It locks into the initial note. Midi Guitar (sorry I called it Guitar Synth above) seems to convert notes played on the guitar into MIDI note on/off messages at a fixed velocity. It's pretty limited compared to a proper dedicated hex pickup / guitar synth module, but for 10 bucks it's still a great tool. Playing chords on a guitar and hearing a lush pad swell up underneath is a beautiful thing... and power chords with some Nave patches absolutely kill. I have tried several different setups - direct into Alesis IO Dock (which allows monitoring of the clean guitar through one channel), through a few different amps' line out into the Dock, mixer into Logic amps/fx with mixer channel send back out into the Dock and then into the mixer... fun stuff :) The app is free to download and try for yourself btw.

I haven't tried it with Audiobus yet, not sure how I'd set it up but will mess with it when I have time.

You'll note that in the link above that there is a beta version for Mac/PC which I haven't tried yet, but I did download it and had a look at the interface which appears to have more parameters. I'll set it up properly and give it a go over the weekend

Thanks for the info was just curious. I got the demo and will try it out for grins. I have an axon 100 and gr-55 that give me plenty of guitar midi capabilities. It just made me wonder how they handled a string bend when your post mentioned it did not repond.

No problem... Apparently it handles bends like a ten-buck app, but one can always hope for updates :wink: That Axon looks sweet btw!
