NAMM: Vir2 Instruments has introduced Electri6ity, described as “the ultimate virtual electric guitar instrument.”
Description:
Electri6ity contains eight of the most famous and distinguished guitar tones from the history of the instrument: the Strat, Tele, P90, Les Paul, Rickenbacker, Danelectro Lipstick, ES335, and L4. More than 24,000 24-bit samples were taken of each guitar. Three pickup options (front, rear, and mixed) are available on every guitar.
\Every fret of every string was sampled for an absolutely authentic guitar sound. Downstrokes, upstrokes, seamless velocity layers, ghost notes, mutes, flageoletts, hammer-ons, pulloffs, slides, releases, and FX…all are included in every guitar.
Electri6ity utilizes advanced scripting, including Articulation Morphing Technology (A.M.T.) and Velocity Morphing Technology (V.M.T.), allowing for seamless morphing from dead mute to sustain or from soft to loud.
Advanced string and fretboard positioning is performed by artificial intelligence which adapts to your playing. Play fluid lines in real time using the legato engine, play chords using the chord detection engine which understands almost 2000 different chords, easily double-track, do unison bends, strum, pick, trill, tremolo pick, slide…all of this is built into the Electri6ity engine and full editing control is given over each of these parameters.
Vir2 Electri6ity retails for $ 399.95.
Nice dramatic commercial but in the end its still merely a bunch of software. And when the amount of samples used needs to be a buying argument I can't help becoming very reluctant if not plain out sceptical here.
"Artificial intelligence" ? Get real..

Nice motion graphics and they piqued my attention (marketing!) but I'd like to see this followed up with some raw videos of PLAYING Electri6ity in action.
So often, features to enhance realistic realtime playing are disappointing when you try them out for yourself, and it's back to tedious step-programming… OH GOSH NO.
So I hope someone from Vir2 or a big fan will show a split webcam/computer screen view of how these elements work together.

high impact graphics commercial and software with numbers in the actual name… in the end where is the real quality.
I think the demos could be better. But listening behind them I hear some potential!
I've never seen any library without numbers in it's announcement, so I don't understand how this relates to quality.

Hi everyone,
Przemyslaw Kopczyk did a very nice, dark and moody trailer demo for Electri6ity. All guitars (rhythm, clean and solo) were played and recorded live.
The rhythm and clean guitars are using the various strum keys in Electri6ity which make it very easy to do rhythm and strumming parts.
Take a listen: http://www.benjaminstelzer.de/demo_new/Electri6it…
Cheers,
