical instrument in the string family. When a string is plucked, its vibration is transmitted from the bridge, resonating throughout the top of the guitar. It is also transmitted to the side and back of the instrument, resonating through the air in the body, and producing sound from the sound hole.[1] The original, general term for this stringed instrument is guitar, and the retronym 'acoustic guitar' distinguishes it from an electric guitar, which relies on electronic amplification. Typically, a guitar's body is a sound box, of which the top side serves as a sound board that enhances the vibration sounds of the strings. In standard tuning the guitar's six strings[2] are tuned (low to high) E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4.
The guitar likely originated in Spain in the early 16th century, deriving from the guitarra latina.[3] Gitterns (small, plucked guitars), were the first small, guitar-like instruments created during the Spanish Middle Ages with a round back, like that of the lute.[4] Modern guitar-shaped instruments were not seen until the Renaissance era, when the body and size began to take a guitar-like shape.
The earliest string instruments related to the guitar and its structure were broadly known as vihuelas within Spanish musical culture. Vihuelas were string instruments that were commonly seen in the 16th century during the Renaissance. Later, Spanish writers distinguished these instruments into two categories of vihuelas. The vihuela de arco was an instrument that mimicked the violin, and the vihuela de Penola was played with a plectrum or by hand. When it was played by hand it was known as the vihuela de mano. Vihuela de mano shared extreme similarities with the Renaissance guitar as it used hand movement at the sound hole or sound chamber of the instrument to create music.[5]
By 1790 only six-course vihuela guitars (six unison-tuned pairs of strings) were being created and had become the main type and model of guitar used in Spain. Most of the older 5-course guitars were still in use but were also being modified to a six-coursed acoustical guitar. Fernando Ferandiere's[6] book Arte de tocar la Guitarra Española por Música (Madrid, 1799) describes the standard Spanish guitar from his time as an instrument with seventeen frets and six courses with the first two 'gut' strings tuned in unison called the terceras and the tuning named to 'G' of the two strings. The acoustic guitar at this time began to take the shape familiar in the modern acoustic guitar. The coursed pairs of strings eventually became less common in favor of single strings.[7]
Around 1850, the form and structure of the modern guitar was established by Spanish guitar maker Antonio Torres Jurado who increased the size of the guitar body, altered its proportions, and made use of fan bracing, which first appeared in guitars made by Francisco Sanguino in the late 18th century. The bracing pattern, which refers to the internal pattern of wood reinforcements used to secure the guitar's top and back to prevent the instrument from collapsing under tension,[8] is an important factor in how the guitar sounds. Torres' design greatly improved the volume, tone, and projection of the instrument, and it has remained essentially unchanged since.
The acoustic guitar's soundboard, or top, also has a strong effect on the loudness of the guitar. Woods that are good at transmitting sound, like spruce, are commonly used for the soundboard.[9] No amplification occurs in this process, because musicians add no external energy to increase the loudness of the sound (as would be the case with an electronic amplifier). All the energy is provided by the plucking of the string. Without a soundboard, however, the string would just "cut" through the air without moving it much. The soundboard increases the surface of the vibrating area in a process called mechanical impedance matching. The soundboard can move the air much more easily than the string alone, because it is large and flat. This increases the entire system's energy transfer efficiency, and musicians emit a much louder sound.
