03In depth

Tone, Articulations and Amp Sound

The core of Ample Guitar TC is a 5.1 GB sampled semi-hollow guitar with separate Finger and Pick libraries. The developer positions the sound as smooth and warm, suited to Jazz Fusion and Blues.

Nine articulations cover sustain, legato, harmonics and palm mute. Polyphonic legato, alternate tunings and expressive capo logic add further control over how a part is played.

The built-in amp simulation includes classic models from Roland, Fender, Marshall and Mesa/Boogie. Each cabinet offers eight mic options with stereo or mono mic control, so you can shape the sound before it reaches the mix.

Riffer, Strummer and Workflow

Riffer is the MIDI side of the plugin. It includes a string roll editor, a Dice pattern generator and a library of riffs to start from. Version 4 adds a Strum Note system that treats the sub-notes of a chord as one editable object, with control over strum time, velocity gradient and legato.

The Strummer module offers 28 playing styles per chord and can export MIDI. Tab Reader supports Guitar Pro files from GP3 to GP8 and can import full guitar tracks with fingering and articulation data. Audio can be exported from your DAW.

The onboard effects include an 8-band EQ, dual compressor, 6-tap echo and IR reverb.
