[Rwp] Midi controllers and VST's

[TheOreoMonster]

As another guitarist, those are your options other than picking up a inexpensive midi keyboard for the purpose.  VST’s are usually effects like EQ’s compressors, Delays, Chorus, etc etc. VSTI’s are instruments like soft synths and samplers and etc which can use midi note DATA to generate sound.  You cannily run midi through a VSTI if the program supports hosting VST/VSTI’s for that purpose.
