hmmmm! the guitar sounds arn't on the crystal. The crystal is a electronic, weird synth. HOwever, the superquartet from edirol has some great acoustic guitar sounds. I don't think these things cost much. I@m surprised, there's nobody given more input on this, considering I've only been using them for a few months. If you're interested in the superquartet then just type it in google. Its from edirol. There might be a demo for it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rod" <roddj12@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 8:12 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: software > David, if it is free, can you send an attachment to me too please.
