Description
RealGMS - the next breakthrough in MusicLab's acclaimed line of virtual guitars. Modeled after the rare gem in the guitar world — the Godin Multiac Spectrum SA — RealGMS faithfully reproduces the electro-acoustic steel string magic of this exceptional instrument. Played by legends like Roger Waters, Steve Stevens, and Phil Palmer while performing with 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 all the beauty of the Spectrum sound. It delivers diverse sonic textures thanks to unique body design, providing focused sound, crisp transients that are perfect for mixing and mastering. With two widely spaced pickups of different types, RealGMS offers a wide array of tonal options. The natural phase interaction between these pickups gives the sound a lively and organic feel.
By blending in the additional sounds of a 12-string guitar recorded through the Roland SY-1000, RealGMS adds even more depth and richness to your tone, creating a lush, full-bodied sound ideal for both rhythm and lead playing. With our new advanced strum sampling technique, RealGMS offers unprecedented authenticity and an extended dynamic range, bringing your strumming to life like never before.
Experience the unmistakable richness that has graced stages worldwide with RealGMS and explore an entirely new dimension of creative expression.
Ways of using
There are three ways of using RealGMS virtual instrument.
- Intuitive keyboard layout allows Live/MIDI Keyboard performance with numerous articulations, noises, guitar-specific tricks, strumming and finger picking techniques.
- Any guitar performance produced on a MIDI keyboard can be recorded or directly programmed in a MIDI track of any DAW.
- Built-in Song sequencer designed to arrange up to the entire song by simply inserting chord symbols and selecting pre-recorded guitar rhythm patterns.
Sounds and noises
We've carefully and meticulously recorded high quality samples of each fret of all guitar strings. RealGMS sample library includes not only sustain sounds, but also other guitar-specific sounds and noises with dynamics and nuances an experienced performer can get from his/her instrument.
Guitar FX Processor
Our experts have thoroughly examined guitar tones used in most popular songs played by greatest guitarists and came up with more than two hundred authentic presets which sound similar to what they heard, ready to be used in your next song. We recommend to use open-source Guitarix.vst virtual guitar amp (included with RealGMS installation) as a robust and versatile solution to use these presets. Combining a virtual guitar and an FX processor allows you to store a guitar sound and an FX processor preset at the same time, which a real time saver.
Techniques and control
An authentic sounding guitar part cannot be recorded by using samples on their own, but requires a bunch of guitar-specific techniques, which are simulated in RealGMS. Whether you are playing live or programing a DAW, these techniques are controllable by using special gestures, key switches, key velocity, modulation wheel, sustain pedal, key aftertouch, MIDI CC, DAW parameter automation, and any combinations of these.
Chord voicing
Guitar chord voicing is very unique depending on guitar construction and is absolutely necessary to reproduce in order to achieve authentically sounding chordal parts. Our patented technology provides accurate reproduction of guitar chord voicing automatically for 30 chord types in all existing inversions, extensions and alterations.
Rhythm Patterns
In order to record an authentic accompaniment track, most session guitarists carefully study characteristic rhythm parts for the required style. We created a huge rhythm library consisting of 1250 patterns. It can be easily used for quickly creating guitar accompaniment parts in the DAW or in our internal Song sequencer.
Realism
Sophisticated humanization algorithms vary samples, technique and control parameters, timing, chord strum aspects to reach best possible realism in guitar tracks. That helps you bring a digitally simulated guitar performance maximally close to an analog recording of a best-in-class session guitarist.
