Nice one, Steve (or Mark!)...

I think it's the reverb level that makes it washy, myself...

Is there any detailed info on the new guitar mode other than just the manual (which isn't exactly a primer)?

Are they different NTT's for guitar voicing, or are there other tricks involved? I'm afraid the example played doesn't really move the changes around a whole lot, so it's difficult to tell what's going on.

I am a HUGE fan of these new MIDI based performance enhancers. Correct guitar voicing, lead lines that don't jump around as you change chords... what's next...? I'm hoping for chord parts (pianos, brass, strings, etc.) that revoice to the closest inversion, rather than, if the style's original chord is root, every time you change chords, it jumps to the root of that. You know, the whole 'voice leading' thing. It should help realism out enormously...

How about a mode that takes the inversion you are playing for the ACC parts, but NOT the bass? That would make for much smoother voice leading...

Personally, I think audio loops are a dead end for quite a while (until technology can make them change to any chord in realtime, like the new Melodyne thingy), but these more accurate instrument voicing algorithms can get us SO close the point is moot...
