Most convincing Electric Guitar
I am a newly minted member of a band where I will be singing and playing "filler keys". What app out there has some reasonably convincing electric guitar sound for rhythm/chord/fill stuff?
Comments
To my unguitarist™ ear, garageband and guitarism do a decent job
Leads: Geoshred. Manual Strumming: guitarism. Virtual guitar strumming: virtual guitarist on the desktop.
flo26s' guitar playing...I'm convinced!
Anybody know of something that does clean electric guitar sounds that you can send to an fx box? I mean like really pretty soft electric sounds.
Already tried:
Geoshred
Guitarism
Guitarcapo+
Module
Sampletank
Nothing sounds all that great to me for smooth ambient playing.
I guess I should further clarify/specify I am looking for
Check it out Jam Maestro as well.
To my guitar ears, no software is convinsing(some kontakt libraries do a decent job with certain types of playing, but its not ios), but they might do few sounds than can sound authentic. I think these software guitar things generally just sound like crap(they try to emulate an instrument that cant be properly emulated). Imo you can get much better sounds by using synths that sound bit like guitar, rather than trying to use a bad emulation of a guitar.
As a Hohner Clavinet owner, I feel the same way about every Clavinet emulation I have ever heard. A lot of them are cool sounding on their own, but none sound like a real Clavinet.
Yea, and guitar is even more different because its a stringed instrument, so you often do stuff like slide a string, palm mute, play muted notes, etc that just doesent work with a keyboard in any authentic fashion.
The Hohner Clavinet is not an electronic synth. It is an electro-mechanical keyboard with strings, 2 pickups and an action similar to a clavichord. When a key is depressed, a little rubber hammer mashes a string down on an anvil. It is sort of like doing hammer ons on an electric guitar.
+1 for Guitarism, and I like Yonac's Steel Guitar. It's free at the moment.

A guitar player friend expressed that he didn't know I played guitar after hearing one of my songs. It was actually a Casio CZ-101 through a Rat distortion pedal. As I remember, the Casio patch was based on the factory Synth Bass patch. That was a while ago...details are hazy.
Okay, but it still varies mainly on just how hard the strings are hit, while guitar has other more complex ways of expression as well
I agree.
If you have the bs-16i app there are some decent guitars available for free from my site.

I'd subscribe to this any day...
Maybe someone remembers Snap's I've got the power - according to rumors that riff is a preset from the Roland MT32, the most basic general midi module (through some distortion)
As @anickt suggests, guitar is more attitude than generator to most ears. And the very few ears that can tell the difference don't matter.

Crudebytes "Collosus" electro piano pack w Clavinet. That is all.
Just managed to upload a quick demo on SoundCloud so you can see if any of these freebies might suit...
Sounds are downloadable from https://sites.google.com/site/soundfonts4u/
Awesome thank you!! (Bookmarking)
I listened to the electro piano Clavinet demo sound on their website and thought the sound was very good and usable, but it still did not sound like my genuine Hohner D6 Clavinet to me.
Admittedly, I am a Clavinet snob who will dismiss any sampled Clavinet sound, though, because I know what it's like to play a real one. A big part of the character of a real Clavinet is the super light touch, lightning fast keyboard response. It's difficult to play authentic sounding Clavinet sounds on a weighted keyboard controller. And spring loaded keys aren't the same either.
I've never heard any acoustic piano samples that I think are authentic either. But there are plenty that sound perfectly fine and are wholly useful.
OK. So I have had ZERO luck getting a soundfont into BS-16i. I found an article that said to download GoodReader and use that, however when I tried to "open in", BS-16i was NOT presented as an option in the sharing menu. Luckily I can use it for some large PDFs I have or I would have wasted $7 on it.
Anyone got any ideas? I am pretty good with google but nothing has turned up yet, save opening in GoodReader.
Yes but on stage this will have an impact. Probably not a positive one.
I've always just used the dreaded iTunes interface to dump soundfonts into BS-16i.
in Dhalang MG, there is a physical modelling synthesizer that can be programmed to sound very electric-guitarish. As an individual vibrating object or multiple ones linked together for guitar chords etc. Thrives to be very much like Sculpture in Logic Pro but fully programmable (= can be little complex at first). I used it here on everything except the acoustic drum samples: don't mind the crazy video.
Depends on the audience
True.
Download in Apollo. The "open in" menu will give you BS-16i as an option.
This has worked for me every time with soundfonts from Reuben or any other place.
To load a new SoundFont with Dropbox you can use "Open in....bs-16i". You may need to save it to Dropbox first or in Dropbox use Export, Open in. The other way and the method I usually use is to connect my iPad to a PC and use iTunes... Apps, Documents, Add file.
I agree, it is gorgeous. I also like the Wurly.
