This is an amazing product. Are there any plans for building in different tunings (i.e. Open D or E, Drop D, etc.)? I know I would use them extensively in writing and recording! Very Happy

No plans yet for different string tunings.
But we'll certainly consider that for further developement.

Regards,
Sergey

I had a song that needed drop D tuning. My solution was to tune Real Guitar down 2 semitones. I had to play the parts in the key of E on the keyboard, even though the song was in D. It worked out well, though.
There's some interesting effects to be had by tuning RG to the extreme, either up or down a whole octave. With some FX added in the chain, in can sound quite sinister tuned low, and almost ethnical tuned high. Tweak them parameters! Cool

If you could isolate the semitone tunings to each string instead of Real Guitar as a whole that would be incredible! Especially if you could then save the guitar's new tuning as a preset.

The only drawback would be chording - since open chord tunings are usually played with maybe three strings fretted (E, A and G strings or what have you) and the others open for that droning sound. Add in those chord recognition modes and your running out of things you CANT do on Real Guitar. Very Happy
