7. is function allows any note in any articulation to be played in a fast picked repeated style Each note is selected using the Random Robin technique so each note in the tremelo picked sequence will be different thus avoiding the machine gun effect Turning the Speed dial by clicking on it and dragging will change the speed of the tremelo picking This feature is primarily designed for Legato Marcato or Staccato articulations but can provide some interesting sounds when applied to other articulations like the SFX especially when combined with the effects units available for this instrument VIBRATO KEY It is useful to use the pitch bend wheel to simulate a player bending up a string i e pitching up the string with his or her fingers This is a common guitar technique often used in solos Small variations in pitch wheel position can be used to simulate vibrato However this instrument includes a Vibrato Key The note CO on the keyboard when pressed will raise the pitch of a played note thereby allowing the user to play in vibrato every time you press CO the pitch will go up every time you let go the pitch will drop back down This can be used to punch in quick vibrato completely freely The amount of pitch bend increases with CO note velocity i e hard key presses will result in more pitch bend MIDI CONTROL Each dial switch can be controlled by external MIDI controllers in fact this is recommended as a more intuitive way of us
8. l i e the volume of the reverb effect Range is from dB to 3dB Predelay This is the length of the short delay between the dry signal and the reverb effect in milli seconds Range is 0 1ms to 200ms Hi Pass Adjusts the cutoff frequency below which the signals frequency content will be attenuated Range is from 50Hz to 2KHz Low Pass Adjusts the cutoff frequency above which the signals frequency content will be attenu ated Range is from 2KHz to 20KHz CABINET AII the above effects run through a virtual speaker cabinet as if you had really plugged a bass guitar via a collection of stomp boxes into an amplifier This cabinet is loosely modelled on an Ampeg Bass Amp Simply click the Left Hand Cabinet Switch On for an amped bass guitar sound The amp can be tweaked in terms of high and low frequency shelves 14 LICENSE AGREEMENT Replika Sound Guitar Libraries are under Royalty Free non exclusive license It means that you can use the contents as part of your commercial and non commercial music compositions for CD DVD Video Movies TV Games Websites Presentations etc without payment or any further fees This license is personal and non transferable The products you have purchased are non exclusively licensed not sold to you You can NOT resell entire or separate elements of these packs as your own or as part of any other sample library or software hardware Any unlicensed usage will be prosecuted to the maximum exten

12. ue Random Robin algorithm For example in a 4 note A Major chord played in the Legato articulation 1 of 5 possible notes is selected for the AO note 1 of 5 possible notes is selected for the next note E1 1 of 5 possible notes is selected for the next note A1 and so on This leads to a much more human feel as each repeated strummed chord sounds different from those around it Bar chords are made when the bass player uses his her index finger to act as a bar across the fret board These chords are the most flexible as many common shapes work up and down the entire range of the instrument In total there are 26 Bar chord types available on this instrument They are listed together with their corresponding piano keynote in the CHORDS LIST Power chords are 3 note chords made up of the root note i e the key you play a Fifth above and an Octave above They are most often used in rock music styles and suit lots of heavy distortion STRUM CONTROL This dial will control how fast each chord is strummed Turn clockwise for faster strumming anti clockwise to slow down the strum speed RELEASE CONTROL This dial will change the overall release of each note in the instrument It is designed to help blend chords together when fast strumming is played programmed STRUM DIRECTION SWITCH Use this switch to change the direction of strummed chords The switch will display the current direction of strumming TREMELO FUNCTION Th
