I use both Vir2 Electri6ity and Acou6tics - Yes; these are very complex instruments and not immediately user-friendly, but if you are prepared to spend the time tinkering with the keyswitches and controllers, they certainly provide accurate emulations of the real thing and my results have so far been most satisfying.
these are my only guitar VSTi's, so I have cannot make comparisons to other products. However, I suppose it is like adapting to any alternative control logic - you just learn to steer in a different way - oh, and you need a 109-note keyboard too (I use a 61 note, a 49 note and a NI Maschine combined)!
I hope Vir2 tweak the products further; articulated feedback, deselecting strings so that they play open in conjunction with three-note chords, out-of-phase pickup selection on the strat, possible different chord structures for different tunings (DADGAD etc).
Perhaps I should just loearn to play the guitar better, eh?!!!
I really want to love Electri6ity but I'm finding it so hard to learn to use.
All I need to do is create a nice jazz guitar sound that plays like any guitar patch would on a keyboard but it's so difficult to achieve that simple task that I'm almost about to look elsewhere.
Perhaps someone can help me with this? (Please :) )
CDK - sorry for really late response.
I would use the L4 guitar with the neck pickup selected and pick position close to the neck to get the hollow sound.. The trick with Electri6ity is to record in a sound-on-sound process: for lead work, get your performance down first, then assign a controller to the fret position cc, play back and use the controller to get right up the neck. For chords, similar workflow; this time assign a controller to the strum speed, chords down, then record strum time adjustments, AMT (mod wheel) and other bits.
Finally, if you have a good VST plug in (Amplitube / GR5), get a good tweed amp and stomp compressor goingand spring verb (I haven't experimented with the Amped versions of Electri6ity, but most reviews are favourable).
Jazz guitar is a complex beast to get right - there is no room to hide!
I have a link here to demonstrate the sound to hopefully give you a bit of enthusiasm...
The acoustic guitar in the background is Vir2 Acou6tics - another complete bugger, but worth the aggro - the sounds are A1! Everything else is NI Komplete 9 Ultimate stuff...
Best of luck and let me know how you get on...
