Hello fellow Midi guitarists:
I am bit confused as the best route to go for MIDI guitar. I am using Ableton as my DAW ( for any non recording guitarists) a DAW is a Digital Audio Workstation similar to Protools.
I have a few choices but unfortunately a limited budget so I have to get this right the first time around.
These are basically my 4 choices: FYI....I have a used Custom 24 Semi Hollow body that should arrive today with a 14 day no question asked return policy. It's gorgeous and in mint condition plus price was right.
Here is a photo. http://www.ebay.com/itm/141594686339 Scroll down to bottom of page. She is lovely.
1.) There is a new pickup made by Fishman called the Tripleplay which is wireless MIDI controller that gets insane reviews for low latency and allows me to access all my soft synthys or any virtual instruments.
This video is made by an incredible musician I found on Youtube It's truly mindblowing and the music is incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGhqYsoIeBQ
Here is Fishman site http://www.fishman.com/tripleplay Forgot to add this page with over 20 tripleplay videos. http://www.fishman.com/tripleplay/videos
So first question is, if go this route should I mount pickup (Costs s $400) on my PRS guitar as it does not scratch guitar in any manner and can be easily removed.
There are also two guitars made with the Triple play built in. A strat and a Godin guitar. I played the Strat and didn't like it. The Godin guitar can be had for under $1000. The dilemma I am facing if I buy the Godin guitar, I may be picking it up more than the PRS because I am not a gigging musician at this time and more into home recording. Not sure which is better route to take.
2.) I can purchase a Godin guitar that is made to be played with the Roland GR-55 which would be an external synth instead of using the software inside Ableton. I could also mount a Hex pickup on PRS which does not damage the guitar in any manner.
Check out video of guitarist using this setup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_wGIbgQ0hE The Godin guitar is beautiful so if I went this route, the PRS would not get much use.
3.) I can buy www.jamorigin.com MIDI guitar for $99 that uses straight audio from standard pickups to trigger internal MIDI.
Check it out: http://jamorigin.com/ Listen to sounds http://jamorigin.com/portfolio-item/tom-quale/ http://jamorigin.com/portfolio-item/georgi-stanchev/ http://jamorigin.com/portfolio-item/chuck-dietz/
So those are my options. If you record MIDI guitar into a DAW, love to know if you added a pickup to your PRS or purchased a separate guitar.
Thanks
