EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

As I recall, I think there was some kind of hit (crap) song (commercial
sludge) that came out recently that used Virtual Guitarist. Teddy, your
email is hilarious to me because I thought VG was the worst instrument ever
to be released. I feel like Steinberg should be liable for punitive damages
for releasing the worst (only a freakin' single-octive set of sampled chords
(just what I love... prefab chord progressions of lifeless crapola)
disguised as a VST instrument that doesn't even go from C3 to C4. Given
that, the price is obscene. It's not even worth $50. Fortunately I was able
to recover the expense on ebay. I was speechless after the 4-hour
installation. I had been so excited and was completely floored by it's
pathetic, uninspiring anti-nature.

So, consider this statement when I say that I really enjoy working with
Slayer. It's not real life, but it is very useable and flexible for much of
what I need. Hey, look Ma, I'm playing my own chords... whooopie! On a
serious note, you can sustain a key until the feedback self-oscillates.
Cool. Plus, by default the mod wheel becomes the note-bend-up (much like a
real guitar's capability) and the pitch-bend wheel slides up and down the
frets one octave either way. Great FX box too.
