#MUSICLAB REALGUITAR MANUAL PATCH#
Maybe a Fab Four owner can suggest a patch to try for 12-string strumming (good round robin implementation auto-chord not required, but alternating pick direction is essential). Oh, it occurs to be that Fab Four probably has at least one 12-string guitar, but I don't know which patches to try, and can't afford the time it would take to crash Digital Perfomer up to thirty times in a row while trying them all (I can't run the Play products in standalone mode at all at the moment, which is rather bizarre as one would think they are less resource-hungry). Of course some of that could be the fault of the demos, so feedback from actual owners is welcome. Probably Vir2's Acoustic Legends HD library should be considered as it covers just about every type of acoustic guitar there is, but the demos did not impress me due to lack of connectivity between notes (unrealistic phrasing) and especially the timbre. But also because I needed mandolin, banjo, and jazz guitar (though I now prefer the banjo in Goliath as having more realistic timbre, and have an excellent standalone mandolin library from precisionsound). I had passed on MusicLab's RealGuitar in favour of CHG last year due to the latter's writeups saying the chord voicing is even more advanced than RealGuitar, but in practice I have had to voice the chords myself (no big deal). Unfortunately, as with other AAS products, I feel there is still more research needed before the product produces realistic timbre. I did try the demo of Strumm Acoustic from Applied Acoustics Systems tonight, and the strumming seems quite natural (unlike Chris Hein Guitars or Quantum Leap Goliath - though bumping either of those up an octave at least gets me close to the desired timbre especially Goliath's Washburn acoustic guitar).
There are other aspects of how RealGuitar operates that might lend to more realism for 12-string even more than for 6-string, but the demo version of the program (which I am just about to try, once I reboot) is 6-string only. layering two 6-string samples one octave apart.
My guess is that MusicLab's RealGuitar is the best option, as according to some magazine reviews, it is the only one that actually samples a 12-string guitar vs. It is easy to find half-decent 6-string acoustic guitars in sample libraries, but for some reason 12-strings are quite elusive. While revisiting an older project tonight, I was reminded that I never found a 12-string guitar source to replace my old workstation standby from the Yamaha Motif.
