Re: Kitara MIDI guitar

[Dennis Moser <sinsofmachaut@gmail.com>]

I also have a Sonuus GM2 that use for all manner of audio-to-MIDI
input; right now it's my testbed tool for using with several bidules
I'm experimenting with. It is, indeed, an easy way to ease into
Guitar-MIDI …

The Godin/Roland combo is still my setup of choice, however, since it
doesn't require the same level of tweakage that the Sonuss does.

Best,

Dennis
