New in MIDI Guitar 2.0 Beta 1 (Apr 29, 2015)

  • MAJOR TRACKING IMPROVEMENTS:
  • It has been almost 2 years now – of hard work on version 2 (making it 7 years in total). And oh dear, it has been a long and windy road. At times we even considered a full stop and spend our time solving less daunting problems instead.
  • The manifesto was meant to set the overall direction, but it has made an impact, and each point above corresponds to tracking improvements you will find in MIDI Guitar 2, albeit less bold:
  • It is much more sensitive than version 1, and even in the fastest legato runs it is unlikely to ever miss a note.
  • There are no longer any tracking setup options. It just works.
  • The velocity response is much greatly improved and it does indeed seem to translate into an improved feel.
  • Tracking is more robust across various kind of guitars and playing styles. Indeed the same technology will be soon powering software for other instruments (bass and violin are first in line).
  • Latency was reduced, especially for the monophonic setting and generally on hollow body and half-acoustic guitars.
  • There are currently a few caveats to the above:
  • First, the high sensitivity means that it picks up everything. It might be a problem for some players, especially when driving not-so-velocity-sensitive synths. We found that sloppy guitar players usually like the higher sensitivity as notes will be picked up even with sloppy articulations, but they will have to be careful to not trigger a wrong note. We will make some adjustments in the next BETAs based upon user feedback so please let us know how you feel.
  • Related to this, the monophonic tracking is faster than ever, but it might be a little too wild at the moment, and we expect it to have an update for that within a couple of weeks.
  • Finally, there is actually one setup option. It’s a noise gate but it is easy to deal with as it only has effect when you are not playing. It is the only means you have to interact with the tracking system. One thing to keep in mind is that for fast legato runs you might need to turn down this noise gate (to pick up very soft notes).
