Axon midi converter
I own the Axon AX100. It is very responsive (well, at least to a
turtle-speed picker
like myself!!). It also tracks note and pitchbend very well. It *does*
require a
fair amount of fiddlin' to get it setup, but once you have it tweaked
properly, it
works like a charm. The feature set on it is incredible. You can assign
individual
strings to different channels, set up 3 (I think?) different zones on the
neck. It
has a built in arpeggiator, hold function, etc, etc. I haven't even
scratched the
surface with mine! They are rather pricey, but I think it's a case of
getting what
you pay for. The Axon pickup, on the other hand is cheap junk (the Axon
converters
require a hexaphonic pickup with 13-pin connector). I have a Roland
replacement
that's supposed to arrive tomorrow; hopefully a better piece of gear.

I have HEARD that the Axon system is great. J. McLaughlin uses it and
he
plays very fast at times to say the least- it also seems to have some
kick
ass features like setting up different midi zones on the same string!
Supposed to use "neural network" hardware or something like that-
