I'm not surprised. My spidy-sense tingled when I watched those demos. A little voice told me, "cheap toy! BEWARE!" Then again, it's priced like a cheap toy. Does anyone think that companies like Roland, Eigenlabs and Starr are just gouging customers? No, it's hard to make a precision instrument of any kind. They don't roll off a factory line ready to be sold for less than $200.
I can say this with certainty...if it turns out that a neck has been constructed which not only frets metal stringed notes, but also reads them directly into a midi-processor package as sensor data...and does this flawlessly...it may fortell the beginning of professional guitars coming with midi output for no more then $100 on-top of the cost of the guitar.

Midi processor packages are not expensive at all now.

Well since the Yamaha has MAJOR channelizing and hammer-on/off problems requiring a whole tricky midi filtering app in between the guitar and the sequencer, it's worth our time to dig in and try and get this plasticized kiddie krap to perform at some minimally useful level.

Hopefully when the smoke clears there'll be one ideal, optimized and standardized system of fixes for all these little glitches we're having. No question the control panel is a big step forward, we just need it to correct some inherent YRG hiccups as well as tweak the vel curves and string sensitivity.

The thing drives me insane. About all it's good for is tap mode and that I take with a grain of salt. I'm about to rip off the YRG plate and see if I can adjust the transducers because of my ongoing note fall off of D&G strings.

Some You Rock Guitar with string picking. As you can see it does not track nearly as well as tap mode even with the latest control app installed.

Only probs I have with it are what I expressed here on page 60.
Except for that...and cutting my nails short, solving the other, i'm happy with it.
Makes you wonder how I can be ok with it and tapper mike, who has others is having probs.

Even though this vid shows my buddy Melvin playing it like a guitar with a sampled strat sound w/effects, he can still manage his way around it. I don't expect to get clean guitar sounds from it, although listening to him, it's not all that bad, and it soon ,may very well be able to play guitar sounds cleanly...w/improvements.

This vid was the first time he played my YRG...so he didn't practice with it or anything...he started playing it, and I asked him if he wouldn't mind if I recorded him with my cam. (always thinking of others.... :lol: )

I myself will be using it strictly as a guitar-type controller for VSTi and hardw-synth, whether it be bass/keys/percussion/orchestra/lines/strings. I don't need it to sound like a guitar..I already have those. :D

Holy crap, it sounds as if you're playing guitar with work gloves on. If that's what this thing does, it sounds like a complete fail.

That's for stopping by. It's been a real pleasure.

So what's current recommended string tension right now, loosen some from the tight factory settings? Or just leave em the way they are?

I made a number of posts concerned with just that matter...but they're gone now...somewhere way back. Sorry.
