MIDI Guitar Reviews

Needs more development. I used it with Animoog iphone 4 ios 6.1. Worked sometimes but super glitchy. I write the review because I really want to see this app work. Very cool idea! Update: I tried the desktop version and was very excited as to how well it worked so I bought the license and it wasn't working for my 10.5 os. The development team quickly came up with a solution and fix for my problem and now it works perfect! Very excited to have this as a part of my music software. The development team is excellent and very helpful and are working for a fix for the ios midi guitar app. As soon as the app works for my iphone I will give another update.

Worth $3, not $20

Ericlmercer

I don't get this pricing for a half-baked app with potential. $5 would be more than fair (worth more like $3) & would generate more income, distribution & helpful customer feedback to the developers. The complaints concern the fact that it's useless in its current state, so why continue the premium pricing which is the real source of the negative feedback & low sales? I'd wait until the price drops, as these guys might eventually wake up to reality. My one star reflects my dissatisfaction with the obscenely bloated price vs the real-world latency problems still existing in order that this app do anything more than show potential. It's probably a 3-star & I'd have given it 4 were it offered at a reasonable price just for encouragement -- but they don't seem to care much about disappointing & gouging their buyers during its development stages so here's one response from a would've been guinea-pig simply saying no-thank-you to getting porked. I want to see this app succeed like everyone else, lower the price -- at least until it can actually be used to create music...

No Roland!!

Morbid Man

This does point to a cool future but this tracks at least half as slow and not nearly as accurate as the GR Roland series. Some have claimed it is as fast, it IS NOT!! I've used and sold those for years, still do, and know them well. This does not work in the same league. This has a place in music if you know which carpet to pull up. It's cool on voice triggering other synths etc..,even it's poor trigger response can be a cool tool. I WAS using it on a 4th gen iPod and better rigs will track slightly better, but still no match for the Roland which cost a million percents more! Try it and see. It's fun Over all, make it better, keep up the good work.

Good app.

Super ate

I found that this app was glitchy when using my electric but worked much better while using a semi acoustic guitar. Very slight, just noticeable latency, hope this is fixed in a subsequent update.

cmon dude

Mordini

man 20 is way too high! have a sale or something, it's not like it's doing legato pitch bends. that said i'm gonna be forced to pay for the only one of it's kind, overpriced, aren't i? ;p 5 stars for omg so awesome (detection is fine if you're in tune haha)

Fun alternative to synths

I played Roland's. it is pricey for an app but if you're considering synths this is a fun start. Definitely some limitations. Some sounds track ok and pads work well. I tried it with amp kit through GB and Music studio. The sounds were about the keyboard sound. There is enough tracking to get a sense of the blast and the limits of expensive alternatives. Now with iPad I can plug in and record thru amps, efx and synths with just a guitar. I would not try to rely on this for serious midi or live use. It's fun it can record and it may be an alternative when the technology advances.

Not bad

I'm a novice but found Midi Guitar to work relatively well. I've been using it with Thumb Jam and I'm able get my electric guitar to imitate many various instruments. I think part of my success is that I'm keeping all components local on my iOS mobil device (e.g. no wifi, etc.) On the downside, there is some latency. For best results, I don't use Midi Guitar on fast songs and then on nothing faster than eighth notes. Overall satisfied and would recommend to others as long as you work with the limitations.

Much better now

musiquenthusiast

I had previously complained about latency issues. But the new engine has made it close to the speed of the MacOSX Version. Good job. The only thing to improve on is MIDI over WIFI. It's buggy and slow. I recommend using MIDI cables for the time being. It might cost a bit of money but they make this app worthy of using and a productive music tool. Another thing that I know would be awesome but nearly impossible is the ability to send signals thru multi MIDI channels; one for each string of the guitar. This would make tabbing songs easy as playing the guitar.

VooDoo inside - 2.0 Update ROCKS!!!!

Grey Fortress

Wow, this thing is magical. As stated by another reviewer, works comparably to a (much more costly) Roland midi guitar setup. Note recognition is simply impressive. Only issue is latency which I expect the developer will improve with time. Very useable with the right synth patches.. soft or slow attacks. Hard, fast attack patches will only work/feel right at slower tempos. But whatever, its amazing for a measly five bucks. Please buy and support its development. The technology under the hood is groundbreaking!!!! -The 2.0 Update is Awesome!! Latency so low you can play drum patches. Would like to see more control options like in the desktop version, but it works REALLY REALLY good just the way it is. Absolutely the most exciting app I own. Easily worth 100x more!!
