Soundwise

Amber has got some nice tones and rhythms, but it's a CPU hog.

These new amps up the game for Overloud, no doubt. At first, it feels like either listening to real amp recorded or playing through ... Amplitube. Gotta test a little more against other plugins.

Agreed. Their plugins still sound great and require very little CPU power. Both Pulse-TEC and All-Tec are my go-to EQs for mixing.

LABS used to occupy gigabytes of drive space, although I never used them. Not once since they came out. In fact, they were so uninspiring, I never felt like shopping for Spitfire libraries. I hear good things about Albion, but then again, symphonic music is way above my league.

Arguably, the best Hammond emulation on the market.

Currently, TH-U is the most CPU-friendly amp-sim on the market. I wonder, if the new models will keep up to the rest of it in this department.

AAS GS-2 used to be my go-to instrument for quick and dirty guitar mock-ups. A few years ago I injured my left wrist and was unable to play the guitar. Although now my wrist seems to have recovered from that injury, I still cannot practice/play for more than 30 minutes. That's why I'm looking for easy to use guitar instruments and libraries and often compare their UI/UX against GS-2. It's a very capable little gem (head and shoulders above UJAM, imo) that can do electric, acoustic and nylon string guitars; all strumming and picking is a breeze. The only downside- it cannot compete with quality sampled instruments tonewise.

What I find really unique and thrilling about this plugin is the option to use Proteus models. I've been toying with the idea to write a framework like this, but it's a long shot for a humble start-up. I haven't tried it yet, but if it's possible to design a schematic in Proteus, load it into Genome and immediately hear what it sounds like - that's my dream come true! Awesome feature! (Allegedly)

Well, these keys allow you to trigger only notes within a chord while you are never sure which degree (or string) is mapped to those keys in C2-A2 range. And, as I said, you won't be able to play embellishments, because your set of notes is limited by the played chord. As for guitarists, a real player would expect individual pitch keys to be mapped to a certain string, e.g., C2 -> 6th string, A2 -> 1st string. Not the case here. Check out AmpleSound guitars, AAS GS-2, AcousticSamples, etc.

I've seen something that looked like single not playing, too. Yet, here we are, not able to find a way to do it with this toy "instrument". 😄

I tried it - deafening silence, unless you press one of the pattern keys.

Demoing Silk 2. Hugely disappointed. This is not an instrument, but rather a player for built-in midi loops and patterns like strums and arpeggios. Arpeggios, however, have nothing in common with the guitar technique of the same name. Any DAW or MIDI-keyboard can do the same. Instrument page is a joke - you can't play single notes, just chords that have to be either strummed or picked. Although it is possible to play regular guitar arpeggios on the instrument page, I still wonder how playing arpeggios (picking every note) with one hand while holding a chord with another is better than just playing arpeggios? Also, you can't play any embellishments, like grace notes, slurs, etc. I must mention, that the recorded samples are not great, average at best. 7GB of disk space for something as useless as this piece of software? No, thanks!

Patience, my friend. 😄 Takes a few minutes to fact-check and look for prices/details.

Compressor plugins are like ampsims - they all basically do the same thing slightly differently, still you always crave them and need "one more".

That is very unfortunate. I can name a bunch of companies that dropped support and further development of excellent products. I steer away from such companies no matter how good their current offer is.

Isn't it a ballpark accurate description of things that happen to a speaker when it's overloaded? I assume this plugin is based on accurately measured nonlinearities of the actual cab. Pretty much like an IR resembles a mere comb filter, being somewhat more complicated than that. Or analog EQ emulations that normally go a few steps further compared to a simple digital EQ.
