Should have made it clear I wasn't disputing that. Just overall faster than if it had to wait for a couple of cycles. I'm pretty certain it's always going to be quicker to identify a higher pitched note whatever method is used. It's also quicker to guess the pitch if you already know the range, so a hex p/u is always going to be faster. > > My biggest issue with all pitch to midi converts (hex and mono) is > that they're all nice when you're clean picking, but try to do some > subtle stuff like a hammer-on ghost note and watch the yodeling > begin.

Me too :-) tho' I didn't get on with any of the synth modellers I've actually tried (Line6 + Behringer). > > Can you really get a G50 sub $100 these days? Wow. What was deluxe... I got mine for 70 GBP a while back, and I saw one going for that a couple of years ago. The ebay one is 50 GBP starting price with 3 days to go. andy > On Sat, May 16, 2009 at 6:42 AM, andy butler <akbutler@tiscali.co.uk> >wrote: >> >> Here's one on UK ebay >> >> >http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Yamaha-G50-Guitar-Midi-Converter_W0QQitemZ230342858477QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090514?IMSfp=TL090514135001r21098 >> >> Mark Sottilaro wrote: >>> That makes sense as you need at least a couple of wave cycles to >>> figure out a pitch.
