This is seriously a satisfying midi guitar, love how it gives you plenty of options to adjust and select any instrument to your hearts content. Maybe someday in the future I'll consider getting one of those.
I can see elements of the old Synthaxe in this, blended with the look of Steinberg's headless guitar. - As can be expected, there will be teething problems. Such is the way with anything that's brand new. Feedback's going to be important to see early improvements. - My impression? My Grandkids might be asking if Christmas can come early this year, especially as they're being very good at home right now. - Keep safe & keep well!
I love your honesty and it's very fair. I have a very similar approach to you but I don't have experience in making videos all of which makes me very attracted to your style. Keep up the good work.
My piezo pickups in my Godin somehow output MIDI into an old Axon and it works perfectly. I can assign every string to a different MIDI channel, can assign zones on the fretboard, can assign velocity to any CC, as well as assign to a CC the position at which I pluck the string. Shame they don't make them anymore but they're cheap second hand. It does great pitchbend. That the Axon allows me to use a really nice, real guitar is a massive plus. However, if you are not a dedicated guitarist who plays cleanly, you will get horrible micro notes (which the logical editor can remove) but playing properly solves that!
Hello, can you possibly also make a video on how to record standard notations and TAB notations simultaneously with the jammy guitar in Sibelius. That would be great.
Is this a late April's fool vid? .... No? Wow! :) Cannot believe the results you were getting with this, I really want to try one. I love the idea of travelling with one.
Been curious about these because i've always thought it would be really cool to play a solo on a synth with a guitar midi controller so i can get that same tonal expression of a guitar but have access to more sounds than what a guitar has to offer.
Dom you look so happy! Awesome!!! You got mad guitar skills too! As a guitar player and wannabe synth player, this is quite interesting. How's the latency?
Hey Geoffrey, I am not even close to have mad guitar skills but I can play :) I didn't experience any noticeable latency, I guess it must be a bit higher with the Bluetooth interface but my PC doesn't have bluetooth so I didn't test it. :)
What about the 'note on/note' off part of the instrument? What are the 'note on/note off' strings made out of? Are they durable? Can they be broken? If so, how are they replaced, and are they easily replaced if broken?
The hardest part of using the jammy for me is 1. Getting sensitivity just right so there’s not too many weird notes and bends. 2. Having no midi port makes it so I have to run through my DAW via usb and then out of my daw with physical midi into my hardware synths. But this way I can’t make use of cool features like each string sending out different midi notes. Anyone know of any good software to use as an alternative USB MIDI hub to bypass using a MIDI track in the DAW? Wish I had some synths with usb class compliant inputs for usb midi straight into hardware
@@uncomely I have not tried plugging it directly into my MPC Live which supports usb class compliant midi devices. Should work great. Otherwise I know the Jammy G frame (could be wrong on the name) has a 5-pin midi out port
Hello Dom.... Hope you are doing GREAT !!!! Just want to ask something specific about the Jammy.. Assuming the user is a keyboard player just like you & an average guitar player.. Will the Jammy be helpful in making nice Legato/pitch/modulation like effects when playing instruments like Sitar / Flutes / Sakunachi / Brass & Reeds That is hard to accomplish with a general MIDI keyboard ? In short .. what do make of an idea to use the Jammy more "like a seaboard" than a ordinary MIDI guitar or a MIDI keyboard.... Thanks ever so much for your wonderful efforts in educating the world.. !!! God bless & Stay Safe.. !!!!
There’s some good guitar software out there for learning or making tab, some with graphic virtual fretboards. But they require a one midi channel per string feature. I can’t find anything that says for sure Jammy can assign midi channels to individual;al strings. Could you check and verify for me that it can do this? Thanks Dom, you are the best!
12:06 hi Dom what orchestra library you use when you play? Thanks for help after see your vídeos i buy a modx and is an amazing keyboard for my band! Thanks a lot.
I'm a beginner guitar player (just a few months) and I'm considering buying this to make it easier to put in guitars for my arrangements. Currently it's quite difficult to set up strumming with proper voicing. I'm using Ample Guitar strumming mode but it's not always easy to customize. I'm wondering if I should get this... I will have to work on my guitar skills though because they are still pretty basic. Also - anyone knows if it can send each string via a different MIDI channel? I think Ample Guitar can take advantage of this when they interpret the music being played.
I have MIDI GUITAR 2 on my iPad I can control my Roland Juno G & all of my app synths. Hardly any latency. My Boss GT100 has midi out in mono & that works too. This looks cool.
I started playing keys because none of the MIDI guitar controllers I tried could give the precision and control that even a $99 keyboard controller can give you. A year later I have half a dozen keyboard controllers and a MODX7 synth, (I can thank both Dom and @woodypianoshack for the inspiration to get the MODX) If someone ever develops a guitar controller that works like a guitar the same way that a keyboard controller works like a keyboard, I'm in. Otherwise, I'll keep working on my keyboard technique.
@@DomSigalas thanks man, Im a Cubase user since 1992 changed to other programs and now Im back so Im learning a lot from your videos, is there a way to fix the fonts are so small , went thru forums and everything but either you have it blurry or hdpi so little can even see, best wishes and be safe x
Yes it does! But it has an option to turn it off. As I was using it mostly for strumming or chords I felt it was cleaner if the bends were of. But it certainly can do bends and it even has a bend range setting too ;)
Since most libraries have the slap on velocities over 120 then you can use velocity to do that. But it all depends on the library :) Yes it will work with bass as well :)
@@DomSigalas It's funny, I'd be using this thing for the exact reverse reasons... I'm a guitarist who can't play keyboard/piano. So I recently bought a plugin that converts guitar audio signals into MIDI data. So I can now play piano/keyboard parts for my songs in Cubase because I'm playing them with my guitar. The plugin is Jam Origin's MIDI Guitar 2. Jammy MIDI Guitar does the same thing, except the guitar is designed for the application so the signal/data is much higher quality and more accurate than the converter that I use. I will have to wait for the price to come down, but I'm definitely going to grab a Jammy MIDI guitar! Thanks for the review.
Hey Dom Sigals, is it possible to make it ring as long as you would like (synth pads) like on synth, or it rings as long the string resonates, like with guitar? Thank you!
Hahaha because I also play the guitar! I am a self-taught guitarist but not a virtuoso by any stretch of the imagination :) But I do record guitars myself for my productions and for other people ;)
Why does everyone who demos synth guitar stuff first start with guitar sound. Will this guitar make guitar sounds. Wow it sounds like bad guitar. Let's ignore the cool stuff.
When I see this sort of intrument I expect fast solo, bending, tremolo, etc. Because it's there that it could make (or not) the difference. Struming is cool but certainly not sufficient. Unboxing and synth or string sounds bother me. I want to know the capabilities as soon as possible and guitar sound is the best to assess realism.
It's a piece of junk which I regret buying. It looks like something from the toy aisle in Dollar General. One of the strings was too loose, and this thing fell apart just from me opening the back to get to the string tension adjuster.
This review took ages to create, comparing it with a review that touches nowhere where I did is not fair in my opinion (even though it’s a great video!) - I explain all the good and the bad and what’s possible. I encourage you to make your own decision - this product is not for everyone :) I showed what you can do from a producers perspective- it opens ways to control synths and libraries if you are a guitarist only. I am not- I am a professional piano player and I a self taught guitarist. What I show on the video is not fabricated - it is real. I wouldn’t use this instrument to play shredding solos :)
It is a nice device but you can't buy it the website is still online but it is a startup and i bought this for over 1 year. It costs 500 euro and i never get one. In this time there are some offers for less money. So i would take the Evo guitar but they don't like to change my order and to get my money back is no option for them. Yes I know about the Ukraine war and the problems but if the Jammy-people still online and collecting money what are they doing? On Facebook i have contacted them and they respond but not now. So guys be careful, i don't know that they are cheating!
It's great. Shame that the company have ripped off hundreds of customers including myself. Took my cash over 2 years ago. Wont send it and wont refund me. I wouldn't promote this to be honest.
![Best Midi Guitars, let's compare... [Jamstik Studio, Artiphon Instrument 1, Jammy]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VkYsJ3twWpg/mqdefault.jpg)
The fact that you can just plug it into a synth is a GAME CHANGER.
I am buying this!!

