Virtual Guitar Like Never Before!

You're working on a piece of music that needs a guitar line, and everything is coming together except for one minor problem: it's the middle of the night and there's no guitar player you can turn to. You could try to play it yourself, but your guitar chops aren't really up to it, or you use a virtual instrument. Sweetwater Sales Engineers know that fake guitar sounds playing keyboard-style chords don't fool anyone. That's why you need Vir2's Electri6ity, the guitar software instrument that gives you the musical results you need without forcing you the leave the comfort of your keyboard.

Translates your keyboard playing into guitar-appropriate chords and articulations

Utilizing the incredible power of Native Instruments's Kontakt engine, Electri6ity lets you play your keyboard as you normally would, and intelligently adapts to your playing style. As you play, Electri6ity provides appropriate chord voicings, articulations, and subtle nuances, all with unprecedented realism. You've never played a virtual instrument guitar like this — prepare to be totally blown away!

Amazingly advanced algorithms that you can completely ignore

How does it work? We could tell you that each of Electri6ity's eight awesome guitar models use over 24,000 individual 24-bit samples, how these samples contain separate articulations for each fret of each string, covering downstrokes, upstrokes, ghost notes, mute, harmonics, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slide, seamless velocity layers, and on and on — but that would just get confusing. After all, what good are all of these samples if you have to spend more time programming the instrument than playing it? No, the really cool things about Electri6ity are it's super-intelligent Articulation Morphing Technology and Velocity Morphing Technology. These scripting engines, combined with Electri6ity's instant recognition of 2,000 chord fingerings, adapt to your playing style (with only minimal parameter tweaking) to produce absolutely authentic sounding guitar.

Eight iconic guitar types are ready to play

Vir2 recorded each of Electri6ity's samples directly to give you full control over your tone. That means you get complete access to eight different guitars, including a Strat, a Tele, a P90-based model, a Les Paul, and more, as well as an impressive collection of stompbox effects and killer guitar amps. Plus, you get three pickup positions for each guitar. That means that Electri6ity give you all the control you need to get the guitar sound and performance you want, without having to obsess over nuances. And since Electri6ity is powered by the powerful Native Instruments Kontakt engine, it's compatible with VST, AudioUnit, and RTAS (Pro Tools 7 & 8) plug-in formats, as well as a standalone mode that's great for playing live.

Vir2 Electri6ity

I bought this to do basic chunky rhythm parts, nothing fancy, I also own Shreddage 2 from impact soundworks, it is much better, and much cheaper, the fact that Electr6cty does automatic guitar inversions doesn't mean much to me,I need it for basic eighth note rock rhythm stuff, to complement Shreddage and double it, their single note samples arent very inspiring, their demo does not really tell the full story, I would reccomend Shreddage
