We are proud to present the RealEight virtual guitar instrument - the ideal guitar for creating lead, rhythm riff, and even bass tracks in your future rock and metal masterpieces!
RealEight is 8-string sample-based electric guitar virtual instrument.
RealEight provides incredible playability based on easy-to-use keyboard layout as well as the advanced key/pedal/velocity switch system allowing a keyboardist to perform guitar parts with a whole new level of realistic expression.
RealEight covers practically all sounds, articulations, and techniques a professional guitarist can produce on his 8-string electric guitar, including mute, bridge mute, harmonics, pinch harmonics, sliding, scraping, etc...
24-bit high quality dry samples recorded directly from pick-ups let you easily create any desired guitar sound using your favorite amplifier simulator.
RealEight innovations:
Incredibly deep sound covering huge 5-octave note range (8 strings, 24 frets)!Ready-to-use Double Track and Quad Track patches with a single MIDI input
30+ authentic guitar articulations and effects
Advanced Humanize section allowing to add realism to the performance both live and step-recorded in a MIDI track
Bass mode lowering the pitch of all strings to Bass guitar tuning
The unique Floating Fret Position technology, which imitates change of fret position of a guitarist's hand on the neck. This gives you the possibility of playing on up to 200 guitar frets using just 60 keys of a standard keyboard!
