Jam Origin MIDI Guitar v2 (beta 8)

[stonberg]

If, like me, you play keyboards very much akin to a camel wearing boxing gloves, then this could be the software you've been waiting for.

v1 was good.

v2 is...I can only assume some form of devilish witchcraft!

Real-time, polyphonic conversion of guitar to MIDI in software. Including pitch bend and slide information. I cannot even detect any latency; I feel more latency when playing the TD30 as a MIDI controller.

This is quite simply the best piece of music software I've ever tried. It's available as a free trial. Stand-alone or VST 2.4 plugin variants, 32-bit and 64-bit flavours. It's even better than any hardware guitar->MIDI solution out there. I've been waiting for the v8 beta to come along before saying anything about it, as this is the first v2 release which includes the plugins.

I can't put into words how mind-boggling awesome this software is (<- apart from like that).

You could always play keyboards, driving a guitar synth and then feed that into MIDI Guitar...

...wait a minute!?

Hahahaha,

Actually, I can play most of the chords, but I don't know scales so can't do solos.

I much prefer to play MIDI keyboard then fix my mistakes in the DAW...

I've tried it long time ago, but it was rather slow and imperfect.

Would you please post a link or something, some testimonials? Cheers (sorry, I'm so busy I will not give myself the time to investigate)

Anybody try it with a Bass? (I see they have Bass software, but it is not nearly as developed and still very much Beta...so curious if this Guitar version works well enough)

Convinced?

I've not tried the bass version, for sure the guitar version is quite a lot more developed/advanced.

You could try pitch shifting a bass up an octave and run that into a demo version of MIDI Guitar perhaps?
