What is the difference between "FingerpickPro Acoustic" and "FingerpickPro Acoustic ELEMENTS"?

In FingerpickPro Acoustic - Elements

• There are 12 chords in each Key Instrument, not 36.
• These are the 12 chords that appear on page 1 of each Chord Chart file.
• They include the most commonly used chords in the key: I, IV and V major; II, III and VI minor; II, III and VI minor 7; I7, V7 (and an alternate voicing of I major).
• For example, in the key of C that means: C, F and G major, D, E and A minor, D, E and A minor 7, G7, C7 and an alternate voicing of C major.
• The Keyswitches for these chords are in the octave starting at C0 on the keyboard (the same as they are in the full version).
• There is no Chord Shift Instrument or Velocity Instrument.
• Everything else is the same.
• *NB. You could produce all the demos below using the Keyboard Layout (Keyswitch) instrument in Elements.

FingerpickPro Acoustic - Expansion

• FingerpickPro Acoustic - EXPANSION allows you to 'upgrade' from ELEMENTS to attain the full functionality of FingerpickPro Acoustic.
• Elements already contains all the samples and documentation. The Expansion provides the full set of instruments for FingerpickPro Acoustic.
• Just go to the STRUM TRACKS STORE to buy the Expansion.

• A sample library in the SFZ format
• Requires the free Sforzando Player from Plogue
• 176mb of samples, using flac lossless compression (uncompressed size 1.00 Gb)
• For more, go to the Installation page
• For full information and documentation go to the Online Manual

• FingerpickPro Acoustic comes with a set of midi files to help you get started. You can download the midi files as a zip file (see below). You can listen to how each will sound using the audition files below, which you can also download as a set.
• The audition files here are necessarily in one key and tempo, but their midi files can be used in any of the key instruments, at any tempo. (This includes No. 12 which uses the percussive sounds included in each key instrument, not as if in a natural perfomance, but simply using the percussive samples as a sound source.)

*Note that all the midi files are for the Key Instruments, except 13 & 14 which use one of the keyboard-style instruments, the Keyswitch Instrument. This is not part of the chord-based system.

FingerpickPro continues StrumTracks' aim of producing virtual instruments designed especially for those who don't play keyboard. Without playing a note on a keyboard, and using a minimal amount of midi you'll be able to produce sophisticated fingerpicking tracks quickly and easily.
