Interface and Parameters

The GD-6 Acoustic Guitar is based on a Guild D-40 custom edition electro-acoustic guitar.  

 

It is now in V2 and the script was updated to contain the same features as the 

Sunbird

 library.

We recorded it with a pair of microphones and using the built in pickup.
We sampled it very deeply, all frets of all strings with upstrokes, downstrokes, round robins, releases, staccatos, mutes,
palm mutes, hand blocks, slides, hammer ons, pull offs, retriggers, fretnoises, percussions other articulations. All of
these details allow us to reproduce the real playing of a guitar player, and easily.
There are basically 4 modes (that you can choose using keyswitches, G5 to C6), the solo mode that allows to play
melodies, the chord mode that helps playing strums or picking very easily, the patterns mode that does all of the
strumming or picking for you and the MIDI mode that allows you to use your preffered midi guitar controler. All of these
details allow us to reproduce the real playing of a guitar player, and easily.

Strumming machine

The GD-6 acoustic guitar can strum, in various ways,
up, down, muted, in legato and allows finger picking.
Everything is modeled after meticulously analyzing
thousands of real chords played by guitarist. Every
aspect of the strumming engine can be tweaked to
achieve the sound you want.

The chord recognition engine  helps converting
any chord you play on your keyboard to a real guitar
voicing. Recognizing a chord is made through a
database of thousands of standard chords, and you
can edit every chord or even add new ones.

The chord hammers feature lets you play left hand
hammer ons and pull offs while strumming or
picking.

 

The triggers are set from C4 to C5.

C4 is the strum down,
C#4 is the strum down muted,
D4 is the strum up,

                             5 / 13
