Guitar seems to be the final frontier of instruments to emulate. Even AI has a horrific time figuring out the attack/decay concept. It reminds me of the animation based nature of Madden.
Most mainstream pop tracks are made with this kind of software (Ujam, Native Instruments etc) and people don't see the difference. This is just a review but if you add the right effects, good automations, timing...well basically if you know what you're doing with a DAW (and most people just don't), then you get great results...a non musician and many musicians won't be able to guess. I even know guitarists who thought it was a software playing when it was actually a real guitar...so...
If you want to use instrument mode and play everything simultaneously, then at least 4 octaveS midi controller, but you can play the chords in and then the patterns.
I don’t get it. It reminds me of old Madden games where he’d say, “Number…23 was brought down on the tackle by…number…52.” I’ve used UJAM Amber, Ample, Apple, GeoShred, etc. This is what I think is the issue- On guitar we always keep our right hand moving naturally leading to strums of random open notes or mutes. This creates a cohesive rhythm of attack and release. These sound like beginners who play ‘Teen Spirit’ and stop the right hand. They record it. Then Quantize and compress the track. I’ll have to ask my genius coding buddy what would cause this issue. He teaches vehicles to recognize traffic lights, so I wonder if he can teach a software to ‘play the guitar’ not ‘emulate a guitar being played’.
Awesome demo. Been using Sparke 2 for a couple of months now but I learned something new from your video. Thank you.
You're welcome.
thank you sir
Most welcome

Question: do presets at the top change strumming patterns presets?
Yes
I know it's off topic but you sound like DJ Vlad😂. Very informative video btw, thanks.
Thanks
What size keyboard is needed for this?

I think Sparkle sounds less impressive than Amber. Im many cases Amber
electric fx patches provide a more convincing emulation
I’ll have to check that out.
I don't know why the sound(s) of all these plugins (UJAM and many others) are always so harsh… A real guitarist never sounds in this way.
