The Reggae Guitar

Reggae guitar playing style is much different than rock, jazz guitar or other styles - it’s much more oriented towards rhythm and rhythmic accents and noises than just playing leads or chords. Muted notes are important - half mutes, full mutes, even mutes with vibrato. And of course, reggae has leads as well, but usually with a strong hard rhythmic feel.

The Reggae Guitar sound library / virtual instrument for Reason brings that rhythmic kind of stratocaster based rhythmic guitar style to the desktop by including pitched chucks and chuckas, strum noises, finger noises, various different kinds of muted notes, including 6 layers of soft to hard mutes, and also extra punchy mutes, vibrato mutes, five layers of lead guitar soft to hard, plus slapped or plucked lead notes, pulls offs, special delay effects and a few bonus loops.

On several presets, the mod wheel is routed to create wa wa effects, on others velocity is used to for instance switch between pitched or unpiched chucka-noises, mutes, plucks, straight notes, or pull-offs. The Combinators allow shaping by chorus, reverb, distortion or delays.
