My reasons for using software over hardware (not only for MIDI but also for amp sims and FX) is because my work requires me to travel constantly so I carry my headless Steinberger guitar, Windows laptop, iPad and a small audio interface, all fits in my carry-on, I hope version 3 is released soon for Windows and iOS

A great time to be alive. So, can you tell me if there is any preferred pickup configuration for MG3? Like single coil vs humbucker? I have an old 1966 kalamazoo with melody maker pickups. And a Spector with active EMGs. Surely some pickups produce a signal that MG3 likes more than others? Thanks again Leif!

I JUST started down this rabbit hole a few weeks ago!
Got midiguitar 2 up and running on the iPad and now SWAM instruments are on deck!
Any chance you could help with routing an expression pedal to various parameters in a SWAM Auv3 (in loopy pro would be precisely what im trying to do, however any exposure to midi mapping the pedal to an auv3 instance would be pointing me in the right direction)?
[Edit: tangential question - which parameters are best for the expression pedal? Is it one for all SWAM instruments or does it change from one to another?]

Thanks for the profound information about the vast possibilities of MIDI Guitar 3 - if one wants to go down the more synth oriented rabbit hole, I totally agree with your view. I am however more traditionally oriented as sounds and playing technique are concerned and have found a combination of hardware (BOSS GM-800) and software (Gig Performer 4) to be my favorite solution. I control my patch settings in the hardware and can use all combinations of virtual instruments and plugins inside of Gig Performer - I even use it for my vocal effects and pickup guitar sound. So I guess that hard- and software aren’t mutually exclusive when playing MIDI guitar. Best wishes, Eddie

You're timing couldn't have been better. Just yesterday, I was lamenting not having a good solution for playing MIDI via my guitar. I've looked at the various hardware solutions, but the expense, guitar modifications, and less than stellar results were unacceptable. Software MIDI solutions didn't fare much better due to various types of pitch accuracy issues, and constraints on how to play the guitar for good MIDI translation.
MIDI Guitar 2 caught my attention about a year ago, and that was when I had real hope that good MIDI via a regular guitar could be achievable soon. MIDI Guitar 3 looks like that day is arriving. Do you know about when it will be available on Windows to try it out?
Thanks for all your great videos on MIDI for guitar. Your expertise, knowledge, pragmatic approach, and Demos show there is a viable way forward for those of us who prefer Software solutions. Thanks

I looked into midi guitar 2 a few years back but my aging MBP was way below specs. Recently bought an M1 MacBook Air, my main focus these days being MPC Live2 & Akai Force along with various guitars and vocals. Question is, Will Midi guitar 2, and 3 work on M1 'Air' (low spec 8gig ram a pensioner budget special) Also, and if so, would 2 come with automatic upgrade to 3, or should I just wait for 3. Would download demo of 2 as a test but that may exclude a demo of 3, so would I be best to just wait for 3 before trying.

I'm stuck between going the software route and hardware route. I'd prefer hardware for the hands-on feel and knob turning, but being locked into a 6 string or ~4 octaves for the GK5 pickup is a huge turnoff. I play 8 string guitars for more range to transcribe songs from film and video games.
I guess if I'm ending up in Cubase or Ableton anyway, I might as well use a hybrid setup: MIDI Guitar 2 + some VSTs (Komplete 14 CE), and run a Radial EXTC Stereo for an effects loop of guitar pedals.
