Well, I use the sonic implants stuff, which was sf2 that I converted to sfz.
Their telly and strat samples were especially good and still hold up. I guess
you would need to buy them as dvi plugs not. But they have been my go to
guitar sounds for years. They make a good paul reed smith too, but the strat
and telly are the best, though you’ll want to tweak stuff like the lfo rate to
make it more notural, and you may want to mess with some of the velocity
switching. But I haven’t heard guitar samples that come with the more
expensive sound libraries
that sound as good. If I wanted to take the time to do my own I might change a
couple of things, but the amount of man hours it takes to put together a good
sampled instrument can be quite daunting. A lot of folks really think you just
record notes and stick them together and go. I think it was the late eighties
when Cassio came out with a low end sampler and every kid could do that Stacey
Q stuff and everybody thought it was that easy.

Hi Gord,
Thanks for the info. I don't have a Telly; in fact, I don't have any guitars,
just soft sinths, a Roland Fantom X-6, and a Roland RD-700 G. There's a steel
patch in the TTS-1 that I modified a bit and created a preset, and that's what
I'm using now. It's not bad, but I wanted to create a better one for the
Dimension Pro. I see that there's one that was made for the Kontakt player, but
that's obviously not accessible to us. I was hoping that there were individual
sound samples that I could develop into a program, but I haven't found anything
yet. There are loops of steel guitar playing, but I want to do my own thing
when it comes to creating the music. Guess I'll have to sit in front of search
engines until I find something, or I'll have to locate somebody who's got a
Telly, lap steel, or a pedal steel and create sound files.
Mike

Hi:
Well, I haven’t come across one that was really concinving. Usually I take a
telly, put it through a good smooth compressor, adjust the pitch bend to make
it wide enough, and assign the footc controller cc4 to the volume of the audio
for the sfz track. This works quite well for me. I use cc4 on the audio track
so that I can control the overall level while keeping the level going into the
compressor constant.
