SLIDE Acoustic extensively models the sound of an acoustic steel string guitar played with a slide, commonly heard in blues and country/folk music.
Rather than including pre-recorded slide articulations, which would limit the intervals and speeds of sliding,
we've developed an ultra-realistic slide engine that models all the nuances related to slide articulations.
This includes everything from keeping the slides timbre-correct as well as the noise of the actual slide moving on the strings.
This also applies to vibrato as well, using a custom LFO in addition to the slide engine for realistic vibrato.
We sampled the acoustic guitar with an open D tuning, a common tuning used for playing slide guitar, which has a deeper, richer tone than standard guitar tuning.
SLIDE Acoustic also includes a slew of effects, including tremolo, chorus, reverb, delay, amp modeling, and much more.
That way you have complete slide guitar tones readily available right out of the box.
There is a preset system that lets you load factory presets as well as your own external preset files quickly and easily.
