I may have missed it Carlos, but what midi guitar are you using? I have an old Casio guitar synth that was quite a beast in it's day. I did a lot of gigging with that guitar and used the guitar/synth combo all the time, but never the midi side of it. Now, I'm thinkin..........!

Hi Dan, I use a Godin xtSA with Synth Access and built-in 13 pin connector providing direct access to all Roland GR-Series, it is a amazing guitar in every way, this guitar is constructed with MIDI in mind, RMS acoustic transducer, dense woods a la Les Paul for tons of sustain, mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard assure an excelent note tracking for MIDI conversion at first start. I also use a Epiphone Joe Pass with a Roland GK3 pickup. About your MIDI guitar, maybe I guess what do you own is a Casio PG380 MIDI Synth Guitar or the MG510 , both guitars are excelent and so well constructed, the guitars themselves were produced under contract for Casio by Fuji Gen Gakki, who also built the Roland and Ibanez MIDI guitars. PG380 have a internal synth which is quick to respond, just the MIDI to external out was a bit slow for today standards, but it work. The adventage of Casio MIDI guitars is that don't need an external converter since the MIDI data is generated by a built-in electronic circuit, you only need a MIDI cable and a MIDI synth to connect it.
