CHORDS

Not limited to specific strumming patterns or rhythms - you play in what you like. When one of the Chord Switches is engaged two sections of the Keyboard open up - one for Down Strums one for Up Strums.

You can choose from Bar Chords, Open Chords and Power Chords

"Free Chord Play" - Simply use the top end of the Keyboard to select the type of Chord you want then play in the Root Notes as you like. This is a simple, flexible and naturally intuitive way of playing Chords. If you can tap out simple rhythms with your left and right hands then you can easily play Chords on our Guitars.

We also have a section of the Keyboard for what we call "Mute Strums". These are muted percussive strums. These can be used to punctuate your rhythmic Chord playing to funk up your vamps.

"Speed and Emphasis" - Easily control Strum Speed and Note Emphasis (bring out high or low Notes of each Chord) with simple dial controls.

CHORD LIST

AUTO HAMMER ON / PULL OFF

Auto Hammer-On/ Pull-Off allows you to automatically have Hammer-On or Pull-Off Samples sounded just by playing overlapping Notes. Notes overlap - it’s a Hammer On. Notes don’t and it’s a normal picked Note. You can select the Note Range (in semitones) that Hammer-Ons / Pull-Offs will occur. Auto Hammer / Pull gives great realism without all the Key-switching.

TREMOLANDO

Switch this on for rapid note picking. You adjust the speed - the instrument will randomly allocate a note from the appropriate articulations group to give a human fast picked sound.

VIBRATO

There is a dedicated section for controlling multi-LFO based vibrato. This can be continuously adjusted in real-time for natural vibrato. Deep Steel Acoustic Guitar also responds to pitch wheel movements which can be used for string bends and vibrato. Pitch Bend Range is Customisable up to + / - 12 semitones.

EFFECTS UNITS

Deep Steel is supported by several built in Effects Units - Customised for the instrument

You also have the option to unload any Articulation Groups you don't need if you want to reduce the RAM footprint of the instrument.

RANDOM FRET NOISE CONTROLS

TREBLE & BASS CONTROLS

Natural Harmonics can be automatically played (without Key-switching) easily by playing soft (low Velocity) Notes. You can select a Velocity Range below which Natural Harmonics will sound when a Key is played. The Natural Harmonics Articulation also has its own Key-switch should you prefer to use that.

All the Samples in Deep Steel were recorded with a certain amount of Pick sound (approx. 152 ms) that happens before the actual Note starts. Use the Offset to change how much of this is heard. Change the Velocity sensitivity of the Instrument to suit your music.

In lots of styles of Guitar playing Sliding Up before playing a Note and Sliding Down the Fret board after a Note are common ways of adding expression and character to a phrase. You can adjust the lengths of each of these Articulations to suit each phrase you are playing.

Deep Steel comes with a Tempo-synced Volume stutter Gate. This acts like a tempo timed tremelo effect. Choose volume gating rates from 1/16th beat up to 4 beats (2 Triplet options available).

TEMPO-SYNCED VOLUME STUTTER GATE

Fret squeaks are part of acoustic guitar playing. Deep Steel has a section dedicated to playing random Fret Noises. You can control how often they occur and how loud they are. There is a separate Key-switched Fret Noise Articulation but the Auto-function here allows you to forget about them and concentrate on just playing the Instrument.

There are two broad EQ controls to help you sit Deep Steel into your mix. These two Dials control a combination of broad bell EQs.
