INTELLIGENT KEYSWITCH AND CHORD RECOGNITION

You can instantly select an instrument (articulation) using the Instrument Select Key Switches. All the instruments can be assigned to any key switches and you can create your own key switch mapping.

The key switches have a chord recognition feature that enables you to select a chord instrument by not only hitting a key that the chord is assigned, but also by hitting the chord notes in the key switch range.

In other words, you don’t need to memorize the key switches for the chord instruments. Just hold the chord notes in the key switch range, and you are ready to play the chord.

REAL SAMPLED CHORDS

The extensive number of the 'real' chord samples makes your guitar tracks very convincing. (octave, major, minor, 7th, m7, maj7, add9, sus4, 9th, m7(9), maj7(9), dim7, aug, open / low chords, etc.)

Hummingbird includes the huge number of 'real' recorded (in other words, 'pre-recorded' or 'pre-played') chord samples. You can instantly access the various types of guitar chords.

Prominy's guitar libraries are the only ones that include such a huge number of the real chord samples.

EMULATED CHORDS

Though Hummingbird already includes a huge number of real chord samples, more chords (and more chord shape variations per each chord) are available with the emulated chords.

Our unique recording / programming make it possible for you to get a realistic chord sound that is close to a real sampled chord sound, even if you are playing emulated chords. minor 2nd-dyad , maj2nd-dyad, minor 3rd-dyad, major 3rd-dyad, 4th-dyad, flat 5th-dyad, 5th-dyad, #5th-dyad, 6th-dyad, 7th-dyad, maj7th-dyad, octave-dyad, major, minor, 7th, m7, maj7, add9, sus4, 7sus4, 9th, #9, m7(9), maj7(9), dim, dim7, m7(b5), aug, open / low chords, etc.
