With about 123,000 Fender Stratocaster samples, Prominy SC Electric Guitar saves you a lot of time. Considering the number of samples, anything you can think of playing on a Strat has probably already been covered by this extensive library. Main features include:

• Incredible real-time playability -- SC SPM (Super Performance Multi)
• All the five pick-up positions can be reproduced
• Real chords -- the extensive number of the "real" pre-recorded chord samples
• Auto Stroke Detection
• Feedback
• Assignable Key Switch
• Double-Tracking
• The lower note samples (low C - low D#) are included
• Direct signals from the guitar
• Perfect sampled sounds of all fret positions on every string
• Picking noises are recorded in multiple forms on all frets and strings

Getting elbows deep in-depth, SC Super Performance Multi accesses a wide load of playing techniques that are included. This features mutes, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, tremolo picking, trilling, pinch harmonics, vibrato, bends, glissando and more -- basically anything you can do with your body and a guitar that isn't illegal.

To capture all of the pickup positions, Prominy actually modified a Stratocaster. They wired separate output jacks for each of the three Strat pickups, simultaneously recording the signal from each. You can change the mix balance of each pickup, giving you an even more microscopic control over your pickup configurations.

Another neat feature is Auto Stroke Detection which detects the current beat position and determines whether the pick-stroke should be a down-stroke or an up-stroke. Of course, as my brothers in metal know, there's no wrong time for a down-stroke, or several thousand of them in a row. Several stroking presets are available and manual stroke control is included.

Throw in one of the most complete chord libraries with each chord played as a whole rather than a combination of single note samples, and you've got yourself a pretty hefty package.
