For a guitar player who wants the device only to input MIDI notes, it may well be the best bang for the buck.

But the reason RealTracks are so useful in computer based music is that they free us from the failed task of trying to make a midi guitar sound like a real guitar. Only audio recordings of a real guitar sound good enough to be on a serious recording.

For that reason I see this as a really good idea that came about 3 years too late.



Pat, this may work to input midi notes as you have indicated however You Rock Guitar will not make midi guitar sound anymore realistic than a keyboard. Midi is midi regardless of the method of input.

Star Labs have made a very similar instruments called Ztar for a few years now. The difference is there are a lot more options in the Ztar line and they start around $2,000 USD.

I would like to get my hands on a You Rock Guitar just to see how it performs. But I’m still working on my very basic keyboard and wind controller skills for midi input.
