MIDI Guitar

🙂

Better than my Roland hardware

Seems like I spent $20 on the virtual midi out component, but it doesn’t apply to the MacOS version, which I would be using just as much if it didn’t require another IAP … but maybe I’m just confused. I do know that the 3rd version of this app in Beta on MacOS looks and sounds awesome.

I’ve been toying with pitch-to-MIDI devices for over 25 years, first using a Roland GI-10 as it has a monophonic input. I’ve tried various pickup devices for my trumpet and this always seemed to be the weak link. I just got the P9 PiezoBarrel pickup and now this app really shines, but a good USB audio interface helps. Tracking is amazing. Tweaking the attack envelope settings in the synth app help to reduce the percussive effect of many sounds made for keyboards. The effects plug-ins add to the straight trumpet sound, and I can blend the regular trumpet sound with a layered synth. Miles would have really dug this app!

ive reser my iphone many times Wheres the auv3/au version thats supposed to show in AUM?

I love this app it is definitely a five star review all the way If its not working right your gain staging or inputs and outputs are probably set too high or not right try readjusting them and make sure permission for the mic to midi guitar is enabled too

if you know what you’re doing… you can slowly strum a C chord on guitar and have a cascading chorus of vocals and stings playing along with each note. This paired with a midi note probably filter, or other midi fx and the possibilities are endless and the drag on cpu is not so bad. This app blows minds. This, idensity, and a drum machine/sequencer in your AuV3 host of choice (apematrix or aum), and some basic fx and you can make truly other worldly sounds. And beautiful sounds, etc. And yes, there is a built in noise gate, built in pitchbend functionalality, the ability to switch between mono and polyphonic midi output… like i said: dream machine

I am amazed how well this works. I have a Roland Gr-33 rig and this tracks notes better with far less random ghost notes. Plus this is easier to set up. It may have slightly more latency but barely noticeable and it was easy to adjust my playing to compensate for. Worked perfect with my synths in Cubasis with out any hassle. I doubt I will be using the on boards sounds much they are decent and easy to get different sounds out of. I’m a crummy keyboard player and this is perfect for recording midi parts. My Roland is getting likely getting sold now that I have this.

The tracking is ok within the app itself for the few instruments you see (free and paid version are the same instruments) but when you use the external paid midi feature for Garageband instruments you may find that the tracking suffers slightly (more than the likes of a GR55). If you’re playing instrumentation with sustained chords/notes (violin, keyboard, synth etc )then it’s fine all around but if you’re trying to play eighth notes(midi bass guitar , midi arpeggios on a grand piano etc) you’ll get occasional dropped notes and incorrect notes depending on the tempo and other factors. It’s usable mostly for recording at home but it just depends if this is needed for a ‘live’ performance.

This app has blown me away… Using it with an ipad pro and it is nearly latency free and works with all of my keyboards… i put down my traditional guitar rig and have been playing this for the past few months… fellow musicians are equally amazed at the sounds Ive been getting… this technology used to cost hundreds/thousands of dollars and it didnt sound this good! Wow…
