Dean Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I downloaded a virtual instrument Ample Guitar m 2 lite. There are lots of options and different screens. Is there any place that can explain what the different options do or do I have to experiment with them all and figure them out myself.

fret_man Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) The manual is at http://amplesound.net/en/Main_Panel_Manual-AGM.pdf. A good keyswitch summary is at http://amplesound.net/dl0822/ds/Keyswitches(Helmut)v1.6.zip. it needs a slight update but is still very useful. I have it available on my desk ALL the time. But I found it best to study the MIDI demos at http://amplesound.net/en/download.asp. Please note that the free Lite versions have quite a few limitations. They are only meant for you to get a feel for the sounds (which are great) and GUI (which also is good). As a big user (and fanboy) and picky guitar player (nyuk, nyuk, nyuk ?) , I can tell you I have been able to do everything I've needed to with Ample Sound instruments. I highly recommend them.

I have used it to strengthen a guitar performance by a client but would like to hear what others have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway you could post some samples of what you have done with the instrument other than picking? I have used it to strengthen a guitar performance by a client but would like to hear what others have done. All 3 of the pieces I mention here used Ample Sound for guitar. Two are solo finger-style pieces while the other is a folk/bluegrass ensemble (which uses Ample Sound's banjo as well). I often will play and record a piece live. But I don't have a good tracking space (dogs barking, neighbors doing yardwork, A/C turning on/off, etc), so I'll use Melodyne to convert my playing to MIDI. It keeps the timing and dynamics but loses fret positions, hammer-on's, pull-off's, slides, vibrato, etc. I use Ample Sound for my MIDI guitar and manually add all those fret positions and articulations back in. It seems to be a good compromise that is working well for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
