You can, of course, also use the plug-in to process any previously recorded clean guitar parts into MIDI, though any recorded reverb, delay, modulation or distortion is likely to compromise the translation process. As long as that instrument track is selected, it will receive MIDI from the MIDI Guitar plug-in. The MIDI Guitar plug-in can itself host instrument plug-ins to provide a real-time synth output, as can the stand-alone version, but if you want to record editable MIDI, it is usually best to set up a separate DAW track for the virtual instrument you wish to control. You can come up with some unique tonal combinations by mixing the processed guitar sound and a synth sound. The plug-in version opens in an audio track insert point, so the audio input feeds both a chain of amp/speaker and effects modelling and the MIDI conversion engine, allowing you to play one of MIDI Guitar’s onboard synths or any other plug-in instrument you have on your system. Since MIDI generated by the plug-in is automatically routed to Logic’s active instrument track, you can use it to play Logic’s own plug-ins as well as any third-party instruments that appear in your plug-in folder. Jam Origin say the plug-in version is preferable for minimum latency as the stand-alone version can add 3 to 6 ms of latency. In Logic Pro, which I use for nearly everything, both the stand-alone version and the plug-in version worked perfectly, generating MIDI data that you can edit in the Piano Roll in the usual way. MIDI Guitar is available in VST and AU plug-in formats, but there is not yet an AAX version.Īn online guide to using MIDI Guitar 2 with many of the popular DAWs is available from the Jam Origin web site.

For DAW users, I really would recommend this full package, but note that an earlier version of MIDI Guitar 2, seemingly aimed at GarageBand users, is still available on iTunes and saves you a little on cost if you don’t need MIDI Bass or the plug-in version. One big difference from the original, however, is that MIDI Guitar 2 now comes in a plug-in version of its own, offering the best of both worlds whether you are recording or playing live. The latest version is bundled with MIDI Bass, which is similar in concept but monophonic, and can also host third-party AU or VST plug-ins.
Version 2.2.1 is available directly from the Jam Origin web site, and can be authorised to multiple machines. According to the designer, it uses deep-learning/AI technologies employed in speech recognition and other ‘learning’ applications, rather than traditional DSP techniques, and he feels that we are just on the verge of seeing what this technology can do in the pro-audio field. Systems that can handle monophonic conversion are old news, but MIDI Guitar really can separate out the notes from chords and rapid arpeggios at lightning speed. This it does so reliably and quickly that I now use it in preference to any of my hex pickup MIDI guitar systems.

Now available for Mac and Windows, version 2.2.1 offers even more functionality, but at its heart is still the seemingly impossible trick of turning the output from a standard guitar pickup into polyphonic MIDI. The original MIDI Guitar ran as a stand-alone program, intercepting audio from a designated input on an audio interface and then converting it to MIDI to be passed on to the MIDI input of the DAW.

And, as a guitar player who is totally rubbish at keyboards, I have to say that it is one of the most impressive pieces of software that I have ever used. The original version of Jam Origin’s MIDI Guitar software gained a glowing review from Bob Thomas in SOS May 2014 ( So much so that, on seeing that v2 had been launched, I went straight to the Apple Store and bought - yes, you read that right! - a copy for myself. The stand-alone version of MIDI Guitar 2 includes an enhanced range of bundled instrument plug-ins, as well as a selection of MIDI Machines.Īre the days of hex pickups numbered? Now available as a Mac/Win plug-in or stand-alone, Jam Origin’s guitar-to-MIDI utility is fast, versatile and affordable.
