![Best Midi Guitars, let's compare... [Jamstik Studio, Artiphon Instrument 1, Jammy]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VkYsJ3twWpg/mqdefault.jpg)
I bought the Fishman TriplePlay a number of years ago and it works great. Really good tracking and it's polyphonic.
Sean Daniel...the only person to move FROM Florida TO California in the past 15 years...good on you homie!
the ultimate contrarian!
😂
The ghost writer is chock full of sounds. Pretty impressive!!
Thanks Joe!
If you could get a Piezo pickup that can output each string separately, then get six of these pedals, then it can be polyphonic.That would be a weird set up.
At £183 it ain't cheap. The big question: what's the latency? It should be easy to measure this by recording guitar and MIDI into a DAW and zooming in closely. I have played around with a few things like this (eg Migic) and found that with all of them the latency is too great for practical use.
in the same price range an other option is the fishman triple play connect, i wish they had it with a classic sturdy midi cable connection instead of usb.
I bought a Fishman TriplePlay a few years ago and it works great. Looking online now it seems their newest version is wireless. That could be great not having to deal with a wire OR it could be a nightmare of connection issues all the time. LOL
Stopped watching when you said you can only play one note at a time. That renders this thing useless.
nice ...there is a midi guitar 2 plugin that will do the same but its not dawless. I want to run a midi signal from my guitar through Deepmind 12D module and use the akai force for recording so im am daw free .. and this looks promising. Also the boss sy series (300/1000) pedals can do this convention out nicely also but maybe little more expensive than the ghost writer .. great stuff!!
Reaper has an audio-to-MIDI plugin (ReaTune), but it has a LOT of latency.
@@davelanciani-dimaensionx midi 2 guitar is free to try full version, it has zero latency.
I can play any patch in serum on my guitar and record midi with the guitar like eassssyyyy, its dope af.
How's this compare to adding in a midi pickup? I just imagine the string sensors are gonna be so much more articulate than a through signal
Hi mate, do you know how well it tracks with a bass? I want to layer synth under my bass and have been looking for something like this!!
Amen brother! That would be such a selling point it not being the first thing they mention makes me pretty skeptical…
OK, but how fast can it actually track? If you play a faster arpeggio with let's say 8 - 16 notes per second, would it be able to handle that?
I wonder can you also plug a bass into it?
Doubt if pitch bending works
Midi 2 Guitar is what anyone is looking for, its free to try, you dont need hella expensive midi-gear, guitar and audio interface is all you need.
It has zero latency, tracks insanely good, lets you play any synth without hassle what more can you ask for??
there are plenty Gtr-->MIDI controllers. Axon AX50 unit. Roland GK3 & GK5. Godin. Fishman Triple Play Wireless/cable iPad. Now software direct via audio interface MIDI Guitar v3.
How accurate Ghost Writer is? In any method of recording guitar as MIDI you have to correct the track manually for a long time. With Ghost Writer do you also have to correct tracks manually or is it 100% accurate?
It seems pretty accurate and articulate
Ahab. Starbuck was his first mate. Ishmael is the narrator. "Call me Ishmael." Trade ya this for this good video.
That is VERY cool. Do you know if the Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 3rd Gen will do the same thing? I've looked for a Ghost Writer in Canada and on Amazon but no luck. I'm guessing I'd plug my Strat into one side and the other into my KOMPLETE keyboard and it will trigger the midi sounds in Logic Pro. I'm a guitar player, not a keyboard player and this would be great. Thanks.
So it can only detect monophonic lines? That is a pity, as long as a guitar to MIDI device is not able to be polyphonic, I wouldn't border to get it.
Gibson conquered concept of robot tuners? Okay maybe the concept... But the implementation? I think robot tuners are great concept but I haven't seen any integrated into the tuning pegs that actually work... Please tell me if I'm missing something!!
Anyone tried this with a bass guitar?
Well, you have made a very nice review. But in my opinion the pedal is useful in a live context. I bought the Jammy Guitar (which is very shitty built, all plastic etc, but the tracking is very good and for my studio performances I am satisfied), and I have insatlled the MIDI Guitar 2 plugin from Jam Origin and it is not so bad at all. Anyway, it is a very nice tool to fullfill our frustrated dreams of playing good keyboards.
Wow! You love it?
The new Jam Synth GK beta for Mac has some very robust and very low latency guitar to MIDI
Hey question...can i use this to tab stuff on guitar pro? I heard guitar pro 6 has a real time feature to record midi. But id like to use it on latest versions. i dont want to invest on a pricey controller. I may have to remap the notes i figure
Should be able to reamp a di into this and have it add layers in the mix right?
It was Tronical who came up with the "robot" tuners. Gibson only licensed the technology.
I didn't know that! good call.
@@seandaniel23 But the guitar crime-of-the-century has to be the fact that _proper_ autotune was kinda ignored. I suspected it would happen so within 15 minutes of unpacking my first Peavey AT-200 (integrated Antares Autotune), I placed an order for another one.
