03In depth

Guitar Tone and Pickup Combinations

The instrument offers the signature sound of a solid-body electric guitar with three single coil pickups that can be combined. Blending the pickups lets you shape the tone to suit the part, whether you want a bright, cutting line or a rounder, more mellow sound.

Because the instrument is sampled from a real vintage guitar, the tone carries the character of the original model rather than a generic electric guitar preset.

Patterns, Chord Progressions and Playing Options

Electric Mint includes 222 strummed and picked patterns spanning a range of genres. These give you ready-made rhythm guitar parts that you can adapt to your arrangement.

You can also choose from a selection of built-in MIDI chord progressions, or play your own melodies on the keyboard. This makes it useful for sketching ideas quickly or for building a finished guitar part from a starting pattern.
