Midi guitar 2 demo(cover pat metheny are you going with me?)

I use internal synth and fxs.
The lead part begins at 2:13 minutes.
Really interesting app!
Thanks!

Very nice, I enjoyed that a lot you have inspired me. If I have the time today I will record a little something myself. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for listening!
Great work, flo26! You managed to capture much of the emotion and intensity of the original.
Metheny, the midi guitar master.
Exceptional playing!
I've never used a guitar synth before but the sliding across the string always seemed to be an artifact that I grew tired of as a listener.
But MIDI Guitar 2 has a "Legato" option with various sustains added to a note from 5 msec to 1 second and on to infinite sustain. This feature seems to blurs the transitions between notes and make it sing more to my ears.
The bend options in combination with an MPE capable AU synth make a synth-y instrument that matches a guitars flexible approach to pitch.
I've never played a MIDI Guitar before so my take is based upon some things I
didn't like about the Metheny sound and what this app sounds like in my
hands. It can duplicate the Metheny Roland sounds (the internal synths are labeled with Roland and Yamaha Classic Synth letters like JX and DX but no
options to tweak the presets). So, buying the extra IAP to use any Instrument or
FX AU app opens the door for so many new sounds coming from the guitar player.
There's also an option to output "open tunings" without changing the guitars
E-A-D-G-B-E settings. Joni Mitchell used this in her later career to switch open tunings fast and not have a guitar tech bring out a new guitar for each song.
She used a Parker Fly which so she would hear the open tuning and not the
actual strings pitches. This could be a handy tool for a lot of players using
tapping techniques that work so well with open strings in unique tunings.
There are 11 presets for tunings to save time for the top tunings (Drop D, Open G, etc). But each string has options to raise or lower the pitch output.
You can play for free in demo mode and get full use with a few IAP's.
$20 to unlock MIDI OUT. $10 for Guitar Rig (FX in the App) and $10 for the Hosting of AU's to keep everything in the Apps GUI versus sending MIDI out to AUM/AB/Cubasis, etc. So, $40 unwraps the whole suite of capability.
And it's a universal App so I can velcro my iPhone to the Guitar. Using
the iRig HD into the CCK and some headphones I get a really portable
practice rig for taking walks. Adding a USB battery pack helps with more velcro.
There's still CPU for Backing Tracks or iReal Pro. The GUI adapts a bit for the smaller screen. Some of the knobs are a bit tricky to tweak. I haven't looked into
presets yet. It might be good to run this one in AUM and have a few set-ups good to go. I like to create the AUM Projects on the iPad and move them to the iPhone.
Thanks a lot!

About this... have you done this “stroll in the park with an iOS recording rig” idea?
It’s been in my brain for years, just as a possibility but I never had a small enough audio interface to make it practical.
Also, Nice demo @flo26
Thanks!
@flo26 THis is the best I've heard this app sound, truly. I messed with it a bit myself, and it is honestly an impressive app, but I realized that I don't want to play synth on guitar - I like playing guitar on guitar and I can do what I want on a synth with keys, so I wasn't keen on it but I can see the potential.
I'd love to hear you split the signal to hear both your usual hi-gain tone (which I like very much) and the synth together. I could see that being very sonically interesting. That or maybe a synth guitar line being harmonized with a standard guitar...
Like I said - lots of potential here. Nice to hear the tool in the hands of someone who can wield it. Sounds like Luke is like your Mjolnir!

Yes. I have used in on a Tele' with velcro and the original iRig device in the headphone jack which opens the Lightning port for a battery to be added for longer sessions. The original iRig has a headphone out port and it's really light. An iRig HD works into the Lightning port and is better audio quality with it's own A-to-D and you use the headphone jack to listen.
That was an iPhone 5S. They can be found for reasonable prices.
I recently picked up an acoustic that has a Fishman pickup that offers an optional micro-USB audio out so a small micro-USB to to CCK adapter work as well for acoustic practice. This also leaves a lightning port open for battery.
It turned to be a $15 Fishman OEM product so there are some issues with balance across all 6 strings. The bass end is too quiet and without
much sparkle. It's a nylon acoustic so that's a big part of the problem. Using the
iRig and analogy from the pickup helps but I won't velcro on that guitar body so I'll have to hack a guitar strap rig to hold the extra parts securely and make the iPhone reachable.
I hope this gives you a few ideas. It's pretty awesome to stroll about and practice. Bluetooth latency prevents using BT headphones which is too bad.
Thanks dave!
I will try to mix both synth guitar and my « usual hi gain sound »It may be interesting.
@flo26 Sounds Great! A Pat Metheny song is VERY appropriate for a demo of this app. That's some really good playing through some nice changes. The vibe of the song also comes through loud + clear. Well done Sir!
Pat Metheny is definitely one of my favorite musicians. His sense of melody is breathtaking.. Someone, somewhere once said - "I suspect Pat is melodic even when he takes out the trash." - or something to that effect.
Thanks a lot for your kind words!
Pat metheny is such an inspiration!This guy is so much more than a guitarist!He’s a MUSICIAN!