Thank you for another awesome video as always Super Dom! You're a great guitarist!
Dom, you are a blast to watch. Great job!
That's a fun video! Like the idea of controlling synths with a guitar! Hehe!
Thanks! Brilliant! :)

The thing you play at about 6:20 kinda sounds like Mass Effect.
Whoa!! How did I miss THIS?????

jammy bass guitar would be cool
Way to go Dom :)
Good review Dom! Could you comment on the Midi latency of this device please? Thank you 🙏🏽
Cool 😄👍
Is it possible to connect this guitar in to a keyboard like Roland jd xi or Roland system 1
wow I thought it was cool to plug in all my guitars and trying to fix it on cubase now this solves a huge problem
How ??
Have you tried Jamstik Studio?
Lol, "sometimes it would trigger a note when it was not supposed to, and vice versa." :) amazing
Well, since then they released many updated that fixed the issues. The guys care and I am very happy to see that. :)
@@DomSigalas thanks! :)

Hey David! It’s called Iconica Ensembles :)
@@DomSigalas thanks Dom :)
Can someone do guitar strumming in midi files to use in styles that i create in cubase? Thanks
Hello Dom, do you know if there is a left-hand version of this guitar available?
I'm a beginner guitar player (just a few months) and I'm considering buying this to make it easier to put in guitars for my arrangements. Currently it's quite difficult to set up strumming with proper voicing. I'm using Ample Guitar strumming mode but it's not always easy to customize.

