MusicLab – RealGMS for WiN

RealGMS is the next breakthrough in MusicLab’s renowned line of virtual guitars. Modeled after a rare gem in the guitar world, the Godin Multiac Spectrum SA, RealGMS accurately reproduces the magic of the steel-string electroacoustic of this exceptional instrument. Played by legends such as Roger Waters, Steve Stevens, Phil Palmer and Eric Clapton, the Godin Multiac Spectrum SA is known for its versatile tonal capabilities, making it a favorite for both stage and studio work.

RealGMS captures the beauty of the Spectrum’s sound. It delivers a variety of sonic textures thanks to its unique body design, delivering a focused sound with clear transients that are ideal for mixing and mastering. Featuring two widely spaced pickups of different types, RealGMS offers a wide range of tonal possibilities. The natural phase interaction between these pickups gives the sound a lively and organic feel.

By mixing in additional 12-string guitar sounds recorded via a Roland SY-1000, RealGMS adds even more depth and richness to your tone, creating a lush, full-bodied sound that’s perfect for both rhythm and lead playing. Featuring new cutting-edge string sampling technology, RealGMS delivers unprecedented authenticity and expanded dynamic range, bringing your strings to life like never before.

Experience the unmistakable richness of RealGMS that has graced stages around the world and discover a whole new dimension of creative expression.

WAYS TO USE

• There are three ways to use the RealStrat virtual instrument.
• The intuitive keyboard layout allows you to play in LIVE/MIDI KEYBOARD PERFORMANCE mode using numerous articulations, noises, guitar-specific techniques, string and finger playing techniques.
• Any guitar performance created on the MIDI keyboard can be recorded or directly programmed into a MIDI track of any DAW.
• The built-in song sequencer allows you to arrange up to an entire song simply by inserting chord symbols and selecting pre-recorded guitar rhythm patterns.

SOUNDS AND NOISE

We have carefully and meticulously recorded high-quality dry samples of every fret of every string directly from the Stratocaster picks, which will allow you to easily create any guitar sound you want using your favorite amp simulator. The RealStrat sample library includes not only sustain sounds, but also other guitar-specific sounds with the dynamics and nuances that an experienced player can get from their instrument.

GUITAR FX PROCESSOR

Version 6 supports external guitar FX processors, which are essential for creating a realistic guitar part. Our experts carefully studied the guitar tones used in the most popular songs performed by the greatest guitarists and created over two hundred authentic presets that sound just like them and are ready to use in your next song. We recommend using the open source Guitarix.vst virtual guitar amp as a reliable and versatile solution for using these presets. The combination of a virtual guitar and an FX processor allows you to save a guitar sound and an FX processor preset at the same time, which is a huge time saver.

TECHNIQUE AND CONTROL

An authentic sounding guitar part cannot be recorded using samples alone, but requires a whole host of guitar-specific techniques that are modeled in RealStrat. Whether you are playing live or programming a DAW, these techniques can be controlled using special gestures, key switches, key velocity, modulation wheel, sustain pedal, key aftertouch, MIDI CC, DAW parameter automation, and any combination thereof.

CHORD VOICES

Guitar chord voicings are very unique depending on the guitar design and are absolutely essential for playback in order to achieve authentic sounding chord parts. Our proprietary technology provides accurate automatic reproduction of guitar chord voicings for 30 chord types in all existing inversions, extensions and changes.

RHYTHMIC PATTERNS

In order to record authentic accompaniment, most session guitarists carefully study the characteristic rhythm parts for the desired style. We have created a huge rhythm library consisting of 1250 patterns. It can be easily used to quickly create guitar accompaniment parts in a DAW or in our internal Song sequencer.

REALISM 

Sophisticated humanization algorithms vary samples, technique and control parameters, timing, aspects of the chord string to achieve maximum realism in guitar tracks. This allows a digital guitar performance to be as close as possible to an analog recording of the best session guitarist.
