Fender Stratocaster® is and has always been the most popular electric guitar since its inception in 1954. Its unique sound is beloved by many of the world’s top guitarists and has been used on countless historical recordings across all genres of music.
The sample-based RealStrat virtual instrument faithfully reproduces the sound of a Stratocaster®, both in terms of sound and playability. Our cutting-edge technology gives users the freedom to create everything from simple string techniques to the most complex solos.
RealStrat 6 is a two-piece combo: REALSTRAT STANDARD – our original RealStrat model with many new features, fully compatible with the previous version of RealStrat, and REALSTRAT ELITE – the debut of our new set of samples recorded from each of the 3 Stratocaster pickups, with four patches and two settings options for each.
HOW TO USE:
There are three ways to use the RealStrat virtual instrument.
The intuitive keyboard layout allows you to play in LIVE/MIDI KEYBOARD PERFORMANCE mode, using multiple articulations, noises, guitar-specific techniques, strings and finger playing techniques.
Any guitar performance created on a MIDI keyboard can be recorded or directly programmed into the MIDI track of any DAW.
The built-in song sequencer allows you to arrange up to an entire song by simply inserting chord symbols and selecting pre-recorded guitar rhythm patterns.
SOUNDS AND NOISE:
We’ve carefully and meticulously recorded high-quality dry samples of every fret of every string directly from Stratocaster picks, allowing you to easily create any guitar sound you want using your favorite amp simulator. The RealStrat sample library includes not only sustain sounds, but also other guitar-specific sounds with the dynamics and nuances that an experienced player can get from their instrument.
GUITAR FX PROCESSOR:
Version 6 supports external guitar FX processors, which are very important for creating a realistic guitar part. Our experts have carefully studied the guitar tones used in the most popular songs performed by the greatest guitarists and created over two hundred authentic presets that sound just like them, ready to use on your next song. We recommend using the open source Guitarix.vst virtual guitar amplifier as a reliable and versatile solution for using these presets. The combination of a virtual guitar and an FX processor allows you to save a guitar sound and an FX processor preset at the same time, which saves a lot of time.
TECHNIQUE AND CONTROL:
An authentic-sounding guitar part cannot be recorded using samples alone, but requires a number of guitar-specific techniques that are modeled in RealStrat. Whether you’re playing live or programming a DAW, these techniques can be controlled using special gestures, key switches, key velocity, modulation wheel, sustain pedal, key aftertouch, MIDI CC, DAW parameter automation, and any combination thereof.
CHORD SONING:
Guitar chord voicing is very unique depending on the design of the guitar and is absolutely essential to playback in order to achieve authentic sounding chord parts. Our patented technology provides accurate, automatic guitar chord voicing for 30 chord types across all inversions, extensions, and changes.
RHYTHMIC PATTERNS:
In order to record authentic accompaniment, most session guitarists carefully study the characteristic rhythm patterns for the desired style. We have created a huge rhythm library consisting of 1250 patterns. It can be easily used to quickly create guitar accompaniment parts in your DAW or our internal Song sequencer.
REALISM:
Sophisticated humanization algorithms vary samples, technique and control parameters, timing, and chord string aspects to achieve maximum realism in guitar tracks. This allows the digital guitar performance to be as close as possible to the analog recording of the best session guitarist.
