You can also make the data play any other midi patch but that’s got to be hard way of playing a piano, or trumpet needs to be at least a plucked string imo.


Not really Mike. A guitar MIDI controller can be just as useful as any MIDI controller. It can also record pitch bend and slurs very easily.

Unless you open up another port of 16.


I have set up my Casio MG-510's output to one channel, thus eliminating the six channel hogging setting. I'm sure other guitar controllers can do that also.

I don't think the OP is asking for guitar presets. I think he wants to use a guitar controller to emulate other instruments.

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.
