Ample Sound has announced a new member of its guitar
instrument series: Ample Guitar M.
AGM is recorded on the Martin D-41 acoustic
guitar, with 3842 dry samples and a total size of 5.61GB. Original samples have been
recorded as 24bit 44.1khz stereo. Natural sustain and resonating sounds of the guitar are
unadulterated. No looping samples.
The samples are categorized in two banks:
Finger and Picking.
As with other Ample Guitar instruments, AGM is also
featured with the following functionalities and techniques: Hammer On & Pull Off, Legato
Slide up & down, Slide in Below & Slide out Downwards, Palm Mute, Natural Harmonic,
Popping 9 guitar techniques, Legato at random length, pitch & poly.All techniques can be
played in Legato mode, even when strumming.
By using real strumming samples
with customized chord, rhythm and tempo, AGM Strummer combines the advantages of both
sample-based and simulation strumming techniques with following features:
-Chord detection system supporting inversions - Optimized for keyboard players, every
inversion of every chord is mapped to a different guitar position -14 Strum notes +
28 playing modes for each chord -Strumming Legato with any techniques; -Mute
Depth -4 humanization settings.
AGM follows a rigorous logic to trigger
fingering sounds automatically, and mix them into the resulting sounds. AGM simulates the
resonating method of a physical acoustic guitar, by extracting the resonating signal out
from a normal guitar sample, and then plays it back when users are playing AGM.
AGM provides 2 Stereo and 2 Mono sound modes natively, which simulates different
retrieval of the sounds collected from the recording microphones. The microphone volumes
and sound width are adjustable under lossless quality.
Other features:
Velocity Layer Adjustment. Open String First - playing special chords without
keyswitch. Poly Legato - 9 techniques at random length & pitch & poly. Real
Doubling Guitars. CPS(Customized Parameters Setting). Each Cycle & Rhombic
Sampling Modeling - Separate sample cycle for each note and velocity layers. Original
Overall Start Time. Double Keyswitch - Switch 2 techniques via velocity layers. Poly Repeater.

Chord switching will be fixed in the 12th chord selection box. 3. Fixed a bug when

Ample Sound updates AGM & AGT to v1.1.0 for Win & Mac
AGM &
AGT v1.1.0 changes:
Alternate Tuner: Turning the 6 tuners on the head allows
user to change the tune of corresponding strings up to 2 semitones down.The tuners are
fully compatible with all solo and strumming techniques and all articulations.
Keyboard Mode: Multiple notes now can be played simultaneously on one string
without automatic hammer on /pull off, which enables the software to be played like a
simple keyboard instrument.
New Installer: Refined the software
property/settings file, so as to fix a former writing permission bug.
I have to admit, am very impressed, but I have been with other similar products. I think I
am on my 3rd piece of acoustic guitar software and still doesn't 'cut it' This applies to
both VSTi and Kontakt 5 sampler versions

I have had my eye firmly fixed on this for a few days now, since becoming aware of it.
Will definitely try out the demo as think the demos sound amazing.
Although it might be considered naff
these days, I use the old Steinberg/Wizoo Virtual Guitarist. I use this because all I want
is some stock strummed patterns, just something to provide a 'bed' for some chord
sequences I might want to try out.
Does Ample Guitar have anything like, yes I
realise there are 'strums' built but are there presets like Virtual Guitarist with the
downstroke upstroke patterns?

Yes there are some pre-made patterns with up and down strokes,
But not as much as Steinberg VG. The good thing is you can make them.