Two weeks ago, I found a NIB AT-200 and snapped it up immediately ($250). My fourth one I found on eBay by sheer luck because it's the only one I have with the "Complete" firmware pack and it's absolutely amazing.
No matter how much you spend, you won't achieve perfect intonation, right? The AT-200 not only auto-tunes but every note of every fret is perfect. Even finger pressure doesn't affect it.
Without physically adjusting the tuners, one can switch to any tuning with zero delay. Capo-up _or_ capo-down(!) instantly.
Yes, the Line6 Variax (I have 2) has alternate tunings _but_ it can't autotune.
So, I have four of what I consider to be the most amazing guitars (one with "Complete" firmware an three with basic firmware)
for a total investment of
If you don't need real time midi. The Ableton Audio to MIDI works really well.
No polyphony? Useless
No.
Just layer it to create harmonies! Or use it with plugins set to chord mode! 🔥
@@Culdune useless lol
Yeah, if you were playing a Bass it wouldn't be that egregious, but monophony on a guitar is a really bad drawback.
Does the volume knob effect how long the note sustains?
Close; it was captain Ahab.
what about the latency ?
What happened to Davi. Haven’t seen him on here for awhile
Hmm. So on those rare times the bass player doesn't show up, and I draw the short straw, I could run this through a laptop and play bass on my 335 using the MIDI/ an app and a bass tone? Yes, I'm not happy on those nights I have to play bass. I even bought a fret-less P-bass to make it better, still no bueno. 8( Are you still in Cali Sean? Looks a little 'cramped' there?? LOL Hope your having fun! 8) --gary
haha yup, i would say that's actually the #1 thing about it. make it into a bass guitar. sounds much better than an octave pedal
pewdiepie that likes to play guitar and shares coolest tips! COOL! Thank you!
do you have the new jamstik?
Nice to see Pewdiepie enjoying his new career.
Ishmael isn't the captain, it's Ahab!
need one but for poly!
Can you hook this up to any korg triton?
Hey Shawn my nephew asked me if I knew who Stevie T was lol i said yes and he showed me a video he was watching of stevie.
I then unsubbed him and subscribed him to Sean Daniels the people's channel.
Uncle of the year!
Non polyphonic is a non starter for me. I think Roland's almost there and in a few years they'll have perfected polyphonic, no special pickup guitar to MIDI/synth conversion.
Its alot different ""
Works on bass?
We get nothing on bass.
Wait...Sean come on. You've searched far and wide? A 15minute Google search would uncover the Godin guitars, Carvin NS1 (now Kiesel NS1), and recently the Jamstick options...dude, the best is the Carvin NS1 in terms of tracking. Lookup the Steve Miller demo video from 13 YEARS AGO. You can do better than this. After the fact pedals won't EVER be able to convert an analog sound to midi. It technically is impossible. Then there's some not as good ones like Fishman triple play, Roland GK3 addon, etc that work too but not near as flawlessly as the Carvin NS1 (wish I had one!!). Tons of options out there my dude.
Well, he was looking for a software solution, obviously. His friend Andres Colin has been on the channel numerous times: check out that guy's YT channel. He makes a living gigging with a Godin Multiac Grand Concert SA nylon guitar, with built-in 13-pin GK cable output to Roland's GR-33 (previous model before the GR-55). A very versatile kit for a good guitarist who can multi-task. The GR-55 can save & play profiles from a USB stick which minimizes the amount of on-the-fly setup you have to do when gigging. Very impressive.
Point is, Sean is perfectly familiar with that kit. But it's WAY more expensive than this solution, if you already have a PC (most do) & an audio interface pedal (or buy this low-cost Ghost Writer).
OTOH as you & Sean both point out, the sw approach seems to be much more limited in capability. You're best off playing one note at a time on a Roland synth box too, but it appears to be mandatory using a software solution. The Roland GR-33 & GR-55 both use a 13-pin GK pickup & cable: that's a lot of signal, one pickup for each string. The software alternative uses one cable from a standard mic or pickup: there's less signal to work with & signal for all strings being played will be unavoidably muddled.
I can imagine fooling around with this software approach for fun off-line, or in a studio, maybe. On a very limited basis. For gigging, the hardware approach would seem the only practical solution, despite the massive learning curve, fiddle-factor & poorly-designed software (Roland's idea of functional software is bizarre).
Lost me at monophonic. But thanks for the review.
That sounds like some serious latency, bummer.
ahh crap one note at a time!
No polyphony = expensive paper weight 😂
So, another failed midi guitar system.
monophonic guitar to midi has been around forever, try the sonuus. why is there no reissue for the CASIO DG-20 or a cheaper version of the Baby Z (havent tried jamstik) jammy’s second version sucks chode bc they were from ukraine and the artiphon only has 12 frets.
you are a disappointment oh and dont get me started on the rock whatever guitar thing… btw all the names for these products are absolute shit
