You should check out the Jam Origin MIDI Guitar. It's still in beta but shows amazing promise and value. I used to have a GI-20 and VG-99. In terms of overall simplicity AND tracking speed, it's surprising how solid it does the job. I was holding out for the Fishman Triple Play... not anymore
MIDI Guitar
The Axon unit is long out of production, and while superior tracking is amongst its many features, the preset patches on that unit, at least in my opinion, sounded terrible.If you mean a guitar-to-midi converter (with no internal synth sounds) the Axon AX100 MKII is one of the fastest and most accurate.
ps for newbies: you will have to redefine your playing technique in order to play midi guitar with accuracy
I have received GR from someone but i don't know how to play it. That is still into a trunk. I am trying to learn about it.
What are the opinions here about the Roland GR-55? I have read it tracks better than most other guitar synths (?). But the sound I have heard on youtube sound a bit artificial and too neat for my taste. Also it has amp models and guitar Fx which of course us Axe users don't need. They probably sound not even close to the Axe fx.
3 words....
Fishman Triple Play.
A non intrusive midi pickup that works wirelessly to a USB dongle that triggers synths/samples/whatever you like.
I've got one of these...works pretty well and beats the heck out of my Axon MKII 100, or just about anything else!
