Expressive Acoustic Guitar Tracks over MIDI!
MusicLab's RealGuitar 6 makes it easy to craft authentic-sounding acoustic guitar tracks without dusting off that old dreadnought. This sample-based virtual instrument realistically imitates the way a guitarist would change fret position on the neck. With it, you can smoothly play up to 104 guitar frets, using just 43 keys of your MIDI controller. RealGuitar 6 also features Guitar Touch technology, which mimics guitar-specific techniques like strumming, plucking, sliding, bending, and muting using standard MIDI controls. RealGuitar version 6 expands your tonal palate with over 200 carefully crafted new sounds, strumming engine authenticity improvements, and DAW compatibility improvements. What's more, you can now use amp simulator plug-ins right inside RealGuitar, plus save and recall presets without leaving the instrument window.

Multi Performance mode for combining guitar techniques
A good guitarist will use numerous techniques while he or she plays. They'll strum, pluck, bend, mute, and more. That's why RealGuitar 6 includes a Multi Performance mode that combines multiple techniques into a single performance layout. You also get 25 new Key Switch FX in chordal modes and a velocity-controllable number of strings in strummed chords. Achieve live control of solo and strum techniques, as well as chord inversions and positions. Add hammer-ons and pull-offs to chords, or spice up your track with a convincing bottleneck slide emulation. Thanks to these powerful performance options and effects, RealGuitar 6 delivers unparalleled realism.
