Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I was wondering what many of you are using to simulate strumming a guitar or power chords using synth sounds you already have. I know of Virtual Guitarist and RealGuitar. 

I use Mac OS X and current version of Logic

Any thoughts on these or any others?

Your opinion is greatly appreciated!

i think this company keyfax used to make midi of guitar strums that you can 
drop in, then change the chords as appropriate. you can also just make strums 
so they end up on the down beat (so start them 50-100 ticks before the beat),

There is actually a free logic environment at swiftkick.com that is a  
very useful strummer. I'm sure the other programs you mention have  
more tricks up their sleeves but they are not free.

It utilises a series of chord memorisers and arpegiators to voice and  
strum all of the open position major and minor 6 string guitar chords  
in up and down strum. The speed of the strum is controlled by the  
settings on the arpegiators.

If you required different voicings you can just edit the chord  
memorisers to suit.

Good luck.

Guitar Center is selling RealGuitar 2L right now for $99 - it's  
normally $249.  I just bought it.   No other guitar solutions I have  
tried have worked worth a damn (audio loops, Keyfax, environment  
strumming simulators, etc.).  I hope this program is usable.

FYI - if you buy at GC, you have to go to the website and send your  
activation # in order to get a license # that will allow you to  
update to v.2.2.
