MIDI Guitar 0.8 beta released!

WHAT'S NEW:

Audio Recognition:

General tracking improvements.
Improved tracking of minor seconds.
Improved latency at non-44.1Khz samplerates. All samplerates should now perform identically.

General:

Our new MIDI Machine is now embedded in MIDI Guitar. It allows you to easily create arpeggiators, harmonizers, chord filters, or indeed any imaginable midi effect.

Added project management to make it easier to switch between sound setups. The project stores all parameters including VST instrument and -effect states as well as the MIDI Machine setup.

MIDI Learn functionality.
MIDI Program Change can switch projects at the press of a button.
Added VST/AudioUnit parameters for VST automation.
Basic velocity curve setting.
Settings are now only saved on shutdown.

Bugfixes:

Fixed issues with plugin scanner when used in plugin.
Fixed save of MIDI enable/disable in plugin.
Fixed bug where Test Piano would load after being disabled.
Fixed concurrency issues with multiple instances of MIDI Guitar running.
Fixed issues with disrupted VST plugins preventing MIDI Guitar from launching.
Many other bugfixes.

Thanks for the update! I've noticed, when using the standalone version, in OSX Mountain Lion, when Instrument Output is selected to None, Midi is passed onto my DAW (Reaper64). When any plugin is selected at Instrument Output, Midi is sent to that instrument and the new Midi Machine option. It's nice to have this feature (ie. arpeggiator, etc.), and it is passing the MIDI information along the chain!

We have silently updated to 0.8.1 with some fixes. The link is above.

jas, yes, it should process all midi, whether its comming from the recognition system, from the host, external midi devices or the note buttons inside MG, all is chained though the MIDI Machine stack and passed in instruments

This way hardware MIDI guitar systems or even keyboard players can also use the MIDI Machine.

I'm out of town right now for two weeks so I'm unable to test the new versions of MG. I can't wait to get to my studio to do so. However I downloaded both new version into my laptop and am tweeking the new features. i have a few vst plugins in my laptop but no guitar here.

Thanks Ariajazz! Its certainly a bit quiet around here. Guess its time for holidays.

0.8.2 was just uploaded with very minor fixes. Link is above.

That was quick

Just out of interest, what is supposed to be saved in the Project file?

JamOrigin · Post by **JamOrigin** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 2:41 pm

sheldrakes, the projects should save everything below the project line, ie. state of all settings, VST instrument and -effect and MIDI Machines. Thus, the idea is that you can switch between entire setups with a single program change.

Cool, I just tried it and it works fine.

Looking forward to a bass guitar mode.

the MIDI Machine is AMAZING! any chance it can be in the vst version? it's in the stand alone. I WANT THE TUN FILE COMPATIBILITY!!

I have used Beta 0.7 in past - worked great, but now v.82 will not work for me?? It hears my guitar input (turner and wave registers based on the audio sound input) but no conversion to midi (no piano sound output)?? Is there a trick??

It would make more sense to have "Scala" files instead of "Tun" files..

Worked it out - somewhat. In standalone mode my guitar sound is being played right over the piano sound and overwhelming it so you can't hear the piano well. It can be adjusted a bit but no fun... As a VST in Reaper it behaves better. But with the new inclusion of the VST manager can we no longer use other synths which are loaded into Reaper??

can't you turn off direct monitoring with you audio interface?

Some definite improvements for guitar-like strumming.

Sometimes it reads too easily: barely grazing the open E through D strings with the fretting hand will trigger.

Also the velocity is a little stiff with default settings, but changing the instrument gain or midi velocity reduces overall volume, and doesn't gain much articulation.

Certainly better, though still some ways to go.
