Right. It's a MIDI controller. We've put sound cards onboard, if that helps. It's naturally possible to loop the audio output from the synth. Also, we've built some MIDI looping features into another similar device we make for the Kurzweil company, the EventStation percussion controller. It can capture MIDI events, loop them, build one them, change tempo, stuff like that. That software isn't in our guitar controllers yet, though. :( > >Can you automatically select the lowest *played* string and put a >bass note only on that, as Polysubbass does? > Never thought of that! It wouldn't be hard to add a routine to do that in MIDI. Interesting idea. If you add your bass note in the audio, do you have any control over the timbre or voice-selection? thanks, harveyS >> >>At 04:50 PM 11/3/00 -0300, you wrote: >>>>My guitar is already "polyphonic" - what does the system you speak of >>>>actually do? >>>> >>> >>>have a look at http://Matthias.Grob.org/pParad/Parad.htm >>>and http://Matthias.Grob.org/pEE/Invent.htm >>>-- >>> >>> >>> ---> http://Matthias.Grob.org >>> >>> >>> >>http://www.starrlabs.com > >-- > > > ---> http://Matthias.Grob.org > > > http://www.starrlabs.com
