#USING THE SAME BPM PATTERNS SAMPLETANK 3 MANUAL#
I did a bit of checking the user manual for SampleTank (IK Multimedia), and it appears that you can record a real instrument save it as a WAVE file and then import it to SampleTank, where you can create your own user-defined sampled sounds. Thanks! dcuny Posts: 26 Joined: Mon 8:37 am

Although it still sounds mechanical, you can clearly tell the difference between the two types of strums. It's also a sound that's used frequently with the guitar, but the strum is the more characteristic (and frequently used) sound.įor example, this is a MIDI "strummed" guitar, with up and down strums. In contrast, an arpeggio spreads out the attack of the notes over the duration of the note. The upstrum is also typically play more lightly than the downstrum, because (1) it's played on strong beats, (2) it's physically easier to play a louder downstroke, and (3) it helps differentiate the two strokes. The strum then rings for the remainder of the note's duration. This gives the up strum a slightly brighter sound. On the up strum, the guitarist will often leave out the bottom strings, although they'll continue to ring from the prior stroke. The fingers or plectrum brush up or down the strings, so there's a slight gap between the sounding of the notes. The "strum" is a quick attack at the beginning of the note. Without it, I'd never want to use the NOTION guitar because it screams "sampled guitar". Otherwise, the guitar playback sounds very mechanical and wrong.
