Steel Guitar PRO is a powerful guitar processor designed for musicians and music enthusiasts. It offers cutting-edge realtime audio generation and an expressive control interface, making it easy to create unique sounds. The app includes many guitar models, built-in amps and FX processing, MIDI control, and AUv3 support, all with a high level of customizability.

The control surface of Steel Guitar PRO is both powerful and familiar. You can simply touch the strings to pick notes and drag the slide bar to modulate pitch. With enhanced slide control, you can use multiple touches to tilt the slide bar or even dampen strings for more control. The app allows you to configure fretboard dimensions, string spacing, and the size of the pick guard. This flexibility, combined with minute pitch control and realistic vibrato, lets you experiment with various sounds. You can also adjust guitar tone settings, sustain and release times, and other touch behaviors.

Steel Guitar PRO comes with a wide range of guitars. You’ll find unique models such as humbuckers, single coils, and P90s. Whether you prefer six-string guitars or the 8- and 10-string steel guitar variants, you have plenty of choices. Each family of instruments offers multiple tunings, and you can even create and save your own. For added creativity, there are up to seven virtual pedals to bend strings, similar to a pedal steel. These pedals can be activated by tilting your device slightly, using MIDI, or with your fretting touch, allowing for complete user configuration.

The app features built-in FX processing, which means you can create a virtual signal chain by combining various amps and effects. Steel Guitar PRO includes a collection of a dozen custom-tuned amps and 20 FX, all specifically designed to generate the best tones. Each amp and effect has multiple parameters for precise tone modification, and these parameters are MIDI-mappable. This means you can easily control them with an external device. The amp collection ranges from bell-like cleans to thick overdrive, while the FX options include overdrives, distortions, analog-inspired pedals, mods, delays, and reverbs.

For those who use MIDI, Steel Guitar PRO can function as an AUv3 MIDI plugin. This custom MIDI sub-protocol allows the app and its powerful control interface to run smoothly inside an AUv3 host. You can also connect a traditional MIDI keyboard or device to play Steel Guitar PRO, which accommodates MIDI pitch and mod wheels, as well as key velocity.

Steel Guitar PRO also has many useful features. It includes a comprehensive preset management system that lets you save, modify, and share your “rigs” easily. The standalone app features a convenient audio tape deck, allowing you to record, play, loop, and import/export audio. The MIDI learn feature is intuitive and user-friendly, providing opportunities for deeper customization. All audio processing is done at the highest resolution, natively, and without resampling, supporting rates up to 96kHz. The fluid user interface integrates seamlessly with a variety of AUv3 hosts.

Overall, Steel Guitar PRO is an exceptional tool for creating music. With its range of features, customizable settings, and easy-to-use interface, it can cater to both beginners and advanced musicians alike. Whether you want to explore different guitar tones or create complex soundscapes, Steel Guitar PRO is designed to help you achieve your musical goals.
