I was interested in using some MIDI sounds for recordings with plugins and such, but was wondering on how to use guitar for it instead of a keyboard. I know Roland makes something that would work, but I wouldn't need it for a live situation with effects; I want to harness the virtual MIDI instruments in the recording software.
I have a Digitech Whammy that I know has MIDI on it but I am not sure if it will send the sort of signal that I want. Are there any other more affordable just-to-record with solutions you know of? I mean, if I don't like doing it than it's only a few dollars for a cord compared to Roland's $1000 or so investment. As always, Thanks! (And no, I really don't feel like buying a dedicated guitar to do this - which is why I was first intrigued about Roland's mountable pickup - large price though  )

I just ordered one; it's not as flexible as a guitar - but considering it's not really a guitar, and sends perfect midi, doesn't need to be tuned, gets your data directly in place, has a tremelo, and so on, it's something I've wanted for a long time, but like you, don't want to spend $$$. This one comes with a MIDI > USB cable, too. FWIW I also ordered the DD-55 MIDI drum unit 'cause I'm sick of playing drums on my keyboard. Andrew |
