The Real Guitar Collection comprises more than 300 MIDI Samples, originally
released as MIDI Groove Clips for Sonar 3.
A ‘MIDI Groove Clip’ is a .MID file that contains additional
control information that relates to Sonar. However you can freely load these
files into any other DAW (Cubase, Logic etc) or indeed workstation such as
Motif/ES and the loops will function exactly does as any other ‘normal’ .MID
file.
The Real Guitar Collection’s initial brief was to take guitar loops
found on a range of Twiddly.Bits MIDI Sample libraries - Acoustic & Electric
Guitar, The Funk, and Jazz Brass Guitar & Solo Instruments -
and re-master them adding the new MIDI Groove Clip data.
However, in the process we couldn’t resist recording a whole bunch
of brand new material as well. Making their debut here are a great many rock
strums, and lines, some beautiful folk strums, and a whole category of Latin
guitar ranging from definitive Samba and Bossa grooves, to, well, just ‘Santana-ish” parts
and feels.
If you already own all three of the Twiddly.Bits titles mentioned above
the level of ‘duplicated’ loops may too high to merit purchasing
The Real Guitar Collection as a separate item. However, given the proportion
of completely brand new material, plus the range of titles from which data has
been taken, owners of one or even two of the pre-existing libraries will still
find plenty of fresh and compelling material here.
