I was about to buy the T-Guitar plug-in for Halion, which I think is really impressive. Then, by chance, I came across M-Guitar, also from Steinberg. And I think there may be other keyboard-playable virtual guitars out there from Steinberg. Can anyone please explain what is available and what the differences are between them? I can only afford to buy one. Thanks.
Certainly! Steinberg offers several virtual guitar plug-ins, each with its unique features and capabilities.
- T-Guitar plug-in for Halion: This plug-in is designed to emulate the sound and playability of a traditional guitar within the Halion environment. It offers realistic guitar tones and articulations, making it a popular choice among musicians looking for authentic guitar sounds in their compositions.
- M-Guitar: Another offering from Steinberg, M-Guitar provides a different set of features compared to T-Guitar. While it also aims to replicate the sound and feel of a guitar, M-Guitar may offer different guitar models, tones, and effects compared to T-Guitar. Users appreciate its versatility and flexibility in creating guitar tracks.
In addition to these options, Steinberg may offer other keyboard-playable virtual guitars as part of their software lineup. These could include different guitar models, playing styles, and sound-shaping options to suit various musical genres and preferences.
When deciding between T-Guitar and M-Guitar, consider factors such as your preferred guitar sound, playing style, and the specific features offered by each plug-in. You may want to listen to demos, read reviews, and compare the functionalities of both plug-ins to determine which best meets your needs and musical goals. Ultimately, investing in the plug-in that aligns with your musical vision will ensure you make the most of your purchase.
Thanks. I guess, as you say, I really need to hear demos of T-Guitar and M-Guitar - or wait until Steinberg has a deal on them and get both!
I wouldnβt bother with either.
Instead, check out MusicLab RealGuitar. Be patient and wait for a half-price sale.

I still havenβt figured out the difference between T-Guitar and M-Guitar
One is a Martin, the other a Taylor.
So are there any differences in functionality?
Unfortunately, I donβt know about that.
No, both libraries provide the same functionality. The main differences are the type of guitars sampled and the look of the user interfaces.
Here you find the corresponding user manuals:

I donβt use the pattern functionality and donβt really know the exact numbers. When scrolling through the menus, they appear identical to me at first glance:
