Virtual acoustic guitar with ultra Realistic Sound – True Gibson® 1963 Hummingbird sound.
Hummingbird lets you compose powerful and natural acoustic guitar tracks that mimic real-life performance.
Incredible Real Time Playability – Hummingbird SPI (Super Performance Instrument) – With the Hummingbird SPI, you can play ultra-realistic sounding virtual acoustic guitar in real time. You can instantly access different playing techniques without stopping the game and create convincing guitar tracks very quickly.
Single note, emulated two-string dyads (dyads) (minor 2nd, 2nd, minor 3rd, major 3rd, 4th, flat 5th, 5th, # 5th, 6th, 7th, maj7th, octave), sampled real chords (octave, major, minor, 7th, m7, maj7, add9, sus4, 9th, m7 (9), maj7 (9), dim7, aug, open / low chords, etc.), emulated chords (major, minor, 7th, m7, maj7 , add9, sus4, 7sus4, 9th, # 9, m7 (9), maj7 (9), dim, dim7, m7-5, aug, open / low chords, etc.), custom chords (you can create any chords using the User Chord Editor.), Hammer-on and Pull-off in real time, Legato slide in real time, vibrato, trill, tremolo pick, mute and pike sound, Gliss down, natural harmonics, beats, fret noise, pick stop noise, bridge muting noise, release noise, position change noise, special effects, etc.
Neck Monitoring – SPI automatically selects the correct string / fret position based on the situation. You can also change the string manually using the rocker switches. The fretboard monitor visualizes the current fret position / playing technique you are playing.
Smart Instrument Keyswitch with Chord Recognition – You can instantly select an instrument (articulation) using the instrument select key switches. All instruments can be assigned to any key switches, and you can create your own key switch layout. Keyswitches have a chord recognition feature that allows you to select a chord instrument not only by pressing the key to which the chord is assigned, but also by pressing the notes of the chord within the range of the keyswitch. In other words, you don’t need to memorize key switches for chord instruments. Just hold the notes of the chord in the range of the rocker switch and you’re ready to play the chord.
Large number of guitar beat samples – Hummingbird includes more percussion samples (beats, thumps, beats on different parts of the guitar body) that allow you to play and create percussion and rhythmic guitar tracks.
Customizable Strum Key – In addition to a custom chord editor, you can customize how each string plays when you press the Strum keys and regular keys.
- This is not a so-called “arpeggiator”. This is a function that lets you play a specific note (string) of a chord individually.
True Stereo Recording – Samples were recorded with three microphones; a pair of small diaphragm microphones for stereo recording; and one large diaphragm microphone for monaural recording. The Double-Tracking tool is available as a stereo option for a large diaphragm microphone.
Sampled Real Chords – A wide variety of sampled “real” chords will make your guitar tracks very convincing. (octave, major, minor, 7th, m7, maj7, add9, sus4, 9th, m7 (9), maj7 (9), dim7, aug, open / low chords, etc.). Hummingbird includes a huge number of “real” recorded chords (in other words, “pre-recorded” or “pre-played”). You can instantly access different types of guitar chords. The Prominy Guitar Libraries are the only ones that include so many samples of real chords.
Real Chord Emulation – While Hummingbird already includes a huge number of real chord samples, more chords (and more chord shape options for each chord) are available with chord emulation. Our unique recording / programming allows you to get realistic chord sounds, close to the sound of real chord samples, even when you play simulated chords.
minor 2nd-dyad, maj2nd-dyad, minor 3rd-dyad, major 3rd-dyad, 4th-dyad, flat 5th-dyad, 5th-dyad, # 5th-dyad, 6th-dyad, 7th-dyad, maj7th-dyad, octave -dyad, major, minor, 7th, m7, maj7, add9, sus4, 7sus4, 9th, # 9, m7 (9), maj7 (9), dim, dim7, m7 (b5), aug, open / low chords, etc.
Custom Chord – The Custom Chord Editor lets you create your own chord shapes and create any chords you like. Each string is fully customizable, and you can customize the string playback using the Custom Chord Editor. (For example, normal sustain, mute or pick sound, always play an open string regardless of fret position, strumming, tonic string, etc.)
Arpeggio Key – The Arpeggio Key is a dedicated key for each string. When a chord instrument is selected, each note The chord is automatically assigned to the string arpeggio key, so you can play the arpeggio with the keys.
Double-Tracking – In addition to samples recorded in stereo, which reproduce natural stereo sound, Double-Tracking tools are available as another option for obtaining stereo sound. “Double-Tracking” is a technique that is often used when recording guitar tracks. This gives the guitar track a nice widespread stereoisofield and “thick”. With Hummingbird SPI, you can reproduce it very easily by simply downloading the Double-Tracking tools. Identical samples are not played on both channels at the same time. You don’t need a stereo delay or MIDI data setup to simulate double tracking.
Legato Slide / Hammer-on and Realtime Pull-off – With the “Realtime Legato Slide” feature of the Hummingbird using Legato Samples, you can get completely real legato slide performances of the human finger that cannot be played with Pitch Bend Slide Emulation … The Hammer-on and Pull-off samples are also real recorded samples. Legato Slide is available for all instruments in real time, including chord, except for FX and Percussion instruments. Realtime Hammer-on & Pull-off is available for single note instruments.
Automatic Battle Detection – With the SPI automatic battle detection feature, SPI automatically detects the current battle position and determines the correct direction (up or down). There are several combat detection modes, and you can also manually control the direction.
