The Expansive Sound of an 8-string Guitar Via MIDI
MusicLab's RealEight virtual guitar plug-in offers up convincing 8-string electric-guitar sounds you can play from your MIDI controller. You can play chords just as you would if you were playing a virtual piano instrument. RealEight's innovative Floating Fret Position technology gives a realism to your changes and positions on the fretboard — just as a guitarist might transition between them. What's more, you can also easily imitate guitar-specific techniques — strumming, plucking, sliding, bending, and muting — using basic MIDI controls with MusicLab's RealEight virtual guitar plug-in.

Puts a great guitarist inside your computer
Enjoy great-sounding 8-string electric guitar tracks even if you don't play guitar, by using MusicLab's RealEight. This innovative virtual instrument uses guitar samples and special Floating Fret Position technology to achieve realistic guitar tones and chords. As you play notes on your MIDI controller RealEight responds accordingly, adjusting chord shapes the way a guitarist would move about the neck. In fact, you can play up to 140 guitar frets, by using just 46 standard MIDI keys.
Perform with expressive guitar techniques, using a MIDI controller
What makes a good instrumental performance is more than the notes played. Each instrument has techniques and sounds that are unique to the way it is played that really bring the music to life. That's why there is also Guitar Touch technology in RealEight. With it, you can use your MIDI controller's pitch-bend wheel, modulation wheel, sustain pedal, and after touch features to tap into guitar-specific techniques. Perform strumming, plucking, sliding, bending, and muting styles, just as a real guitarist would.
