Full pickup sampling includes every possible combination:
• Neck: warm, smooth sound
• Neck + Mid: balanced combination of warmth and brightness
• Mid: clear, rounded tone
• Mid + Bridge: sharp, bright tone
• Bridge: clean, powerful signal for solos
Smooth Transitions Between Notes
The tone changes naturally even with sudden velocity changes, without the abrupt jumps typical of traditional libraries.
Endless Variations
Each keystroke produces a unique sound, rather than a cyclical repetition of two or three samples.
Natural Bends
The new bending system creates an organic sound, free from the artificiality of digital effects.
Advanced String Mute Control
Allows fine-tuning of the degree of muting, simulating the real interaction with the strings.
Dynamic Pick Position
Vary the picking position from the neck to the bridge, varying the tone from warm and rhythmic to sharp and bright.
Dynamic Strumming
When you play a chord, DirectGuitar 4 automatically plucks the strings realistically, adapting to the velocity for natural expression.
String Height
Adjusting the height affects the overtones and overall timbre.
Power Chords
Smoothly transition from muted to open chords while maintaining a natural sound.
Funk Mode
Easily play funk patterns with smooth transitions between muted and open notes, conveying the true spirit of funk guitar. DirectGuitar 4 is not just a sample library, it is a powerful tool designed to inspire and improve your music production.
True legato
The technology allows you to achieve smooth transitions between notes without using traditional multi-layer sampling. The hammer-on technique is used for ascending intervals, and pull-off for descending ones, which allows you to create natural, connected musical phrases with endless variations. The function also supports trills for quickly alternating notes, providing the most realistic sound.

Key switches activate perfect bends at any velocity value.
Pinch harmonics and natural harmonics
Create sharp, ringing harmonics.
Unison bends
Simultaneous bending on several strings.

Emulation of the tapping technique for solos and complex melodies.
