Realitone 'Fingerpick'

Post by Piet De Ridder »

Realitone has released Fingerpick, an acoustic guitar library for Kontakt (KPlayer included).
Fingerpick features a Pattern Player, where the user plays chords in the "green" section of the keyboard, then the Pattern Player automatically plays an authentic fingerpick pattern for that chord. Chords, as well a pattern styles, can be changed on the fly, so complete songs can be created by simply playing chords. MIDI Drag&Drop for the patterns is also supported.
Fingerpick is a multi-sampled instrument, and normal playing is also possible. A 12-String option is also available, as well as an auto-legato feature for hammers/pulls/slides. Capo positions are also selectable, and there are also swing and humanize options.

Features:
PATTERN PLAYER - This is the fun part. It’s addicting, because you can actually create songs, as if you had a real player in front of you, by simply moving from chord to chord on the “green keys.” Fingerpick’s Pattern Player follows you.
When you do, be sure to throw in some “add2″ and sus4″ variations, to spice up your pattern, because that’s what real guitars players do. One of my favorite things is to play this sequence, 2 beats of each: G2, G, Gsus4, G.
Plus we have keyswitches, so you can even switch pattern styles in the middle of your playing. Like I said, it’s addicting!
And when you find a pattern you like, you can Drag&Drop it your sequencer!

AUTO-LEGATO - Guitar players often slide or hammer/pull into a note. We do have a legato keyswitch to make notes legato, but that’s kinda cumbersome. So we also have an “Auto-Legato” switch, which senses when you played a 2nd or minor 2nd interval and makes those legato, since that’s typically what a real player would do.

12-STRING MODE - Yeah, it’s a simulated 12-string, but like with Acoustic Lite, it sounds pretty darn good. Better, in fact, because we added the ability to adjust the detune, as well as where the split point is for octave versus unison courses.

CAPO POSITION - Fingerpickers are always using a capo. Not just to make the chords easier to play, but also because the tone changes as you go up the neck. So we give you that option with Fingerpick.

SWING AND HUMANIZE -Yes and yes. What, you were hoping for more explanation than that? Okay, we have sliders for humanize (both timing and velocity) you can add some slop to the playing to make it sound more like your brother-in-law. And we also have a Swing slider, which lets you adsust from straight 16ths to . . . well . . . swing!

Price: $119.95 - On sale for $79.95 during the introductory release period.
