Re: Sonuss G2M

Well, I get to test out the Sonuss G2M some time next week.
(I have this friend who can't order online).
It certainly looks very usable looking at Matt's demo.

I'll compare it with the Yamaha G50, which also has a mono input.
(as well as Hex)

Meanwhile, the G50 can sometimes be found 2nd hand and cheaper than the 
G2M.
It's rackmount, so lacks the G2M's weight/size/neat advantage,
but it's a good purchase for midi-toe-in-water, especially as a
hex p/u could be added later.

Here's one on UK ebay

Actually the Axon technology can get it a bit faster than that by looking
at the transient produced when the pick strikes the string. (G50 licenses 
Axon tech).
This allows a quick guess which is then adjusted by pitchbend info if 
needed.

I don't know if the G2M has something similar.
