GarageBand's virtual guitar provides 4 styles to automatically play the guitar. 3 different pickings and 1 plectrum rhythm style. Yes a real guitar has got limitations, you can't blow it as you can blow woodwinds, but you can play a guitar by more than 4 styles and you can even play a guitar sample by a keyboard in more than just 4 styles. This is the limitation I mentioned. OTHO and I explained that too, to get what those 4 GarageBand styles provides by using a DAW as Qtractor, you might need to play some sound samples with 6 individual samplers, one for each string, to e.g. simulate a pull of by using a pitch bender for just one string, another guitar sample sound might not need that much effort, when doing on kind of pull off at a specific time, for s special style. IOW the limitation of an instrument has nothing to do with the limitation provided by patterns that fake natural playing techniques. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
