Every key plays a full chord in the chosen KEY and CHORD STYLE. The white keys are the chords of the scale, the black keys add colour chords, and the octave picks the position on the neck.
Play your own voicings on a MIDI keyboard: the guitarist turns them into playable grips, and single notes into lines with hammer-ons and slides. With OCTAVES single notes become thumb octaves.
DOWN, STRUM, PICK and BLOCK play when you press a key. COMP, CHARLESTON, BOSSA, TRAVIS, BALLAD, DRAG, WALK, BELLS and CHOP keep playing in time while you hold a chord: here at the TEMPO setting, in the plug-in with your DAW.
Pitch bend (±2 semitones) and the mod wheel work like a vibrato bar on all strings; leave them alone and nothing changes. CC 11 (expression) is a volume pedal between guitar and amp. Space works as the sustain pedal.
STEEL under GUITAR turns the guitar into a lap steel in C6 tuning, played with a bar. Chord changes slide, single notes glide into each other and long notes at the end of a phrase sometimes fall off, with bar vibrato (VIBRATO, deeper with the mod wheel) and contact noise on the wound strings (SQUEAK). All by itself, no keyswitches.
PLAYABILITY sets how often it slides. PEDAL bends single strings into the next chord, like a pedal steel.
The SPACE knob adds a long, dark hall for pads, with a tail of up to 18 s. The SPACE tab adds SPRING (TANK sets the decay, DWELL how hard the tank is driven; above 5 it drips), TREM (amp tremolo), ECHO (tape echo in time with TEMPO), SNOW (the tail slowly rises an octave) and FREEZE: hold the sustain pedal or Space to freeze the hall and play over it.
CHORUS is a slow bucket-brigade chorus on the amp, DRONE adds sympathetic strings tuned to the KEY.
Under GUITAR: SWELL fades notes in like a volume pedal, SUSTAIN lets held notes ring on, and you choose the pickup (HUMBUCKER or P-90) and the strings (FLATWOUND or ROUNDWOUND).
The DETAIL tab adds what a real player does between the notes. REGRIP plays chord changes as a sequence: common notes stay held, the other fingers let go one by one and the new ones land just before the stroke, so a hard change lands a few ms late (more with LOOSE). GHOST keeps the strumming hand moving when you let go, now and then with a muted scratch. RELEASE adds the dull plop and skin click of a finger leaving the fret.
PICK models the pick contact: it scrapes from the first touch, hard strokes push shorter and the hand sits a little differently every time, so no two strokes sound the same. PICKUP HUM, MICROPHONIC and RATTLE add mains hum (it drops while your hands touch the strings), a microphonic pickup and buzzing hardware.
NOISE FX at the top switches every background noise at once: fireplace, wind and room tone, ocean waves, breathing and chair, vinyl crackle, tape hiss, amp and pickup hum. The guitar's own sounds stay.
EASY shows what you need to play; ADVANCED adds the body and strum knobs and all switches. Each switch under GUITAR, HANDS, DETAIL, ROOM and SPACE works on its own, so you can hear what it adds; LOOSE sets how loose the player is.
Four groups: Jazz & Swing, Lofi & Chill, Pads & Ambient and World Christmas (Hawaii, Scandinavia, Japan, Italy, Ukraine, Australia, Nashville). Hawaii Christmas, Waikiki Steel Melody and Bondi Beach Steel take you to the beach; the ocean waves there are real beach recordings.
A MIDI keyboard works in Chrome and Edge (Web MIDI); the browser may ask for permission first, and inside an embedded frame it may be blocked. PENDULUM needs the DAW's grid and only acts in the plug-in; FEEL acts here only in the patterns.
