If you are into guitar synthesis at ALL you NEED this-UVI workstation is a multitrack sample application whose first six correspond to midi mono mode as sent by Roland or Axon with track1=Hi E to track6=Lo E. Fantastic.
UVI Workstation DOES NOT require ilok ! The PACE ilok extensions are required, but not the key itself.
Technically "free" but requires iLok. :( Laptop hostile & hobbyist hostile.
Even though I'm a long-time fan of Mac Music, I registered for an account today, JUST so I could review this plug-in. This is my new favorite plug-in. It's amazing. I've only had it for a few hours, and I'm still amazed by it. I don't care what kind of music you make, download this! You will surely find a use for it! (Keep it free, or it will lose part of it's amazingness)
