    I read manual but it didn't explain about bending, trill, feedback and power chord except in the riffer and tab mode. Is it possible to activate them on midi editor in DAW?

    With usual MIDI roll scripting/scoring you just enter the separate notes for chords.
    The riffer and strummer are different modes, some things can't even be fully replaced with regular MIDI scoring. Like a powerchord mute with one open string left. That would require per-note MIDI scoring. It's things like that the ones that will be solved by MPE standard.

    Classic note keyswitches for articulations for anything else.

    Wow, didn't know that. Quite the bug.

    PS. I've barely used v3 versions precisely because they still are too green, so perhaps some things are different/new from v2, besides the effects.

    The devs have known about it for 5 years, guess it's a feature! :D Anyway, you can't use the mod wheel, sus etcs either, so basically makes v3 / vst3 completely useless! Esp w/ AEU, which is only useful w/ pb. (The amount of annoyance / broken controllers suspected etcs! )=

    Thanks, but what if you use ver 2 instead of 3? Is it still the same?

    In my opinion, added the amp sims just a big change, but you can use other third-party ones. Plus, the file size of v3 is much bigger than v2. Especially, the guitars. The file size of AGLP is 3 times bigger than AGG2. Dang! I rather stay with ver 2 unless the devs make an innovative change.

    Yes, it's been an issue since 2015! I think you can still use / install vst2 with the latest (v3) versions, I haven't really used everything, so I can't say for sure throughout. It's really only the vst3 ones (ie .vst3 plugins) with this issue, so I don't think the version # matters. Files like (ie) AGM2.dll should be fine. (Some DAWs will prioritize VST3, so it's best to delete / not install the vst3 if you can, until they bother to bugfix.)

    Also, the v2 plugs use the same samples as v3 afaik. I think the (sometimes) extended size comes from having (ie) pick & finger samples included.

    I've never used AS VST3 because the v2 ones doesn't have it.
    But these bugs are so big that I can't wrap my head around how they don't fix them.

    I agree. Regarding the samples size, be careful comparing because many have two pickup positions, and some of them were optional in v2. AGG/AGLP should have two pickups thus two sample sets.

    I found it is not a problem with VST3, but is DAW. Since I switched my DAW to Reaper. Most plugins work properly. Even VST2 didn't work properly in the previous DAW. Give it a shot.

    What DAWs doesn't work well with them?

    Oops, my bad. It was S1, but I set up wrong the midi keyboard setting. The pitch wheel works fine with both VST3 and VST2 after fixing it. But RealGuitar and RealStrat Song mode drag function still doesn't work properly in S1, Cubase and Ableton.

    Perhaps in MusicLab's it's a bug, as the cr*cked ones I saw are like v5.0.0.2

    Maybe, but they work fine in FL and Reaper.

    Weird, guess it's just a problem w/ Cubendo? And they invented VST3, ffs! =) Still baffling that it doesn't work.

    Edit: it's not just Cubendo, apparently. But does still affect us guys. You can tell that amplesound really listens to feedback and responds really quickly! (I don't think much of them as a dev, tbh, reading their nonsense replies about it!)

    I think it's just a problem of cr*cked ones, but not VST3 as Xupito said.
