Hi there !
I’m relatively new in the world of composing and I’ve been inspired a lot by the content that I found on internet, including here on Pianobook !
I could not avoid, at some point, to be curious and try to sample one of my instrument. It turns out that I have a Gibson Les Paul Anniversary Edition 25/50 which I thought could be interresting to share to people looking for a realistic guitar sound of the 70/80. The instrument contains so far 4 different “mics” of each note, that can be adjusted via the UI. I also wrote a small script that “mimic” the guitar behavior in the sense that notes by default ring until another note is triggered on the same chord. I’ve arrived now to a first version that I’m quite satisfied with; I wanted to keep a (relatively) small scope such that I could complete it without giving up.
But now that it’s done and I’m not tired of it (rather the contrary !), there are a few improvments that I’m looking at :
– Adding round robins
– Adding velocity layers
– Adding playing style (muted chords i.e.)
– Adding key switches to be able to play on lower parts of the guitar – for the moment, I’ve only sampled the higher notes since they cover the whole range :

The point of my post here is to ask to the community member : if you were to download such an instrument, what of above improvment would interrest you more ? 🙂
If you want to have a look at what the instrument looks like now : https://twitter.com/maximevdamme/status/1346392612421443585
Have a good day,
