This makes them much more musical and realistic when you play live. (A few of these are in the free Sonic that comes with Cubase) Unlike nearly all of the other guitar strummiing engines, you can change chords instantly, rather than being limited to the next beat or measure. HALion has some of the best auto-strumming and picking you can find, with more options than you will find anywhere else in their FlexPhrasers. The strumming and picking part is not the best thing about them. But in my opinion, they are not the best available for auto-strumming, if you are playing live. If your idea of strumming is alternating strums yourself, then any good guitar, by OTS or AmpleSound will work great. For acoustic guitar, I want a characterful up-front sound, which is why I ended up settling on Ample's. Orange Tree has these things, and - as with Ample - has a setting for how loud fret noises are if at all, but I find OT's noises are more repetitive and don't sound so integral to the sound so I tend to turn them off.įor the electric basses I'm happy to have both OT's roundwound and Ample's ABP, precisely because the former (with fret noises off) is less intrusive and the latter is more characterful, and I'll want different things from a bass depending on context. (Indie/folk is probably a reasonably accurate description of the uses I tend to put the acoustic to.)ĮDIT: The Ample Sound guitars and basses sound more immediate to me, like, something to do with the incidental sounds and subtle scrapes etc (although it may also be to do with how they're miked, I don't know enough technically to explain it). I love Orange Tree's electric guitars but personally didn't get on with the sound of their acoustic "Songwriter" guitar. Their AGM acoustic (which has a free version AGML to give you an idea of how it sounds) is my preferred acoustic.
