Great idea with the different dynamic layers, that's what a lot of existing VSTi struggle with. Besides the patterns - where the rubber often meets the road is what chords you have available. Obviously you can't cover everything, but the main ones should be there (think Maj, Min, Sus, 7, 6 dim and oct at least - plus a no 3rd version that fits basically in any scenario). I'd think it would be helpful to add a 4th layer to the patterns - muted. Just a thought. Looking forward to what you're cookin\
This is all super helpful, and sort of the comment I was fearing haha The exponential increase of work going from just maj/min chords into even more variations is crazy. I think we’re going to start pretty simple and grow from there, BUT I’m going to give this more thought after your comment. My first demo actually included a muted layer at the very bottom, and it just didn’t really feel good in use. Our solution is we will have certain patterns where the bottom layer is muted instead of the kinda picked out thing I did here, but it doesn’t make sense or feel natural for every pattern. thanks for your thoughts! Can’t wait to share what we do
@@jessehaugen I figured as much, I'd be fine with Maj/Min to start with. Open 5th would still be awesome cause you can underlay it a lot of different chord types (besides diminsihed of course). Also totally understandable that muted does not work on all pattern types. But the teaser is very promising.
The energy change levels is a very great approach. Most strumming libraries suck. The MG Soft Acoustic is the FIRST guitar library that has believable strumming, but your new library seems to go above and beyond that. Cheers! Looking forward to seeing it come to fruition.
Thank you so much! I totally agree, and I’m really hopeful with what we’re trying to achieve with this. Do you have any recommendations for patterns or features you’d like implemented?
@@jessehaugen Being able to create your own strumming patterns, in addition to those supplied, would be a very good feature. If you can do that, then you'll have more than enough bases covered.
Sounding great dude! It sounds like you guys have got the primary things I’d look for covered. The only thing I’d love to hear is muted strum loops in addition to one shots. Maybe just some quarter/eighth/sixteenth note muted strums for added texture? That’s one thing I like to add under more “Powell-esque” pieces whenever I can. Sounding great once again and good luck!

Thank you! Yeah we’ll definitely have maj/min and some pattern specific open 5ths to start. Really appreciate your insight

@jimrogers7425 yeah we’re planning on doing round robin one-shot chords for you to manually play in your own patterns!

Awesome! Yes we have plans for driving muted stuff like that as well as one shots (up and down strokes in round robins)! Thanks for the insight
