Tab Player:

• The Tab Player can load and play several prevalent guitar tablature file formats. Users can load, display and playback any specific track inside a tablature file. When used in DAWs, the Tab Player also allows users to export the tablature as an audio file.

• The Tab Player supports all the fingering, looping, chords, articulations and other markers in the loaded tablature. Supported articulations include: Strum, Natural Harmonic, Artificial Harmonic, Hammer On/Pull Off, Trill, Bend, Tremolo Bar, Legato Slide, Slide In, Slide Out, Vibrato, Tremolo Picking, Palm Mute, Popping, Tapping, Let Ring, Staccato, Dead Note, Grace Note, Ghost Note, Accentuated Note, Fade In, etc.

• As a built-in function, the Tab Player works seamlessly with the Ample Sound instrument engine, which has extremely customized guitar playing logic so as to model a real-world guitar being played. The Tab Player can even judge on its own to automatically add some refining articulations when it thinks it is appropriate, such as slapping on strings or body, or other realistic and indispensable noises.

• Strumming is an important factor of guitar playing. By taking advantage of the Ample Guitar Strummer engine, the Tab Player can not only mingle different articulations into strumming, but can also alternate between strumming several strings (i.e. multiple notes) simultaneously and strum at a particular string (i.e. one note).

Fazit
AGM punktet als nuancenreich und dynamisch spielbare Gitarren-Library mit einem brillanten Klang in erstklassiger Audioqualität. Dank des Strummers gelingen auch Nichtvirtuosen im Nu überzeugende Gitarrenbegleitungen. Wer Wert auf größtmöglichen Realismus legt, sollte jedoch eine ausgiebige Einarbeitung in die Bedienung des komplexen Instruments einplanen. Wenn Sie sich davon nicht abschrecken lassen, werden Sie mit einer der expressivsten virtuellen Akustikgitarren belohnt - ein echtes Instrument eben.
