Re: beginner guitar synth questions
Hey there,
No, there are actually quite a few different pickups and systems out
there... The pickup is a portion of how accurate the tracking of what you
are playing relative to the synth playing the same notes generated by the
controller. The conversion brain is going to be the second half equation,
and you'll possibly want to either go with an all in one system or go Axon
for faster tracking... Not sure if you're going to be using an electric
guitar or an electric bass guitar, but either way, the best conversion
brains are going to be (in order of better accuracy)
Axon AX-100 (or AX-100SB)
Yamaha G50
Roland GR-33
Roland GR-30
Shadow SH-075
For pickups, I recommend going with RMC's, however they are a bit pricy
and aren't the easiest thing to install... If you go with a HEX system,
such as the Roland GK-2a, or Axon/Yamaha equivalent, you'll find that the
tracking is not as accurate and that the number of incorrect notes,
warbles, and just silence is going to increase. However, you'll also be
able to get a good idea of just what a synth guitar can do, plus they're
far easier to install, and don't require as specific an instrument.
Lastly, it looks as though all you're really wanting is a controller,...
may want to check out a Ztar by Starr Labs, you'll find that they're the
fastest thing around, however, you do loose the sound of a guitar (they're
really keyboards in guitar's clothing).
For all-in-one systems, you may want to check out a Parker MIDIFly or
BMCGuitar MIDIGuitar.
Hope this helps!
L8r on,
Lee-ohki.
