Is there a Reason Rack Extension?

• We didn't create a Virtual Guitarist SILK Rack Extension. Please make sure to use the VST format if you're a user of Reason Studios. 
  
  

How can I use MIDI Drag and Drop in Virtual Guitarist SILK?

• SILK does not support this feature at this time but Virtual Guitarist CARBON supports MIDI Drag and Drop. 
  

Can I play SILK without using the built-in pattern? 

• No, VG SILK is meant to be used with the rhythm phrases. You can use the key C#0 to trigger a common phrase which will strum a single chord or note. Most users can work with that solution.

Can I create my own melodies? Does Virtual Guitarist SILK have an ''Instrument Mode''?

• Virtual Guitarist SILK does not have so far an instrument mode, where you can trigger single notes. All sounds of SILK are as a pattern/loop playable with loads of different styles and presets. The Virtual Guitarist CARBON is the only one with an ''Instrument Mode'' so far. 
  

Does the Virtual Guitarist series has an option to fine-tune? 

• No, this functionality is on our list and will eventually be added in the future. 
  

Are there any known issues? 

• In some rare cases, the plug-in stops playing or plays not what it's supposed to. The best workaround for this would be to delete the track instance quickly of the plug-in and then press ‘’undo’’ - then everything should work again.

• The plug-in might display "Update Available" although the version is actually up-to-date.

Digital Audio Workstations

VG-SILK should run on every DAW supporting VST 2, AU 2 and AAX. We cannot guarantee that VG-SILK is compatible with the following software:

• Adobe Audition
