These newly created EastWest MIDI Guitar Instruments, from producers Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, differ from the current EastWest virtual instruments, which are optimized for keyboards. They have been designed to take advantage of the complex and unique waveforms produced by a guitar’s vibrating strings. These five titles cover a wide range of musical styles and instrument families.
Current Fishman TriplePlay users will notice the EastWest instruments do not have to be loaded six times for each string. EastWest included a system that loads the instruments on all strings at the same time, greatly reducing the computer resources required, and especially if the instrument uses SSL EQ/Compression, Ohmicide multi-band distortion, EastWest Convolution reverb, and/or the EastWest Amp Simulator included in the EastWest PLAY software for each collection. Without this feature some of the more complex instruments would need a super computer to play the instrument. Instead all instruments can now be played on an average system, including laptops. In addition, the EastWest production team, working closely with Fishman's software developers, optimized the instruments for guitar players. Pitch bends, whammy bar, dynamics, etc. all function as normal, and in fact provide a much more organic experience then using a keyboard and mod wheel. The tracking and latency is superb as you can see in the product videos below. The guitar has entered the 21st century with a palette of sounds that are the best available!
