velocity will change fret position if it goes beyond. Low velocity will not.

Auto HP: Ample Guitar can switch to HP automatically if there is a legato on one string, without

pressing a Keyswitch first. if you don’t need it, open «keyboard mode».

Poly Legato: The HP Keyswitch can also change the Capo in the same way as LS,

4.6 Global Sample Start Time

After pick strokes string, it takes around 50ms to get the string really vibrating. Ample Guitar

preserves the moment of the stroke, otherwise it will sound like piano.

right for playback or export.

Ample Guitar (8 in 1) Manual

48

If your DAW doesn’t support Track delay, you will need to drag tracks a few ms (according to

start time) forward manually, or use the formula of Time to BPM: Track Delay(beat) = Time(s)

* Tempo / 60, e.g. for 50ms, you need to drag tracks 0.1 beat or 48 ticks forward when Tempo

= 120.

You need to export audio one bar earlier after Track Delay is set as shown in the figure below.

  Poly Legato (Original): The rule is same with mono legato except
  you only need to press the

  highest note of second set if you want to slide upward, or
  lowest note of second set if you want

  to slide downward.

• Ample Guitar (6 in 1) Manual

  34

  Slide Smoother: The speed of a long legato slide (slide more
  than 2 frets) is determined by the

  velocity of second note. Higher the velocity, faster the

  at the same time, note of high

  velocity will be Sustain and low velocity will be Palm Mute.

  4.3 Double Guitars

  Guitar notes doubling is a common technique used in recording
  and music performance. Our

  authentic Doubled Guitars are achieved by using different
  samples on left and right channels. It

  is very easy to use: simply click the toggle button.

  Double Guitars knob adjusts the time difference between notes on
  left and right channels.

  4.4 Controllable Resonance

  In real performance, guitarist can control resonance volume and
  time with hand. Ample Guitar

• Ample Guitar (6 in 1) Manual

  37

  simulates these controls.

  *Silent Press(G5), Silent Stroke(G#5) and releasing Hold Pedal
  can end sustained Resonance.

  4.5 Fret Sound

  In real performance, hand is constantly moving and touching
  fretboard. Other virtual guitars

  sound artificially «clean» without fret sound which Ample Guitar
  can simulate.

• Ample Guitar (6 in 1) Manual

  38

  4.6 Total Start Time

  After pick strokes string, it takes around 50ms to get the
  string really vibrating. Ample Guitar

  preserves the moment of the stroke, otherwise it will sound like
  piano.

• Ample Guitar (6 in 1) Manual

  39

  4.6.1 Start Time Setting

• Ample Guitar (6 in 1) Manual

  40

  Set Start Time to 50ms and Track Delay of DAWs to 0ms as shown
  in the figure above on the

  left when you are playing a MIDI keyboard.

  Set Start Time to 0ms and Track Delay of DAWs to -50ms as shown
  in the figure above on the

  right when you are playing tracks or exporting audio.

  If your DAW doesn’t support Track delay, you will need to drag
  tracks a few ms (according to

  start time) forward manually, or use the formula of Time to BPM:
  Track Delay(beat) = Time(s) *

  Tempo / 60, e.g. for 50ms, you need to drag tracks 0.1 beat or
  48 ticks forward when Tempo =

  120.

  You need to export audio one bar earlier after Track Delay is
  set as shown in the figure below.

  4.7 Velocity Sensitivity

  Determines how much velocity controls volume. Volume will be
  totally controlled by velocity

  when the value is 100. Will be slightly controlled when the
  value is 25.

  4.8 Velocity Layer Setting

  Each Cycle: Separate sample cycle for Each Note and Each
  Velocity Layer, greatly improving

  humanization.

• Ample Guitar (6 in 1) Manual

  41

  Rhombic Sampling Structure: Greatly improves sample
  utilization.

  Three sliders control velocity thresholds of corresponding
  layers. Adjust them according to your

  play style.

• Ample Guitar (6 in 1) Manual

  4.9 Manual Vibrato Wheel (Original)

  Vibrato can be controlled by hand like a real guitarist does. An
  intensive vibrato is triggered

  when the wheel position exceeds 3/4.

  4.10 Str man and Capo man

  4.10.1 StrMan

  Specify a string to be played manually. G0-C1 correspond to 6th
  string-1st string. High velocity

  Strman will affect fret position while low velocity will
  not.

  4.10.2 CapoMan

  Switch to a fret position manually. Press C#1 and the CapoMan
  line (yellow) will appear. Then

  press E1-C3 to switch to position 0-20 respectively.

  Strum Time controls how fast pick cross strings. When Strum Time
  is 1000ms, in Each Mode

  every interval between chord notes is 1000ms while in All Mode
  intervals are altogether

  1000ms.

  C#5 can control Strum Time. Higher the velocity, shorter the
  time.

• Ample Guitar (6 in 1) Manual

  46

  5.3 Body Resonance and Mute Depth

  There are two ADRs in strum mode, Body Resonance and Mute Depth.
  Body Resonance

  simulates open strum, higher the value longer the sustain time.
  Mute Depth simulates mute

  strum, lower the value greater the depth.

  Alters the timing of chord notes without affecting the total
  strum time.

  5.4.3 Humanization (Velocity)

  Applies random change to note velocities.

  5.4.4 SEQ Swing

  Randomly flexes the timing grid of SEQ to avoid mechanical
  performance.

  5.5 Chord Setting and Switch (Important)

  There are two chord modes available, select mode and detect
  mode.

  D5 can switch chord mode, high velocity for detect mode and low
  velocity for select mode.

  5.5.1 Select Mode

• Ample Guitar (6 in 1) Manual

  48

  Select Mode provides 12 chord slots. Every chord slot can be
  customized by setting root note,

  type and position, altogether 540 variations available. You can
  also customize by clicking on the

  dartboard.

  Click Transpose button will transpose 12 chord slots
  altogether.

  Press C2-B2 to switch to 1-12 chord slot respectively. High
  velocity will mute the sustain of

  previous chord.

  5.5.2 Detect Mode

  Ample Guitar can detect chord pressed by users within C1-B2 and
  directly switch to

  corresponding preset. Root note must be between C1-B1. Detected
  chord will be displayed on

  the 12th chord slot.

  5.6 Chord Play and SEQ Setting (Important)

  5.6.1 14 Strum Notes + 28 Play Modes (Original)

  Strummer system provides 14 strum notes, and 28 play modes when
  combined with different

  velocity, giving great variety for chord play, even with only
  one chord.

  Play modes have been designed and arranged with regard to
  convenience after countless hours

  of testing. Without need for remembering them, you can play
  naturally on keyboard to achieve

  realistic strum.

  The figure below shows 28 play modes with Em chord (6
  Notes).

  Double clicking on an existing note

  will remove it.

  The icons on the left of editor are 14 strum notes.

Higher the velocity, shorter the time.1.3 ReleaseThere are two ADSRs in strum mode, Body Resonance and Mute Depth. Body Resonancesimulates open strum, higher the value longer the ringing time. Mute Depth simulates mutestrum, lower the value greater the depth.1.4 Strummer HumanizationsHumanization TimeApplies random change to total strum time.5

Note D5 can switch chordmode, high velocity for detect mode and low velocity for select mode.*High-velocity switching chords automatically mutes the ringing of the last chord played.6
