MusicLab RealStrat Virtual Guitar Software

MusicLab RealStrat Virtual Guitar Software is a sample-based virtual instrument with an innovative approach to guitar sound modeling and guitar techniques emulating on a standard MIDI keyboard.  MusicLab RealStrat Virtual Guitar Software provides incredible playability based on the unique performance modes and easy-to-use keyboard layout as well as the advanced key/pedal/velocity switch system allowing a keyboardist to perform guitar parts with a whole new level of realistic expression.

MusicLab RealStrat Virtual Guitar Software Covers practically all sounds, articulations, and techniques a professional guitarist can produce on his Strat, including mute, bridge mute, harmonics, pinch harmonics, slap, unison bend, strumming, picking, chord chopping, scrapes, and so forth.  High quality dry samples recorded directly from Stratocaster pick-ups let you easily create any desired guitar sound using your favourite amplifier simulator.

MusicLab RealStrat Virtual Guitar Software ships with IK Multimedia Amplitube 2 DUO software, which is a special limited version of AmpliTube 2, IK's complete guitar amp modeling solution and effects powerhouse with ultra accurate models of the most sought after gear.

Some of the MusicLab RealStrat Virtual Guitar Software innovations include:
-Multi-channel layering technology, incorporating a custom library of specially recorded samples taken from every fret of all 6 strings of
  a real guitar
-The unique Floating Fret Position technology, which imitates change of fret position of a guitarist's hand on the neck. This gives you
  the possibility of playing on up to 140 guitar frets using just 46 keys of a standard keyboard!
-Guitar Touch technology letting you easily imitate basic guitar techniques (strumming, plucking, sliding, bending, muting, etc...), using
   standard MIDI keyboard and MIDI controllers, such as Pitch Bender, Modulation Wheel, Sustain Pedal, Aftertouch
-Sound Humanize technology allowing to wholly reduce 'machine gun' effect on note repetition (tremolo, strumming, plucking, etc...)
-MusicLab RealStrat Virtual Guitar Software is equipped with powerful Pattern Manager containing complete MusicLab Guitar Pattern
  Library for easily creating guitar accompaniment tracks. All you have to do is to find the appropriate rhythm pattern[s] in the Pattern
  Manager tree view, copy it to the needed number of measures, start your sequencer and use MIDI keyboard to play chord changes,
  or alternatively add chords to a MIDI track via sequencer's editor.
