Direct Guitar 4 is now out for a Fender Strat. Try and get past the terrible sound on the dialogue here (how and why do audio companies of all people still DO this?!!), the main demo is very impressive.
Note - Andrea doesn't say what version of Kontakt is supported, but you do need the full version of whatever it is. EDIT - it is 6.8.DirectGuitar 4.0 REVOLUTION sets a new industry standard as the world's first guitar library to eliminate traditional multi-layer sampling.
It offers seamless transitions and infinite alternates, ensuring unparalleled realism and expressiveness.
What makes DirectGuitar 4.0 so revolutionary?
Complete Stratocaster Pickup Sampling: Features every pickup configuration of a Stratocaster, including:
Neck Pickup: Warm, smooth tones.
Neck + Middle Pickups: Balanced warmth and brightness.
Middle Pickup: Crisp, round sound.
Middle + Bridge Pickups: Sharp, bright tones.
Bridge Pickup: Clear, high-output for lead.
Seamless Sample Transitions: The transition between notes is smooth, regardless of velocity changes. This eliminates the abrupt tone shifts typically found in traditional sampling.
Infinite Alternates: Each press of a key offers a unique note, moving beyond the limitations of alternating between two or more repetitive samples.
Natural Bending: The new bending feature produces organic-sounding note bends, free from the artificiality of digital effects.
Advanced Muting Controls: This allows for nuanced string muting, giving you the ability to adjust the dampening effect gradually, as if you were physically interacting with the strings.
Dynamic Pick Positioning: Mimic the natural movement of adjusting pick position from neck to bridge, altering the tone from warm and rhythmic to bright and sharp.
Dynamic Strumming: When you play a chord, DirectGuitar 4.0 automatically performs the strumming for you, mirroring a real guitar's response. The speed and intensity of the strum vary based on your input velocity, allowing for naturally expressive and dynamic playing.
String Height: Slider adjusts string action, affecting buzz and tone.
