Writing a guitar sound synthesizer that sounds good is a very difficult thing. The best one out there (the proprietary Slayer generator) sounds pretty crummy. Since this song is industrial, and the main gist of it is just a few guitar chords, using just a few samples of the guitar sounds and some creative song restructuring could produce excellent results. So, if Audiality has or will have a sample player, I would use that for the guitar sounds (I'd be happy to provide clips). Otherwise, instead of trying to synthesize guitars, just come up with really gritty in face-melting synth sounds and use some of the aforementioned "creative song restructuring." I don't know what your music hook up is like, but I would highly recommend listening to the sounds on "Exiled on Mainline" by Chemlab and "Edgecrusher (Urban Assault Mix)" by Fear Factory. I further recommend comparing the Fear Factory song against the original version to see how far "creative song restructuring" can get you. Whew, that was long winded! [pb]
