Fingerpicking done right Not only is Fingerpick sampled so that fingerpicking sounds natural, we included a Pattern Player that makes authentic playing easy. Just play chords on “the green keys,” and the Pattern Player does the rest. A dozen pattern styles to choose from. Designed specifically for the fingerpicking style. But wait, there’s more! With RealiBanjo, we learned that most people have no idea what patterns (rolls) a banjo player would play. We’re guessing it’s the same with acoustic guitar patterns. So we’ve included a Pattern Player with Fingerpick as well. Simply hold chords (almost any chord, including 9ths, dim, aug, sus4, etc.) in the Fingerpick 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! KONTAKT PLAYER INCLUDED! Fingerpick works with the free Kontakt Player.
