This is the minor chords version of the Strat chord mini-library I've made in Renoise (part one, major chords, already uploaded). Sounds just the same as the major chord one, covers the same range, but the hits samples (highest velocity, 7A-7F) are more consistent on this one (for purposes of the project it was made for). They're almost all "hit-fall" instead of just a chord strike.
Each sample has been spread across a few semitones above and below and the sample playback set to "random", so you get a nice "realistic" variation on repeat notes. Interpolation is set to "Sinc", sounds good to me, apparently this setting is most CPU-intensive, though.
No random finger/string-squeak samples on the note-off layer on this one, add em if you want em (from the major chord version).
Added an operand to the pitch modulation on all samples and mapped that to a macro wheel labeled "pitch bend". You could automate it or map it to a mod wheel for surf-style whammybar dips and such. (These instruments were actually made for a project with a lot of surf-style guitar in it).
Suits mellower stuff but can sound pretty good with heavy distortion, was all played with my thumb, not a pick, to keep it relatively quiet. Tone knob was at about 4-5, volume up all the way, all but the hits recorded with the pickup selector at 2nd position (top two singlecoils, mellowest position) and the hits at third (middle coil only, bit brighter and noisier).
Direct input recorded in Renoise, no FX, EQ, nothing.
Edit: I've added a quick example, you can hear most of the chords and strumming rates, it's part of the rhythm guitar track from a song I did with these. Shows that a little compression, some tube clarification, distortion and reverb can make these sound pretty good, eh? What I actually used (DSP in order): Renoise's bus compressor, Studio Devil's Virtual Tube Preamp (awesome piece of software), Boogex's "Picking Crunch" preset with its cab and reverb turned off (so only the amp), Renoise's cab sim with the "Boro Jazz" preset, bass and high freq attenuated, Renoise's mpReverb "Cathedral" setting with the wet set to 20%.
Note, you will need to EQ and compress these at a minimum to use them well – they're all raw direct input samples, so the (sometimes pretty bad) harmonics and such are still there. Treat them as what they are – raw input requiring some processing! Thanks, cheers.
I use GTR (commercial), but a decent free cab/amp is Boogex. Maybe turn off its onboard cab and use Renoise's native one instead and maybe turn off its reverb as well and use one you like. Voxengo has a nice free tube amp sim too, youcould use that with Renoise's cab as well.
Go ahead and do what you like with this, you could put it together with the major chord one on different octaves for a more complete single instrument. Note I'll be uploading a min7 version and a few others over the next week or so, all recorded the same way. Hope this is useful, peace out.
Edit: I've also got a more basic simple major and minor chord down-stroke/up-stroke (note-on/note-off) library I'll fix up and upload soon.
