One Of The Most Sought After Guitar Instruments Ever!
The Fender© Stratocaster© electric guitar sampled for this library features
3 single coil pickups
(bridge, middle and neck) that give it a very unique and tweakable
tone. We were able to sample all three pickups separately and give
access not only to the
5 positions available on the real instrument, but you can also control each volume separately and even mix the 3.
It comes with a set of
10 very realistic effects and
8 different amps
modelled after most of the best guitar amps on which you can choose
exactly how you set the microphones, providing you with all the
necessary tools to shape its sound exactly like you want.
It features Acoustic Samples’ powerful
strum engine, pattern maker and
song builder
available in their other guitar libraries like the Sunbird or the GD-6,
making the Strategy library the perfect tool to create accompaniments
or solos.
This library has been sampled very deeply, all frets of all strings
with upstrokes, downstrokes, round robins, releases, staccatos, mutes,
palm mutes, hand blocks, slides, hammer ons, pull offs, retriggers,
fretnoises and other articulations.
All of this detail allows you to reproduce the real playing of a guitar player, and easily.
There are basically
4 modes, the
solo mode that allows you to play melodies, the
chord mode that helps playing strums or picking, the
patterns mode that does all of the strumming or picking for you and the
MIDI mode that allows you to use your preferred midi guitar controller.
It is a huge 10.61GB Fender© Stratocaster© electric guitar library built for the
UVI Workstation (free).
Easily Create Super-Realistic Strumming & Chord Patterns
Strategy can strum in various ways, up, down, muted, in legato and
allows finger picking. Everything is modeled after meticulously
analyzing thousands of real chords played on guitar. Every aspect of the
strumming engine can be tweaked to achieve the sound you want.
The
chord recognition engine helps convert any chord
you play on your keyboard to a real guitar voicing. Recognizing a chord
is made through a database of thousands of standard chords, and you can
edit every chord or even add new ones.
The
chord hammers feature lets you play left hand hammer ons and pull offs while strumming or picking.
The
Chord Mode can be set in two positions,
- The Guitar mode that separates the notes selection
from the triggers. So pressing a chord with the left hand only makes the
soft sounds that your left hand would make on a real guitar and you
need to trigger the chords or the single strings with the right hand.
- The Piano mode will trigger the chords as soon as
you press a chord, the upstrokes and downstrokes are automatic depending
on the position in the current bar.
When you play a chord on your keyboard, our engine will recognize it
and display its name and the current voicing on the small panel above
the neck on the interface. You can assign any voicing to it using the
voicing menu.

Program Realistic Guitar Patterns in Under a Minute
The patterns mode is very similar to the chord mode, the chord
recognition engine works the same way, but this time the triggers are
not simple strums anymore. They are a set of patterns that you can loop,
adapt to the tempo or the metrics, change the velocity in real time
using a controller, synch to your host, and add groove to.
You can choose from a large selection of patterns or create your own
using the pattern maker and assign them to each trigger key to create a
full song in a few clicks.
You can assign
13 different patterns of your choice to
13 different notes.
Clicking on one of the keys on the interface will launch the pattern,
triggering another one will stop the first one and start the new one.
You can also trigger the patterns from the keyboard using the notes from
C4 to C5. By default releasing the keys will stop the pattern. The
velocity at which you press the key will determine the velocity of the
whole pattern.
You can now delete any pattern from the list by clicking on
Edit pattern list which will open a small window in which you will be able to select any pattern and delete it.

Make Strumming and Picking Patterns of Infinite Size
Creating realistic guitar patterns has never been easier. You can create
strumming, picking, or
finger picking patterns in seconds and even make them of an infinite size.
We even made the sharing of these patterns easy, just save them and send them to other users, the database can only grow!
The Pattern Maker is an improved step sequencer made especially for
guitar strumming. Each fret represents a quarter note and you can either
add a whole chord or just a single string (if the
link icon is unselected). If multiple events are in the same step, they will be strummed following our strum engine parameters.
You can create as many pattern pages as you want, giving you access
to many variations by just pressing one key. Of course you can
copy the content of one page and
paste it on another to make slight variations,
reset a page or the whole pattern. The size of the patterns is virtually infinite.
You can also
import the factory presets and modify them as you want,
save your patterns to your HD,
load them and preview or
add them to the pattern list. Once you click the “
Add to pattern”
button, the pattern you created will appear at the bottom of the
patterns list in the pattern panel and you will be able to use it on one
of the 13 keys.

Compose Full Songs With Ease Using the “Song Builder”
The song builder panel is the feature that will let you compose songs
extremely quickly. Sometimes playing a series of chords can be
complicated, especially if you are not an advanced keyboardist. The song
builder allows you to decide which chord will be triggered when
selecting only one note.
Included are a selection of presets to give song ideas, chord
progressions, modes or chord types. Combine this with the patterns and
pressing two keys at the same time is enough to play a song.
The
song builder is available in chord mode or in patterns mode.
You can use
set all chords using the first menu, it will set the same chord to all of the 12 notes.
The
song presets are a set of predefined songs with
the right chord progressions, you can change the root if needed and the
progression is detailed under song info.
The
mode presets is a list of most music modes and their corresponding chord progressions, you can change the root if needed.
You can also do this manually, on the keys, you can change the type
of each chord along with it’s root. So it makes it easy to play songs
that have different chords for the same root note.
When selecting one of the presets, some keys will appear in red and
the corresponding chord will be a “5th”. This means that there is no
“valid” chord for this note in the selected song or scale. You can of
course set each chord manually by clicking on them and selecting it’s
kind, even starting from a preset.
