Has anyone used Trilogy or Trilian with a guitar-to-MIDI converter?
It seems to be designed mostly for keyboard players to simulate the
various articulations you have with stringed instruments.  For controllers
that can actually do slides, hammer-ons, etc. does it still feel
relatively natural to the player?

I have guitar synths so I know they always feel a bit funny, 
I'm just curious if the keyboard controller bias gets in the way.

I would think hammer-ons & pull-offs would work well provided the
MIDI converter handles legato correctly.  Using "shift keys" to
get to glides and X-notes wouldn't work so well with a guitar controller
but I guess you could access those with a footswitch.
