Workflow Tips

• Use multiple mic channels and the onboard FX to sculpt tone before sending to external amp sims.
• Map articulations to CCs/key switches so you can control legato, palm mute, and picking styles in performance.
• For realistic strumming, use the strum editor and small timing humanization; layer muted and sustain samples for dynamics.
• Use fret-hand randomization and position locking for consistent voicings across passages.
• Freeze or bounce tracks with heavy effects to reduce CPU load.

3. Technical Specifications and Sampling Depth

Version 3.7.0 utilizes Ample Sound’s proprietary sampling engine. The goal is to minimize the "machine gun effect" (unnatural repetition of identical samples) and maximize playability.

• Articulations: AME includes a vast library of articulations essential for realistic performance:
  • Sustain, Hammer-On, Pull-Off.
  • Slide (Legato and Shift).
  • Palm Mute (crucial for metal riffing).
  • Power Chords and Muted Power Chords.
  • Dead Note, Harmonics, and Pinch Harmonics.
• Fretting Logic: The engine simulates the physical hand of a guitarist. It determines where a note is played on the neck based on the context of the previous note, utilizing algorithms to decide between open strings and fretted positions to ensure smooth transitions.

Velocity layers:

• 1–40 : soft (cleanish)
• 41–100 : normal picking
• 101–127 : hard attack (chug)
