![]() You then plug the wireless USB receiver into a MIDI-compatible device and boom. It concerts your guitar playing to a MIDI signal. The Fishman TriplePlay Wireless MIDI Controller looks very similar to the Roland GK-3, but it is more like a wireless and superior Sonuus G2M. Here are the two bits of Roland kit you need to do what Alex Hutchings did in the video … plus a third, cheaper option that will achieve the same thing (and includes the GK-3 pickup) The Roland GK-3 and GR-55 combined are NOT cheap. All the sounds you hear depend on the processor. The MIDI pickup sends the string vibration information to the processor, which then converts each string into a pitch and uses the synth you set on the pedal. This processor is the brains of the MIDI system. The GR-55 looks like a typical guitar multi-effects pedal, but it is more than that. ![]() The GK-3 needs to be paired with a processor such as the Roland GR-55. This does mean you need to purchase TWO pieces of equipment. The decoder will then convert that information into MIDI. The MIDI pickup works by capturing each individual string’s vibration and sends that information separately to a decoder. The GK-3 is an external pickup you mount onto your guitar and is completely separate from your guitar’s normal pickups. So the most common, but frankly massively more expensive, MIDI-Guitar method is to purchase a Roland GK-3 MIDI Guitar Pickup. That costs a lot more! (Though obviously, if you are using the i2M as an interface to record the sound of guitar then it will record everything you hear….) Try Reaper (has a long free trial and then very inexpensive), or Fl Studio if you want to splash out, or you could try Audacity for FREE audio recording (but not MIDI).īeware – the Sonuus i2M and the G2M are both incredible piece sof kit for the money but they are MONOPHONIC devices. Or, if you want to use it directly as a hardware controller.Īll you will need after that is some music making software. ![]() Currently the i2M is one of the cheapest and most exciting accessories you could buy for your guitar, or the MIDI only option of the G2M is even cheaper is you don’t want the recording capability. The i2M will work just the same … with the added benefit of audio recording capability too. ![]() The video below shows a guitarist turning his guitar into a synth using the Sonuus G2M. ![]()
