#MonsterGuitarVST is a Free Guitar virtual instrument that covers multi music genres, from Reggae to Pop to Rock and everything in between.
I’m Agus Hardiman and I made this Monster Guitar as a tool to make a MIDI mockup when I composed a song.
It is not meant to replace a real guitarist, but rather to help everybody so abstract ideas become more fixed.
Because of this, if you compare Monster Guitar VST with any other VST like AmpleSound or Shreddage or anything else, my VST doesn’t have detailed and realistic sound, let alone if you compare it to a real guitarist!
I do hope this VST has its own use in your music production!
In this 2nd version, Monster Guitar has 14 Presets, divided into 3 categories: CHORD Mode, LEAD Mode, and NOTES Mode (More on this below).
Thanks to Vian Electone, Mr. Gatut from Fanada Pro, Topan Abimanyu, Odod, Heman Garde, and all for donating their own guitar playing to this VST, you’re the best!
The great thing about this VST is that this is never complete. This VST gets a new expansion sound continuously every now and then!
Monster Guitar’s 3 MODES = CHORD, LEAD & NOTES
Here’s the explanation of CHORD Mode using one of the Monster Guitar Preset:
Are you confused about how to use CHORD MODE? Check this video!
LEAD Mode is a bunch of presets to play lead guitar/melody. Watch this demo of the LEAD preset:
HEMAN GARDE’s LEAD is one of the LEAD MODE’s preset of Monster Guitar
NOTES Mode is where users plays a bunch of notes like playing a keyboard.
