strat suspended 4th (sus4) chords, variable strum by robohymn

One of my favourite chords! It's like it's waiting for something (specifically, to be "unsuspended" to a major chord). When I hear this chord, I think of The Who's "Tommy" every time. This XRNI has the distinction of being the only one to utilize the highest note on a standard-tuned guitar, C#6 (I think it's 6, maybe it's 5). It's on the highest velocity layer of the C#3 key. Cheers.



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.
