I have a few guitars equipped with GK's, they all go though my GR-50. The GR-50 I now use only as a MIDI I/O device. If the GR-50 were to break I'd look for a GI or another GR MIDI I/O replacement. The GR-50 was my very first synth, of any kind, but now 25 years later its sounds really show their age (same as Roland D-110). I do have fun with the GR sounds sometimes but it is unlikley any internal sounds will show up in any music work.

Sorry I get side tracked easily.

I went ahead and pulled trigger today on this Jam Origins MIDI Guitar. I've been playing with it last few weeks and the idea of it really appealed to me and it works fairly well. Tracks well given you can get a good clean audio input. I use a M-audio FW 410 right now.

Truth in advertising: best I can do is 2.7 ms delay. That is, the best I can get with this SW, my PC, the FW 410 and it's ASIO drivers or even ASIO4ALL is 2.7 milliseconds. Disregarding the delay, once the sound gets TO the SW - it tracks as well as my GK/GR set up. And this thing has individual string (and note) sensitivity setups just like setting up a GK on a "by string basis."

All in all, I think it is worth the $99.95 I paid, especially given they are still working on it and updates look to be free. In MY set-up it works really well and my PRIMARY use is to get notes and chords into the PC (I can't play keys to save my life) without having to fire up my rack and I can use any guitar in hand (haven't tried mic'ing an acoustic yet). Also looking forward to trying real time "lead along" to BIAB/RB/PT/SONAR work - TBD with that delay what outcomes/frustrations will be on that front.

But with all such things YOUR MILAGE MAY VERY! I thought that disclaimer needed spelled out - not abbreviated. Now the standard caveat, I have no financial, personal, or professional connections to this company other than as a new customer.
