UJAM Sparkle - Use Pattern Switching To Generate Songwriting Ideas

See this content in the original post

UJAM’s range of Virtual Drummers, Bassists and Guitarists are more than just virtual instruments. Because they feature logically presented and easily accessible phrases and styles they can do more than just reproduce the ideas you put into them. They can generate ideas which contribute towards the stylistic development of a piece of music.

I’d always prefer to record people interacting and playing together, most people would. However when trying to develop ideas and get inspired to write a song, so many of us work in isolation. While that suits some, it doesn’t suit everyone and sometimes a little inspiration goes a long way. A UJAM Virtual Guitarist won’t write a song for you but if you put a chord sequence its way you might get back something you wouldn’t have thought of yourself. A bit like interacting with other players.

What Is Sparkle?

Sparkle is a single coil electric guitar instrument, which comes with loads of phrases, patterns and licks which range from clean and jangly to a little bit rougher but never dirty and distorted, For that you want Iron.
