Legato module / Guitar library needs small overlap

Still experimenting with the Legato module in MG3 3.068 on Windows.

When I use the Impact Soundworks Rosette acoustic guitar, it seems that this library expects a small overlap between legato notes to trigger hammer-on/pull-off.

I tried adjusting the legato time values and note stealing of MG3 legato module, but I can’t get it to work. However, it does work when I play legato on my keyboard controller or when I manually edit the notes recorded with MG3 and create a small overlap between those notes. Around 10 ms works.

Is there a workaround for this? Or would it make sense to add an overlap setting to the Legato module?

Thanks for your input on this.

Get a piano sustain pedal and hold it down.

What I’m after is to play sustain notes (playing non legato) and occasional legato/hammer on/pull off when I need to with just the way I am playing. Another library like (Abyss) responds well to that. The Rosette library just seems to be different. Trying to achieve this with a sustain pedal would be more of a disturbance. Automation is key!

Then I would look into Kontakt multiscripts. Gemini/Calaude can help you make custom scripts to your specification.

I don’t quite understand why you would play a guitar VST with a guitar. The new “Neural Amp Models” module allows you to modify the guitar sound as you like. In combination with MG3Hex, you can also change the pitch of the audio signal of each individual string.

Hi @Dutti67, is it now really possible to use the input signal from a guitar to produce any other guitar sound from other physical guitars, from hollow body to Strat and Gibson, like the earlier simulations of all types of guitars and basses from SIM1, as shown here https://sim1guitar.com/xt-1/?

That would be a very big innovation, which I would very much welcome in MidiGuitar3 :flexed_biceps:

Hello @anjo , I have played around with various NAM profiles & IR files found on:

Some are excellent, others are OK, a few are “so so”, but all in all I like it a lot.

Hi @Dutti67, I wanted the body resonance model for all types of guitars and basses from SIM1, as shown here: https://sim1guitar.com/xt-1/.
But I can’t find it in Tone 3000. Have I overlooked something?

No sorry, body IR’s are not on Tone3000. There are web sites like 3SigmaAudio where you can buy body response files.

Hi @Dutti67, thank you for your tip :slightly_smiling_face: , I’ll have to take a closer look at that.

Thanks Peter. I looked up for an already made up script. But a custom script might be an option.

Hi Markus. Well, yes, it is redundant in a way, isn’t it ? But that was just an example. I use other libraries as well. I like the sound of sampled libraries personally. When well sampled, scripted and played, they can sound authentic to my ears.

I will have a closer look at Neural Amps and Sim1. Thanks !

on sim1 they haven’t been replying to emails for over a year. their authentication servers are down, which means their software and pedals cannot load new presets.

the technology is great. but it looks like the company is dead.

Well, Peter, that works !!

Not that easy to find a ksp multiscript code with AI that has no errors, but I found this one that does work for me. I post it if anybody interested.
Thanks for suggesting this solution it seems to work perfect now !

Btw, I find this group of users fantastic !

on init
declare ui_knob $ExtendMs (0, 500, 1000)
set_text($ExtendMs, “Extend (ms)”)
$ExtendMs := 50
make_persistent($ExtendMs)
end on

on midi_in
if ($MIDI_COMMAND = $MIDI_COMMAND_NOTE_OFF)
ignore_midi
wait($ExtendMs * 1000)
set_midi($MIDI_CHANNEL, $MIDI_COMMAND_NOTE_OFF, $MIDI_BYTE_1, $MIDI_BYTE_2)
end if
end on

Lovely! I’m an avid user of multiscripts - they really do wonders!

Yes ! Now that I’m initiated, I won’t be afraid of using more of them when needed.

Hi @Kimyo, yes, the manufacturers of Sim1 guitar body resonance models are no longer in business, but it would be great if @JamO could implement the basic functionalities in MG3.

The Boss GP-10 with a hexaphonic pickup does that. You can get quite convincing strat, LP, tele, etc. sounds, and acoustic and nylon string sounds too.
