MIDI Guitar vs Midimorphesus
I already have MIDI Guitar. Any reason I should I get Midimorphesus as well?
I play the guitar and like the idea of playing iOS apps like ThumbJam and Sunrizer using guitar input. MIDI Guitar is OK at this, not great, but good enough for grins.
It would be nice if I could compose using guitar, but honestly I wouldn't do it if it wasn't easier than just tapping away on Notion.
Thanks,

One big reason, pitch bend. If you want to do leads with expression, you really do need it, IMO.
Wow. Really misspelled this. It's MIDImorphosis.

For my playing style MIDI Guitar works the best out of all the ones I've tried (Midimorphosis, Jamsynth and Thumbjam). It can't do pitch bends, but it can do hammer-ons, which all of the others struggle with. It's far from perfect though, but useable.
I use midi guitar the most. But honestly midimorph and others are also good to have. For the sake of you never know which will pick up best. They will all get used eventually.
I notice all these midi apps pickup notes better based on how you have your electric guitar pickup(s) set. I use midi guitar through irig midi all the time. I like to control different software with guitars, theremin, violin, bass... Using different instruments to midi control instead of a keyboard just gives a different sound and feel to the final product. (For acoustic instruments just use a clip on tuner plugged into interface).
Thanks, Shawn , that helps
Obviously, I'm not the most impartial guy in the world on this -- but I try to be fair. MIDI Guitar tracks very well, and is a bit faster than MIDImorphosis. On the other hand, I think my app handles pitch bends better, and has fewer note glitches. All of the apps get crushed by hardware MIDI converters (Fishman TriplePlay FTW!).
I'm rebuilding the audio processing chain for my app -- I've figured out a couple of things to make it track a bit faster, and I'll have polyphonic pitch bend in the near future. The app has quite a bit of MIDI routing flexibility, and I'll be integrating the NTBYF SoundFont synth into the next release.
As long as you play clean, most of the apps are useful. For speed demon players, hardware may be the only acceptable solution. MIDI Guitar is a bit faster; my app captures more expression. I don't think there's any one-size-fits-all solution in the app world.
And while we're on the subject -- everyone should check out Jam Synth. The pitch detection has some glitchiness, but when running through the internal synthesizer, it gives the whole thing a lot of character. I have no relationship to the app or developer -- other than thinking it's an under appreciated gem.
@SecretBaseDesignSecretBaseDesign I'm really not a speed demon, but I do play with hammer-ons and slides, and unfortunately Midimorphosis seems to struggle a lot more than Midi Guitar when it comes to tracking those. I'm sure it depends on the playing technique to some extent, but generally I don't play fast.
@richardyot -- if you can email a WAV file of some of your playing ([email protected]), I'll add it to my test set. I can scan through a recording of the raw guitar input to see where and when my algorithms detect notes -- and that should help with getting the app tuned to handle more playing styles.
OK - I will send the email to you in the next 24 hours - thanks for looking into it
As you can see, one difference is that the Midimorphosis developer is a bit more responsive
Oh and by the way, a +1 from me for including the NTBYF synth!
I've tried some of the different guitar/pitch to MIDI converters...
The ones I know of are
Jam Origin-MIDI Guitar - $19.99
Secret Base Design-MIDIMorphosis - $7.99
Jam Synth - FREE - Works ok.
? Sonuus-Sonuus G2M - Universal Guitar to MIDI Converter - $9.99
? Yonac Inc. - SHREDDER - Synth for Guitar -$9.99
I downloaded the free version of Jam Origin's MIDI Guitar and dug it swell enough. Monophonic tracking is way better than polyphonic, and that's true for all audio to MIDI converters.
Based on Doug's recommendation, I bought MIDIMorphosis - Honestly, I found it to be way too laggy no matter how I reconfigured/EQ'd/compressed my guitar tone going into the ipad. I have already deleted it from my iPad. It's least expensive, but I found that it paled in comparison to MIDI Guitar. I get that it does string bends and MIDI Guitar does not, but that's not enough to make up for the difference in speed.
Has anyone tried either Shredder or Sonuus-Sonuus Universal Guitar to MIDI ? How would those compare to the above?
