Well, you plug your guitar into this plugin, then plug that into a MIDI synth plugin. This thing outputs MIDI data from your guitar's output.

For best results, you'll want a fat, dull tone, like with the neck pickup and the tone rolled off. You might want to put a compressor or a maximizer or volume boostage before it too.

I guess thats where I'm stuck. How do you actually "plug" the guitar into the plugin? Is there routing that I maybe missed on the interface?

My guitar's actually plugged into a computer right now, so I'll see.

Ok, you just load it basically, then load a synth after it.

How this all works depends on your vst host program. I use Reaper, and I set the input to one audio input of my M-Audio soundcard, as opposed to the midi input. Then I press the fx button, go to vst section, and select junction.

Oh I see. I use Sonar, so there's a way to do it, im sure, but probally in a different way. I suppose i'll keep at it and see if i can figure it out

Nah, no luck here. There must be something different setup wise in Sonar. Its just not making any sense as far as the setup goes. I drop it in the FX bin of an audio track and it actually mutes the track. Then I tried dropping a synth vst after it and still no sound. I think this plugin may not be useful to me. I was looking for a way to actually output MIDI notes. So that I can re-arrange or edit for notation.

Anybody else? Take a stab at this?

It's supposed to mute the sound, and it outputs midi.

So you just need to figure out how within Sonar to take the midi output of this fx plugin and route that to a synth.

I'd look for a registered Sonar forum, there probably is one.

Hello audiodob

Not sure how to insert into Sonar I own v2 but have not updated or installed for years. You might want to try using a VST chainer like Ext as the VST insert and then load Junction and a VSTi into the chainer?

Hope it helps?

cant belive I missed a FS plugin!

It works flawlessly! Great job !

Any chance we can get a polyphonic version or is there something I'm missing?

cool glad to hear it is tracking well there

For a poly version there needs to be a hex pickup involved to track eack string seperate. But yeh its not impossable and would reduce latency and also fix the tracking of low notes. Have to get a (what is it called) GK-2 (I think) pickup to find out what it outputs? Still not that far YET

Peace

downloading now... a big thank you!

Hi FS,
Yeah that's pretty much how you do it in Sonar too. only problem is i am not seeing it's output any where. oh well, probally a sonar issue

You should really look for a registered user Sonar forum instead of giving up every 5 seconds.

Got the latency about cut in half,
give me a few days to test and I'll put an update on the site.
