One of the biggest challenges with virtual instruments is making them sound genuinely expressive. Programming realistic guitar vibrato and pitch bends traditionally requires painstaking MIDI editing, but MIDISketch offers a much more efficient approach.
In this review and tutorial, I'll demonstrate how I use MIDISketch with Ample Sound guitars to create custom vibrato profiles, control pitch-bend curves, and save reusable presets that dramatically speed up my workflow.
In this video, you'll learn:
🎹 MPE & Expressive MIDI – How MIDISketch works with Omnisphere 3 to create independent pitch bends on individual notes.
🎸 Realistic Guitar Vibrato – How to use the LFO Generator to control vibrato shape, depth, speed, and natural variations.
🎛️ Custom Presets – How to save expressive vibrato profiles and apply them to multiple notes without manually drawing pitch-bend curves.
🎵 Ample Sound Integration – How I use MIDISketch alongside Ample Guitar LP and export performances into Riffer for additional guitar-specific editing.
🔥 Real-World Demonstration – How I used MIDISketch to create the expressive guitar solos in my newest MIDI pack, RockLicks – Glam Rock: Last Stand.
Although this video focuses primarily on guitar programming, MIDISketch can also be used with synthesizers, strings, wind instruments, and other melodic virtual instruments that respond to pitch bend.
Whether you're programming virtual guitars, working with MPE instruments, or simply looking for a faster way to create more natural MIDI performances, MIDISketch is definitely worth exploring.
