What Is Virtual Guitarist SPARKLE?
“Virtual Guitarist SPARKLE” is a software instrument doubling as a professional guitarist in a music studio, with you being in the producer’s chair.
Virtual Guitarist vs A Real Guitarist
If we denied the huge differences between a software plugin and a real guitarist, you wouldn’t trust us. If you have all the money, time and patience in the world plus a recording studio and a professional guitarist available, we would always recommend: Go for it!
But for most people, most of the time, that’s not the case:
- Maybe you have no access to a (professional) guitarist.
- Maybe you want to just work out ideas totally by yourself.
- Maybe you’re a guitarist but want to quickly lay down a track without the hassle of setting up.
- Maybe you want to use MIDI-controlled guitar tracks as source material for electronic manipulation.
In these and many other scenarios, “Virtual Guitarist SPARKLE” is a great alternative to the real thing.
What is “SPARKLE” about?
TIMELESS SOUND
From clean to crunchy, twangy to fat: 60s grit, 70s disco, 80s glam, 90s brit pop, 00s indie and contemporary electronic pop – SPARKLE has got you covered.
THINK TELE, STRAT & JAG
Ujam recorded Virtual Guitarist SPARKLE with a customized vintage guitar utilizing its single-coil pickups to get that legendary and timeless bell-like sound. Just like its celebrated physical counterparts, SPARKLE is a versatile instrument, with over 90 different styles containing 1000 individually recorded guitar licks and phrases for instant gratification when composing.
Why so few controls?
Ujam are all musicians and they know that the time for learning a user interface is better spent making music. Therefore, the user interface of Virtual Guitarist SPARKLE is designed for maximum ease of use and minimum distraction.
It is also fail-proof in that no matter how you set up the controls of Virtual Guitarist SPARKLE, the result will never be musically or technically wrong – without sacrificing any creative freedom. You can trust in the fact that tracks produced with Virtual Guitarist SPARKLE are realistic, professionally produced guitar tracks.
Start Playing!
The top half of the Virtual Guitarist SPARKLE window is dedicated to the guitarist’s performance – in other words: How he plays. Here, you’ll find two musical core aspects you can control: Phrasing and Notes.
The Interactive Keyboard is split between a Phrase Range (left) and a Chord Range (right). The basic principle is simple:
- When you press keys from C4* upwards, Virtual Guitarist SPARKLE will start playing a phrase with the chord determined by the notes you play. When you release the key(s), playback will stop.
- MIDI notes below C4 don’t represent musical keys but switches varying the phrasing of your player in real-time. This is a powerful way of making your performance interesting and dynamic.
- By turning up the Modulation Wheel, you can morph from normal to shorter to dead notes – another powerful way of varying phrases.
If you know these things and can switch presets, you know all you need to start producing with Virtual Guitarist SPARKLE.
*C4 is one octave above middle C. The MIDI note number is 72. Some DAWs refer to it as C5.

Find Your Guitar Sound
Virtual Guitarist SPARKLE focuses on clean to crunchy electric guitar strumming (chord, octaves, single notes), a rhythmic staple in any kind of music spanning a range of over 50 years from the 60s to today.
It offers you a wide range of playing styles and sound characters from clean and funky to fat and crunchy. Ujam Instruments have created a virtual instrument even top composers and musicians will find hard to tell apart from the real thing.
Guitar Controls
Position – This control emulates moving the picking hand between bridge and neck that provides control over sound aspects that create a realistic feel such as play position and fret noises.
Doubling – Activating this button has the same effect as if two guitarists played your track at the same time, with minimal variations. Technically, Doubling adds a second guitarist with a separate amp setup and places both at the outer positions of the stereo spectrum.
Amp – This knob lets you select from five carefully selected and set up combinations of typical guitar amps and speakers, providing a large range of rhythm guitar sounds at the turn of a single control.
Grit – Adds a gritty – overdriven, high-mid boost – component to the guitar signal.
Playing With The Built-In Effects
We strongly encourage you to use your go-to audio processing tools when perfecting your guitar tracks. However, in order to save you time and create a more interesting range of instantly accessible presets, we have included the three most important effects right on board: delay, chorus and reverb.
MIDI Learn
Using MIDI Learn, you can assign Virtual Guitarist SILK controls to controls on your hardware keyboard that send MIDI controller data. To assign a control, you usually right-click or ctrl-click a control in Virtual Guitarist SILK to open the MIDI Learn context menu of your DAW.
Native Kontrol Standard
Virtual Guitarist supports Native Instruments NKS. Virtual Guitarist will be mapped to Komplete Kontrol keyboards and Maschine straight out of the box. Enabling you to use Virtual Guitarist with the Light Guide, Smart Play features, and the full creative potential of KOMPLETE KONTROL without any configuration hassle.
