Can I trigger it with the audio signal input to my Tascam US-144 audio interface? I have the MIDI-Guitar-0 file in my Plug-ins folder. I couldn't open it as a VST in Cubase LE4 in my iMac OSX 10.6.8. So I tried moving just the MIDI Guitar.vst to my VST folder (that is within my Plug-ins folder). I couldn't open MIDI Guitar as an instrument or as an effect within Cubase LE4. Am I doing something wrong? Help please!

I am using the standalone with my external sound card and it works fine. It doesn't need to be in any particular folder to work. If you start the program and look at the options in the "Input device" you should see your Tascam usb driver (assuming it is plugged in that is). Select that, and it shold appear in the "Output device window as well. If you are using the vst version, then you need to put the .dll in your vst folder. Make sure you have the latest version.

Hi everyone I've just climbed aboard for the third round of beta testing (thanks for the opportunity Ole!).

Anyway, it was pretty simple to get MIDIGuitar up-and-running, but I need to fine-tune the settings to get the best possible response. I was just wondering if you more experienced testers would care to share any general setup advice to point us third-rounders in the right direction?

Thanks :D

This new version is working pretty well here,(ableton, win7) had a couple of times where notes went a bit haywire but it was pretty late when i was testing, i could have been a bit tired and sloppy with the playing.. Will jump into it again when i get a chance

This is definitely a great improvement on the guitar to midi solutions I've tried in the past. A midi file download similar to what jamstix uses would be a nice addition.

Thank you for replying! For me, with the Input Device (on standalone MIDI Guitar), I can choose Built-In Input or Built-In Microphone. I have no other choices. For me, the Output Device is Built-In Output, there are no other choices.

I'm not familiar with the Mac, but in windows you can select the sound sources in the control settings box. Maybe it's an internal settings problem. Have you tried using it as a vst in an analog track? That should work regardless.

Thank you for responding! As I stated earlier, I couldn't select Guitar MIDI as an effect or an instrument within Cubase LE4. As far as your statement about internal settings, I would think that there is a good chance you are correct about that. Perhaps it is in my System Preferences, I don't know, I looked around in there and didn't see anything you described. I need a 'Guitar MIDI for Dummies' guide to help me I think. Do you mean audio track? Everything is recorded digitally in Cubase.

I just tried an audio track, yet Guitar MIDI does not show up as a possible effect choice for that track.

Did you put MIDIGuitar .dll in your Steinberg VST plugins folder? If it's in your vst folder, it should show up as an available plugin in Cubase.

Thank you for replying! From this thread, I downloaded MIDI-Guitar-0.3.0-Mac.zip. Within that it contains MIDI Guitar.app, MIDI Guitar.component, and MIDI Guitar.vst files (along with some .txt files). Originally, I had all those here:

Macintosh HD>Library>Audio>Plug-Ins

Then I put the MIDI Guitar.vst here:

Macintosh HD>Library>Audio>Plug-Ins>VST

Then I tried putting MIDI Guitar.component here:

Macintosh HD>Library>Audio>Plug-Ins>Components

In all of the above cases, I couldn't open MIDI Guitar as an effect within a Cubase LE4 audio track.

I have yet to see the file:

MIDIGuitar.dll anywhere. Where do I get that? Is that in the Mac version? Or just the Windows version?

Did you try the scan for available instruments option in the audio output drop down list?
