RealEight from Musiclab is an 8-string electric guitar virtual instrument, ideal for creating lead, rhythm riff, and even bass tracks in rock and metal audio productions. The software delivers an easy-to-use keyboard layout as well as the advanced key/pedal/velocity switch system that allows a keyboardist to perform guitar parts with realistic expression. These include mute, bridge mute, harmonics, pinch harmonics, sliding, scraping, and much more. The 24-bit dry samples were recorded directly from the pick-ups, providing an easy way to create any desired guitar sound using a preferred amplifier simulator.
