RealGuitar is a program that allows you to create or alterate guitar sounds. RealGuitar is a program that allows you to create or alterate guitar sounds.

"New 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 104 guitar frets using just 43 keys of a standard keyboard!

"Our original 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.

Here are some key features of "RealGuitar":
Complete RG MIDI Pattern Library (1250 rhythm patterns)
Pattern Tree view, allowing to find/select rhythm patterns right from RealGuitar

Auditioning selected pattern by simply pressing chord on the external keyboard without starting your host sequencer, even with RealGuitar standalone run
Total synchronization with host's tempo, start/stop, beats, loop, time signature...
Drag'n'Drop selected pattern from Pattern window right to your host's MIDI track (pattern is automatically multiplied by the assigned number of measures)
Real time pattern arranging (dramatic changing pattern performance on the fly):
Add/reduce dynamics (velo+)
Randomize dynamics
Apply velocity of trigger chord to pattern dynamics
Continuous dynamics changes (+/- velocity assigned to Pitch Bender controller)
Features added to Solo mode:
 
Hammer-on, Pull-off
Hammer-on with automatic Pull-off on key release
Legato Slide (up and down) - automatic slide between any two pressed notes
