. The MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA) has adopted both MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) and MIDI Capability Inquiry (MIDI-CI) into the official MIDI specification. This makes it the most exciting thing to happen to the vital MIDI communication protocol in about 30 years. MPE We’re pretty familiar with MPE now. It used to be called Multidimensional Polyphony Expression, but has now been smartened up as MIDI Polyphonic Expression, which makes a lot more sense. This the functionality found in ROLI Seaboard controllers and the Linnstrument amongst other emerging devices.
They give you the power to apply expressional controller data to individual notes being played together, where previously they would be applied globally. Consider pitch bend or moving the mod wheel – it affects all notes being played, whereas MPE treats each note independently. The controllers tend to be velocity, pitch, aftertouch, slide (forwards/backwards) which is mappable and lift, or the release of a note. MPE works by assigning each note its own MIDI channel – this is what makes it compatible with existing MIDI systems. It still requires both the software or hardware MIDI device and the controllers to support the protocol for it to work properly, and support within the DAW to enable comprehensive editing.
But this adoption means that this support will hopefully be more forthcoming. MIDI-CI In many ways, Capability Inquiry is more interesting and revolutionary. I on it after it was presented at the Audio Developer’s Conference last year. MIDI-CI sets MIDI on a path of evolution. It allows devices to find out things about each other in order to improve compatibility, communication and ease of use. There are three areas brought into being by MIDI-CI:.
Profile Configuration – this is a set of rules that different types of synth and instrument abide by in how they respond to MIDI messages. So string instruments will have the same controls mapped to the same controllers regardless of the maker of the instrument.
So if your controller is set up to control an organ, it will be the same for any organ you load without you having to remap anything. Property Exchange – enables the total recall of the data within software and hardware synthesizers and instruments. This includes patch names, controller mapping, parameters etc. Protocol Negotiation – defines the way two devices communicate and ensure that if they are not able to communicate via the new protocol they will drop back to using basic MIDI 1.0 without a hitch.
MIDI Guitar is rocket science only inside. Its nicely wrapped and easily accessible. Download the free trial application.
Run it and press “help” – an interactive setup tutorial will show up. Read and follow the instructions. Have fun with the built in presets, then start to make your own.
In case you never connected a guitar to a computer or iPad, you need to visit your local music store and ask for a “audio/guitar interface” – that’s the “cable” (more precisely it’s a small pre-amp in a box that sits between your guitar jack and computer/iPad). The interface gets the sound from your guitar and into the computer, and back out to speakers/headphones. Get one with an input level control knob. Mac users: MacOS X 10.7 (OSX 10.6 will be support coming as well) Any Dual core intel based Mac. (just about any Mac produced after 2006) Guitar/Audio interface Windows users: Any non-ancient version of Windows (ie. Windows XP or later). A dual core processor, i3.i5,i7, m3,m5 or m7.
Older netbooks will struggle. Guitar/Audio interface with an ASIO driver iOS users: iPhone 5 or later (iPhone SE is great as well), or iPad Air 1 or later iPod 6 gen. Guitar/Audio interface Apple made quite a leap in terms of processing power since the first iPhone/iPads.
Please see how your device compares. Everything above the iPhone 5 mark is good. Follow these steps: 1. Download your license file from the order confirmation email. (Note, the link is not a webpage – depending on email client it might open a blank page. But there is a file there.
With some email clients you should right click the link and “Save As.” or “Save Target As” and the license file will download to your computer). Save this file somewhere safe, for example to your Documents folder. The name of the license file is something like “your name.license”.
You only need to save the license file. You can not (and should not) open it. Open MIDI Guitar/MIDI Bass and when the interruption dialog appear (that happens every two minutes when you use MG, unless you play the Test Piano) click on the “Apply License” button.
A file dialog will pop up. Now navigate to the file directory where you saved the license file and select the license file. MIDI Guitar is a revolutionary piece of software that converts your guitars analog audio signal into a digital MIDI signal. This makes it possible to use your standard guitar exactly as you would use a MIDI keyboard or MIDI controller. Thus, you can now:.
p lay your favorite software synthesizers/samplers with your guitar, rather than a keyboard. record guitar notation directly in recording software (digital audio workstations). get an awesome guitar tone: MIDI can control real guitar effects as well: compressors EQs, amps, etc There are a few such effects inside MIDI Guitar and they are really in a territory of their own when it comes to guitar effects.
MIDI Guitar is the worlds first low latency, polyphonic software solution, allowing you to play both chords and single notes with instant audio feedback. Traditionally guitarists have had to seek out expensive and inconvenient hardware to be able to use a guitar as a MIDI controller. MIDI Guitar removes the need for any kind of specialized hardware beside a standard guitar interface to connect your guitar to your computer. Just connect your guitar and let MIDI Guitar do the rest. MIDI Guitar comes in a few variants: as standalone Windows/Mac standalone applications that can host VST/AudioUnit instruments and effects or as VST/AudioUnit plugins that can be hosted inside your favorite Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software. There is also an app for iOS.
The best way is to. Just run the MIDI Guitar application and click “help” – an interactive tutorial will pop up.
