RE: OT: MIDI guitar (a looping source!)
I agree with your sentiments about the expressive capabilities, but
keyboardist seem to find a way to be expressive. I like using my MIDI
guitar for interesting alternative effects I particularly like using the
split string effects for an interesting self accompaniment (Piano upper
four, acoustic Bass lower two strings) it works very well with chord
melody tecniques. I suppose it really just takes a bit of a readjustment
in your thinking to make it a means of expressive artistry. I still want
my electric Violin to have a workable MIDI configuration, has anybody
disassembled a GK-2x I was thinking about trying to adapt one for use on
the E Violin.

They're really not as expressive as a guitar. A lot of your technique
goes out the window. I found the key is to use some sort of performance
orientated effect, even as simple as a volume pedal, to add expression
to your MIDI guitar playing.
