Guitar Shaped MIDI Controller

>>60997682
Why would you want this?
Just plug your electric guitar in an AI & record

Any serious electronic musician learns to play a keyboard.

>>60997719
in an AI? i've tried plugins that analyze the sound but they're not entirely accurate and don't work well with chords. i don't know, it seems logical, there are MIDI keyboards galore, it'd only make sense that they'd make a MIDI controller in the shape of a guitar
>>60997732
yea well yknow im already famous get bent

>>60997755
AI = audio interface

>>60997784
oh. pf well that has obvious limitations i.e. everything's gonna sound like a guitar & will input as audio. none of the advantages of inputting midi. another five years & they'll be commonplace, surely ...... & then I'LL be the one laffin

totally janked my own thread with my nasty attitude.......

& ITS LIKE-- oh hoyp doyp every 'srs' electronic musician just ABANDONS their instrument of choice & sits at a keyboard. doesnt HAVE to be that way. it's only that way because no one got their SH•T together enough to put a cheap guitar midi controller on the market. 'sept for these yourock people but they didn't MAKE enough of em to go around and now they're a rarity. horsesh•t

hmmmmmmmmmmm... so you put this on the guitar, & it interfaces with another piece of equipment? what else would i need to get sh•t poppin?

>>61002036
I think now it has MIDI out, but in past it usually had synth pedalboard too. Or it might always have had MIDI. If just a real MIDI out then you attach to any synth you have that has in. Which is most of them. For virt synths on comp just get a MIDI in/out for hardly anything. I'm sure more spendy variations on this are out there but this used to be it and the standard.

>>61002130
Nope still need the pedalboard to convert the pickup signal to MIDI. It's fun stuff but be prepared to drop a bit of cash.

>>61002195
Also you'll get a bit of lag it's not an analog signal. I bet it's much better now. I want one too haha..

>>61001924
but can't a >>60997755 famous guitarist like yourself just input midi via sequencer?

Here's some doofus demoing one

The thing is that a guitar chord although it has the same notes as a chord on a piano, has a much larger range. For example some notes are octaves apart whereas on a keyboard you'd play them within the octave. Playing them on a keyboard would be a total pain in the ass.

It's a subtle thing that will get you different results. Sure you could waste 10 minutes trying to play in the same guitar chord from the guits MIDI in on a keyboard, but then you just could have strummed the chord.

Also, you can connect to the "real" pickup of the guitar and the MIDI one at the same time. So you can create sounds much like Bootsy Collins who has a ton of pickups and outs on his bass. Bootsy though as far as I know always just used those normal pickups.

It's more of a subtle thing and it's a valid approach for a certain type of sound for sure.

it's also funny you asked here OP because everyone gets their full sip of hateraide before they make a post.
Like some faggot who worries about which linux distro he's running would know anything about this shit.
