Guitarist is available for Mac OS X (10.4 or higher) and Windows (XP, Vista or 7), and runs as a stand‑alone application or a VST or AU plug‑in. Sugar Bytes' Guitarist is in a similar vein, built upon large sets of guitar multisamples, with software mechanisms to mimic the interactions of pick, strings and fingers. There have been previous attempts to tackle the problem by modelling the behaviour of guitars - and, more to the point, guitar players - in software, most notably Steinberg's Virtual Guitarist (reviewed in SOS December 2002 and September 2006). Sometimes, even with the most painstakingly multisampled, velocity‑switched libraries, they end up sounding a bit stiff and artificial. Electric guitar is one of the most difficult instruments to recreate in sample‑based form. Sugar Bytes are the latest developers to brave the challenge.
