The Definitive Orchestral Sample Library for MIDI Guitar
Since its inception, MIDI technology has been dominated by keyboardists. EastWest rectifies that situation with their MIDI Guitar Instruments Series, finally giving guitarists access to some of the best virtual instruments on the planet. After years of testing MIDI guitar systems, the Fishman TriplePlay Wireless MIDI Guitar Controller, with its superior tracking and vanishingly low latency, was the catalyst that finally caused EastWest to declare that MIDI guitar had indeed arrived — a paradigm shift of major proportions. Working closely with Fishman, East West re-programmed instruments and made adjustments to the software specifically for the TriplePlay. The result is nothing short of astonishing. If you're a guitarist who's been frustrated by MIDI in the past, take it from Sweetwater: you simply have to check out the MIDI Guitar Series.

A brave new world for guitarists
We are mightily impressed with EastWest's MIDI Guitar Instruments. Why? For starters, unlike software designed for keyboard deployment, this software exploits the uniqueness of the complex waveforms generated by the guitar's string vibrations, so everything works smoothly and synergistically. You simply play guitar; no special techniques or compensation required. And the instruments sound beautiful and natural. MIDI Guitar Instruments opens up a whole new world for guitarists, many of whom have wrestled with decades-old tech. Now, you can compose anything on your native instrument — instead of hunting and pecking on a keyboard. Designed expressly for guitarists and the Fishman TriplePlay, MIDI Guitar Instruments is an incredible, complete virtual library with five volumes produced by Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix: Orchestra, Ethnic and Voices, Soundscapes, Guitar and Bass, and Keyboards and Percussion.
A complete symphony orchestra under your baton

And once you pinch yourself to make sure you're not dreaming, you realize you've got a complete symphony orchestra under your baton — and the baton is your guitar!
