Synth Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I've been wanting to control midi with my guitar for a while now. After reading around, it seams like the best way is to go with roland. They have a special pickup which you install on your guitar that sends vibrations into the roland box thing which converts them to midi if I understand right. Has anyone had any experience with this? I'd like to know what i'm limited to. I doubt its possible, but with this will the knobs and switches on my guitar work with midi to? I'd like to go for a cheaper route than roland(500-600), but so far I dont know of any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliceX Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Like MIDI violins or any MIDI variants of acoustics, you will never find one that's perfectly usable UNDER the $x K mark. The main reason is because they are more difficult to engineer than standard controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnappleMan Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 One of my very first electric guitars was one that I just happened to have, I think either someone gave it to my dad or I got it at a pawn shop, but it was equipped with a synth pickup system. Must have been broken or something, or my shitty onboard MIDI in, but it wouldn't really pick up anything correctly. Most of what I would record would have to be severely "corrected" (see fig. Ruined) using a mouse. So yeah, my experiance was pretty shitty. I've seen some synth systems for sale really cheap at some pawn shops around here, but I don't trust em at all.
