Hi Chris, My understanding of the stringport is that it takes the hex output of a guitar and the software itself calculates midi info for running midi plugins. At the same time it uses the same raw info to run its specific suite of audio goodies. KMI are pretty specific re. the power of the, (Currently) Macintosh that is required to work all this out. I'm not sure how much overhead is available for other applications such as Ableton Live. My guess is that you'd need to spec up from the basic recommendations to allow for the extra strain on the CPU for other apps. but I'm only guessing ;-) Peace G > Subject: OT: was $280 Midi Guitar (andy's trick) + is Stringport better then AX50 > From: thedarrow@gmail.com > Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2010 04:29:23 -0800 > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > > > Hi all.

Does it track better even with regular midi plugins rather then their software? Is it more processor intensive then the AX50, such that a laptop would start exhibiting bad behavior with a bunch of plugins and effects open in Live, etc.? Could really use a user report if anybody has experience with these. Or if not both, then your review of the Stringport. > > > Much thanks! > |
