IronAxe from XHUN Audio is a software model of a legendary electric guitar series that faithfully simulates all of the acoustic and electronic components found in the original instruments, and preserves the same nuances and multi-techniques playability that are otherwise difficult to perform on sampled instruments.
Build a custom Stratocaster or Telecaster guitar, choose pickup type, number and position, set the tone knobs to the desired sound, and select the plectrum hardness or pluck a string with fingers at any point along its length. All of this and more can be controlled in realtime using a MIDI keyboard or a supported MIDI guitar.
