I purchased AGL, AGLP and AGRB and I discovered when I installed the current version that they removed the possibility to use the Mod Wheel for vibrato!
This very feature was the reason why I started to purchase their guitars : I made several pieces with older versions and, I liked so much the result I obtained ! This featured is not for people who play live, but for composers/producers like me it was fantastic : I needed to record the vibrato in a second time but the result was extremely human and natural!!!
I tried to accommodate to their new modulation system but definitely it sounds too robotic (synthetic) to me.
Plus they give the virato speed in ms !!! Not musical at all ! They should propose some musical notes values instead, including dotted and triplets, and synchronised with the tempo. I tried make a piece with this unnatural vibrato but unfortunately there was some tempo changes in it. Guess what, I had to recalculate (yes with a calculator) the vibrato time according to the new tempo !!! And the result is in all case far from what I obtained manually without calculating anything, just playing...
I am an a former demonstrator for synths and samplers (Roland, Ensoniq,AKAI) and a too bad guitarist for my needs. Ample Guitars was a nice solution for me : it can take me up to 4 months to put in place a big Progressive Rock piece with the playing level and the sound quality I want, no problem, but loosing such an important feature is a disaster for me.
Do you share the same experience about this feature ?
I developed some VST instruments 10 years ago : I think it might not be a terrible issue for them the re-implement their old code + a switch about this matter - if they receive feedback from several users...
