Available for download, Guitarist from Sugar Bytes is a virtual instrument giving you the sound of a convincing electric guitar replete with amp, cabinet, wah pedals, and more. Separating this instrument from other guitar soundalikes, Guitarist turns the guitar itself into a 16-step sequencer for you to trigger by playing notes, different styles, arpeggiations, and more. Choose from stock chords, or build your own chord shapes, which you can save in the user panel.An Animations page enables more customization with a human feel, essentially allowing you to enrich chords with harmonic variations. An Action Section, on the other hand, lets you loop parts instantly, or dampen/deaden notes.The software offers three distinct guitars, recorded with 2000 samples. Enable round-robin to foster a feeling of realism in repeated notes. When you’ve got the sound you want, process it through two different effect sections each loaded with processors that add color and character.This software is available for Mac and Windows operating systems. It can operate in VST2, AU, and AAX formats, as well as standalone.
