Question by : Good VST Guitar Instrument for Cubase (That does NOT require an actual guitar?)?
I need a program that will go in my VST folder for Cubase that has Acoustic, Electric, and Bass guitars that playback guitar sounds on the piano roll, NOT from a real guitar that I need! Any suggestions?

Midi trouble
Do you see the midi channel strip rising on the transport bar when you hit the keys on your keyboard?
If not then you need to either update drivers or more likely, setup midi inputs in preferences.
If you do see it move then cubase is recieving midi data, you just have to open a midi channel and specify the input of that channel as your midi keyboard (down the left hand side of the window when a midi channel is selected) and then ensure that an instrument is selected as the output in the same section. You need to activate any virtual instruments (assuming thats what you want to do with your keyboard) in the devices menu then instruments.
As for recording audio into cubase, the cheapest option would be to buy either a USB mic or a battery powered mini jack one to record vocals or accoustic guitar, or to record an electric guitar, place the mic close to and at an angle to the guitar amp.

Even the best acoustic simulators can sound very different to the real thing and it’s worth pointing out that the sound that this and other similar units strive to recreate is the crystalline tone of a piezo rather than the warm glow of a mic’d-up vintage Martin.
The gain pot acts as a notch for the EQ, ranging from a very metallic tone to a warmer, more rounded sound. For strummed passages the performance is actually quite good, and adding a little treble aids the clarity of fingerpicked pieces.
It’ll never replace a genuine acoustic, but for a clean strum, it’s worth a look.

No selection of tone generators would be complete without one dedicated to metal.
The secret is to marry crushing amounts of gain with ferocious highs, fat, expressive lows, and not too much in the middle.
However, with anything less than full gain the tone is too middly and flabby: winding up the gain only increases the fizz. Consider Dimebag’s solid-state rhythm crunch, yet without any real depth or definition. Palm-muted chords bark rather than crush and despite plenty of gain on tap, it’s not a patch on the Vox Metal AmPlug.

For rock solos, most players require additional gain for sustain and a hike in volume, which would explain the dirty nature of the tone of this unit. The delay allows for a warmer tone, too.
There’s no way of altering the delay parameters but, as it’s set lower in the mix, this is no bad thing. For Vai-style emotive lead sections with the neck pickup, the tone is nigh on perfect and riffing with power chords is equally satisfying.
Perhaps reverb could’ve been added to the Acoustic unit, too, because the delay makes all the difference to the sound here.

Any mention of English or British here means tones based around the EL34, which, in turn, usually means Marshall. The P’N'P range also includes a Super Lead unit, but here it’s less about impact and more about these valves’ squashy nature.
Even at full gain, the tone is cleaner than expected, thus giving a rhythm sound that’s closer to AC/DC than Van Halen, albeit without the depth of either. However, when using a humbucker with a decent output, the backed-off sound is expressive for those hard-hitting 12-bar riffs.
This unit suits tones requiring more subtle overdrives, but aside from the lack of gain, it’s a perfectly useable option.

[THIS REALLY KICKS IN AT 27s!] Here is my version of the classic C64 tune Last Ninja 2 – Central Park. This was crying out to be beefed up with some guitars, drums and whatever else I had handy, but I also kept the SID sounds in there to give it that classic C64 feel. I used QuadraSid (a VST plugin that emulates the sound of the C64 SID chip) to copy the original sounds (took ages to get them sounding right), and after adding the guitar I was pretty pleased with the result. This was great fun to do, so if anyone has any requests for more chip tunes that could do with a bit of guitar treatment then let me know – we can add to the new genre of SID rock! PLAY THIS LOUD! Original composed by Matt Gray Arranged by Richard Braithwaite www. richbraithwaite.co.uk EDIT – Been asked what kit I used to do this, so here goes – DAW – Cubase SX 3.1, Quadrasid (for all SID sounds), Guitar Rig 4 (for beefy guitar sounds), Superior Drummer 2 for Drums (simply amazing drum samples, best I’ve heard), Halion 3 (samples for middle 8 Japanese sounds), Les Paul guitar, Cort 5 string bass, Triton Pro master keyboard, various reverb, chorus and compression plugins, er, and a whole lot of time!

If your guitar doesn’t have single coil pickups, you will have some work to do. First, a parametric eq is a big help to emphasize the highs. Graphic eq usually doesn’t cut it. Second, you will probably want to use the the bridge pickup and spring reverb. Picking closer to the bridge also brightens the sound up. Adding tremolo helps as well. If you are trying to use fruity loops to synthesize the sound, as opposed to actually playing the guitar, good luck. I have yet to hear any synthesized guitar that comes close. You would need sampled parts to do this, and I am not sure how good fruity loops is at that.
