RealStrat – sample-based virtual instrument with an innovative approach to guitar sound modeling and guitar techniques emulating on a standard MIDI keyboard.
RealStrat provides incredible playability based on the unique performance modes and easy-to-use keyboard layout as well as the advanced key/pedal/velocity switch system allowing a keyboardist to perform guitar parts with a whole new level of realistic expression. RealStrat covers practically all sounds, articulations, and techniques a professional guitarist can produce on his Strat, including mute, bridge mute, harmonics, pinch harmonics, slap, unison bend, strumming, picking, chord chopping, scrapes, etc…

Installing RealStrat PC version
Double-click RealStrat installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
At the end of installation process RealStrat Bank Manager will open and extract sound bank optimized for particular sample rate which allows using Quick Load technology.
In RealStrat Bank Manager dialog check the appropriate sample rate box you normally use in your audio work, and click "Select" to select the destination directory for bank installation. Click Apply button to start sound bank extracting. Close Bank Manager when sound bank installation is completed. Note, that higher sample rate value will install larger target sound bank.
Important! If Bank Manager window doesn't open automatically during installation process you have to run it manually from Start menu->Program Files->MusicLab->RealStrat, or alternatively go to RealStrat installation folder (by default: C:\Program Files\MusicLab\RealStrat) and double click StgMan.exe file.
Note, that if you want to change sample rate for your audio work you have to run RealStrat Bank Manager and create sound bank optimized for the new sample rate value.
In case your VSTplugins folder is not registered correctly RealStrat installer will not automatically install RealStrat.dll there. So to let your VST host "find" RealStrat you have to manually copy RealStrat.dll from RealStrat installation folder to your VSTplugins directory.
