OT: was $280 Midi Guitar (andy's trick) + is Stringport better then AX50

[Christopher Darrow <thedarrow@gmail.com>]

Hi all. Very interesting. 2 questions for the collective:

1) Regarding Andy's Trick

> The midi converter has to be set to send Midi pitch bend
> (which can be switched off),
> and then the amount of midi pitch bend has to be matched between the
> midi converter and the synth that's being driven.

Anyone know how to find this setting in the the AX50 software?


2) Is Stringport really better then the AX50? Does it track better even 
with regular midi plugins rather then their software? Is it more processor 
intensive then the AX50, such that a laptop would start exhibiting bad 
behavior with a bunch of plugins and effects open in Live, etc.? Could 
really use a user report if anybody has experience with these. Or if not 
both, then your review of the Stringport.


Much thanks!