Great thing!!!
can jam origin 2 do the same? I dont want to spend 500. Still pretty awesome
I haven't tried that specific model unfortunately so cannot really tell! Drop the guys at Jammy an email, they are lovely people :)
I have MIDI GUITAR 2 on my iPad I can control my Roland Juno G & all of my app synths. Hardly any latency. My Boss GT100 has midi out in mono & that works too. This looks cool.
Reverbs toturial plz bro
Wowzer!
Can you use a usb to midi host to play synths without going through a daw or computer?
can you make a fisher vs this guitar? test this thingy with guitars from orangetrees sample, pls
Wow strumming on synths 😱... it’s so cool ... we can create easy strumming s with vst s.. can get rid of mics for guitar recordings .. s
Yes! Strumming is easy with this! That’s my favourite thing to do with it. But I would keep those mics too hahaha!
What is it that you play in the beginning of the video? It sounds so familiar to me!
Hello. Have you tried strumming midifiles? Like a real guitar.
Any left-handed options on these?
Its fukingnamazing, nada más tenga la pasta me la pillaré, que locura
DOES IT WORK WITH any other SYNTH?
I started playing keys because none of the MIDI guitar controllers I tried could give the precision and control that even a $99 keyboard controller can give you.
A year later I have half a dozen keyboard controllers and a MODX7 synth, (I can thank both Dom and @woodypianoshack for the inspiration to get the MODX)
If someone ever develops a guitar controller that works like a guitar the same way that a keyboard controller works like a keyboard, I'm in. Otherwise, I'll keep working on my keyboard technique.
You might want to look at the Jamstik Studio MIDI guitar. Been scoping it out, it looks pretty righteous.
whats about bendings? Does it work as a guitar, if you bend a string?
Is it velocity sensitive ? otherwise it wont sound natural
This thing is really cool...makes me wish I could play guitar!
Is it my impression or the neck of this thing is shorter than real guitars (has less frets)?
Can i use this in windows? Ableton to be specific
Dom : I Played *CFX* with Using a Guitar
Bert Smorenburg : *Hold My Bear*
+Sahaja Verma hahahahaha
I’d be worried about latency and being able to play with a click. But I want to get one and make a trap beat with it just for fun lol
How I can get it
THAT BLACKBOX HG-2 O.O
this is cool when it comes to guitar the keys just cant sound that real like that did
Cant i buy just a normal e-g and connekt?
Out of all the ones I've used this felt more natural :)
fisher triplay with this midi guitar
what is that little square module in the corner, behind you? That unit on top of the rack unit?
The green one? It’s a Kemper guitar amp :)
Dom Sigalas cool thanks.
Ok I need 7 of that
does anyone know any guitarist interested in strumming me midifiles? thanks
I guess it can also work like a bass?
Amazing video as always, whats the vst/Kontakt library for that brass sound ? Cheers x
Thanks Oscar, that was the Iconica Ensembles library :)

Great video Dom (as usual). Does the Jammy track bends at all?
Yes it does! But it has an option to turn it off. As I was using it mostly for strumming or chords I felt it was cleaner if the bends were of. But it certainly can do bends and it even has a bend range setting too ;)
Hi Dom. What is that sad story about your guitars?
Guitar/synth addiction hahaha!
@@DomSigalas I can see that, :)) but I”m sure we all have benefits from your addiction
Does this work with kontakt libraries? I will buy this instantly if i can control my kontakt libraries.
Yes it can :) it’s midi so it works with everything!
Man, I was hoping you'll play some bass guitar..tired of drawing parts with mouse, curious about slap technique.
Since most libraries have the slap on velocities over 120 then you can use velocity to do that. But it all depends on the library :)

Great video ! does the midi recording in cubase work well? Can you see the notes like recording midi with piano for exemple ?
Yes it does work pretty much like any midi controller- but instead of keys, you use strings ;)
Your a pretty good guitar player..but I wanted here it play more orchestral sounds
Dom- I can play some guitar but I am mainly a keyboard player

Das geht aber auch einfacher mit Cubase.Und man spart Geld,wenn man schon eine e Gitarre hat.
nothing a yourock guitar can't do or Fishman Triple
Yourock guitar its better more features and cheap.
This sucked. Take more time, it’s like a coked out session. Wanted to hear more intricacies with the hard synth.
by playing shitty VST guitars
it completely ruins the review.
