03In depth

Sound, Articulations and Amp Modeling

The core of Ample Guitar RB is a 2.8 GB sampled Rickenbacker 330-style guitar. Its 11 articulations let you move between legato, slides, palm mutes, harmonics and mordents without leaving the instrument. A polyphonic legato and slide smoother helps phrases connect more naturally.

The built-in amp simulator includes classic models from Fender, Marshall, Mesa/Boogie and Roland, with eight microphone options. Because the amp and cabinet stage is part of the instrument, you can shape the tone inside the plugin before adding external processing.

Riffer, Strummer and Tab Workflow

The Riffer engine is built for writing guitar parts in MIDI. It includes a string roll editor, a random riff generator and detailed MIDI control. The Strummer module offers 28 playing styles, humanization settings and rhythm sequencing for chordal patterns.

The Tab Player reads Guitar Pro files and can export the resulting audio. Alternate tunings, capo logic and double guitar support widen the range of voicings and parts you can build.
