• Strum with MIDI loops in 101 musical styles: Use the vast collection of 707 recorded strumming patterns over the chords you play, and find inspiration for your track. Drag and drop the loop to your host sequencer, and make it perfect for your song.
• Strum on your keyboard: Trigger down and upstrokes, scratches and mutes, or create picking patterns using the arpeggio keys.
• Articulation and expression: Slide and bend with the pitch wheel or aftertouch. Add vibrato with the modulation wheel. Natural hammer-ons and pull-offs when playing leads.

• Picks and fingers: Use a pick that is rounded or sharp, stiff or soft. Dig into the strings or use a light touch, or play near the bridge or towards the neck for an evolving tone.
• String by string: Select material and natural decay for each string. Precise control of coupling and interactions at the bridge breathe life into your tone with beating and organic envelopes.
• Pickups: Whether they are single-coils or humbuckers, pickups are a fundamental part of the electric guitar sound. They shape the whole instrument’s response, and their multiple configurations give tremendous tone flexibility.
• Body shopping: The soundboard of a guitar radiates vibrations from the strings. Choose a body size to color the sound with specific resonances and find the right character.
• Mutes and scratches: As on a real guitar, strings interact with the players hands and frets. Fine tune your rhythm parts and riffs with palm muting, scratches, and hammer-ons.

• Sound manipulation at the source core
• Presets load in a flash
• Super smooth dynamics—no velocity layers
• Small memory footprint—less than 256 MB of RAM per instance

Q: 1. Hi guys, short woman here. I'm only 5'3 and I have a Glidecam vest, but it's huge on me because I'm super short. Can anyone tell me what the length of the vest is to see if it'll fit my torso properly?

A: Just measured mine - The length of the padded section that will sit against your back is 50cm. The size of the vest is 100% adjustable so I'm confident that you will be able to find a good fit. The height of the shoulder pads can be adjusted up and down to accommodate all shapes and sizes!

A: Yes, if you keep the overall load of the Ronin 2 with camera at or below 30 pounds. The Ronin 2, B&H # DJRONIN2, weighs about 12 pounds and has a 30 pound load capacity. If the total of the Ronin 2 and camera goes over the 30 pound mark, you will need to look in to the Pro Arm Model, B&H # RERIGGSA, which has a 40 pound load capacity.https://bhpho.to/2CSe72b

Q: 7. Does the Aktiv8 head work with VCT-14 quick release plate? Old school Sony, has 1/4 and 3/8 screws. How does the pin work with that?

A: Yes, the Sony VCT-14 plate will mount onto the Sachtler's aktiv8 quick release plate. The Sony plate has a series of 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 ports underneath that are spaced out so that the pin will sit in the 3/8"-16 port when screwing in the 1/4"-20. Apart from that, the aktiv8 main feature is centered around how the head mounts and clamps onto the tripod legs. This is a perfect setup for integrating with a VCT style workflow.
