Hi all, while my Korg keyboard does a pretty good job of imitating the<br>
sounds of various instruments, I can never seem to get the guitars to<br>
sound like they're being strummed. In my (simplistic) estimation its a<br>
matter of rolling the notes consecutively from low to high (down-stroke)<br>
and then high to low (up-stroke), perhaps needing variable pressure on<br>
different notes?<br>
<br>
So my basic question is, how would you produce as realistic a guitar<br>
strum as possible using an electronic keyboard with the requisite sound<br>
banks? Or should I give it up and just record my guitar directly (neck<br>
needs straightening...)?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Here we have that problem again. I mean, how much are we trying to emulate things these days and getting away with it? I can tell a sampled guitar from expensive records pretty quickly, and it annoys me as fast. I _have_ heard _some_ with excellent results though - I wouldn't be able to tell if I weren't informed. Those are fine, but the majority aren't.</div>
