Electric guitar.

Written as MIDI. Played as an electric guitar — clean.

Write the part in your piano roll and get a guitar back on the track — picked, clean and dry, so the amp and the pedals stay yours.

Hear it.

This is the clean signal, before any amp. Listen for the pick attack and the notes ringing into each other on open strings.

The part is the melody of After You’ve Gone — 34 notes at 138 bpm, the one the chooser on /sources plays on every instrument. This is the electric guitar’s render as it came back: nothing played, sampled or edited.

The chooser’s melody — 34 notes at 138 bpm — rendered as electric guitar. Nothing played, sampled or edited.

§ 02 · In your DAW

MIDI in. Audio out.

Write the part in the piano roll you already use — Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, REAPER, Cubase and Studio One — with dø1 on the track, or upload a .mid at /tools/sources. Notes, timing and velocity are read as written.

What comes back is a electric guitar take: dry, close-mic, 24-bit / 48 kHz, on the track it came from. Usually 20 to 60 seconds. Render again and you get a different take.

Rendering in the browser is free with an account — 120 credits a month, 10 per 30-second render. The plugin is part of Pro, $12 a month: 2,000 credits, dø1 (AU and VST3) and Dø Desktop, which installs it.

Clean on purpose.

The render is the signal at the end of the cable, before the amp. Distortion is the most song-specific decision on a guitar track, and a baked-in tone would make every part sound like one record. Put the render through your amp sim and it reacts the way a DI track does, because that is what it is.

On a guitar two notes on the same string cannot ring together, a chord has a direction, and a riff has a hand moving along the neck. A sampled guitar played from a keyboard ignores all three. Here a chord with staggered note-ons strums and a fast single line picks.

Questions.

Can I add distortion?

Add it yourself. The render is clean and dry; an amp plugin on the same track shapes it like a DI recording.

Does it do riffs and power chords?

It renders what you write — chords, lines, riffs — with a guitarist’s attack. Playing techniques are not separate presets; note length and velocity are what you have, as on the instrument.

Is it free?

Rendering in the browser is free with an account — 120 credits a month, 10 per 30-second render. The plugin is part of Pro, $12 a month.
