Aloha guys,
I have always used Roland pitch to voltage convertors. GR50/GR33/GR55.
In order for me to ‘ride this bucking bronco’ (using this method) several things work for me.
1- Use MIDI ‘Mono Mode’
This basically turns your ax into six separate MIDI streams with six diff ‘bend rates’.
Record each on a separate MIDI channel and track in Cubase.
2-Use appropriate ‘bend rate’ settings.
Most keyboards/sound modules/synth plugs etc come with
bend rates set to ± 2. This is not good for MIDI guitar use.
Bend Rates need to be set to at least ± 12. (My GR 55 uses ± 24)
Thank you Warren Sirota.
3- I don’t want to hit this one too hard.
IMHO to really use MIDI guitar properly you have to be a ‘killer’ player.
There is no other way around this.
For simple lines or pads, OK not a lot of chops are needed.
But to really play this thang, clean MIDI ‘Note on’ and ‘Note off’ info is required.
Ironically players of the two styles of guit playing that work well with a MIDI guitar
(classical and jazz) have the least interest in sounding like other instruments. Ha!
4-Scoring.
Once the performance (and editing is done) I often merge
the six MIDI streams into one and scoring happens as normal.
I only score for live musicians/choirs etc so once the work
is printed (and unless changes are needed),
I usually never go back into that project in Cubase again.
Tip:
5-Really get to know the ‘List Editor’ and the ‘Logical Editor’.
These are your friends when it come to using MIDI guitar.
Example: I truly believe Steiny put the ‘Delete Short Notes’ preset
in Cubase just for MIDI guitarists. It is a Godsend when using MIDI guitar.
A lil story from another post:
_BTW here is a kool lil MIDI guitar trick.
Using Mono Mode, playing a nylon string guitar patch in Cubase with six different sound modules each routed to
one speaker in a 5.1 sound system.
If you sit in the middle of all the speakers and play, the perspective is like you are right in the sound hole
of the guitar.
Try that keyboardist!

Good Luck!
