Guitar 2 Midi Converter, It Works Pretty Well! Options

[David Wallimann]

A little while back, Sonuus sent me their new G2M product to demo and it actually works pretty well!
Basically the G2M is a little box battery operated that transforms your guitar signal into a midi signal without the need of special pickups.

First I had some trouble with it as there was quite some latency, but after a while I got used to it and thought it worked pretty well!

There are several things to keep in mind to have a good experience with it:

-This is monophonic, play more than one note at the same time and the device will pick one of these notes...
-The G2M doesn't work very well with USB midi devices. That is why I had some trouble at first since I have a USB soundcard.
-Turn the tone knob of your guitar down, it will help the G2M recognize your notes better as there will be less harmonics.
-I had much better experience wit a guitar with a higher auction where the strings were a little higher than in my Parker where my strings are very close to the strings.
-The G2M works well for slower themes, but tends to freak out when you play faster, that is because you need an extremely clean technique.

I'll make a more detailed test, but here is just a little video of me messing around with the unit.
