Simple and Effective Guitar-to-MIDI Conversion!

The Sonuus G2M easily turns your guitar signal into a monophonic MIDI signal, so you can track MIDI parts or control a virtual instrument live. Best of all, the Sonuus G2M is universal - so you don't need to mount a special pickup in your guitar just to use it. The device accurately and quickly picks up your MIDI information, even capturing such performance nuances as pitch bends - so everything is cleanly translated to the digital domain. Use it to sequence bass lines, bolster live performances, or turn solos into music notation - you'll love having the Sonuus G2M in your rig.

Turns your guitar signal into a monophonic MIDI signal

The Sonuus G2M offers up a simple way to turn your guitar signal into a monophonic MIDI signal - no messy installations required. Just plug into the Sonuus G2M - the same as you would a regular stompbox - from there, the Sonuus G2M can read a single note at a time, translating all of your playing nuances into a MIDI signal. The applications of the Sonuus G2M are far-reaching - and just plain fun - and for such an affordable price, it's a great addition to any rig.

Improved Version 3

G2M is now in Version 3. Sonuus has made improvements to tracking accuracy and tripled the performance. In addition, it now supports voice and wind instruments as well as guitar and bass. It also offers 20dB more headroom than previous versions, which means it will capture your playing dynamics more accurately.

Use it to sequence bass lines and tricky solos

If you're playing a bass line into a DAW on a MIDI controller, sometimes you just can't translate those subtle bends the way you would if you were playing it on a bass. Instead, you can just play the bass lines into the Sonuus G2M - it will turn the stream of notes into a MIDI signal, which you can later transpose and run through different virtual instruments and synthesizers. This same process is also a handy way to track tricky solos. Just play them in as slowly as you like, with a focus on accuracy - then speed up the MIDI signal or transpose it into a different key, without introducing artifact issues associated with software-based audio pitch and time changes.

Excellent tool for enhancing live performances

While the Sonuus G2M is an excellent studio tool, it's also a great way to give your onstage playing a little extra "oomph" and dimension. Run the 5-pin MIDI output into a synthesizer, for example, to add some fatness behind your guitar sound. Or set it up so a certain sound effect triggers every time you play a particular note - the possibilities are enormous.

Helps to improve playing technique

The Sonuus G2M is a cool creative tool, but it can also help you practice more effectively. Because the Sonuus G2M reads one note at a time, it will help you work on playing each note precisely and articulately, so the Sonuus G2M reads it just the way you intend. With the Sonuus G2M, not only will your MIDI output be more accurate - but your regular guitar playing will be much more clean and professional.

Works well to create music notation

Pair the Sonuus G2M with any music notation software - or the music notation tools included in your DAW - and use it to notate a solo line or a bass passage. Rather than thinking through how you'd score your guitar part - or trying to play it on a keyboard - you can just plug into the Sonuus G2M and play.

Features a built-in standard guitar tuner

You can easily use the Sonuus G2M away from your regular guitar rig. It features a built-in standard guitar tuner, so you can be sure you're always in tune as you play your parts and it turns them into MIDI information.

  • Single-note (Monophonic) Guitar-to-MIDI converter

YES it does work with any CENTER POSITIVE power supply

Look at the 2nd pho it clearly shows center-positive. I happened to have a center pos power supply (only 100ma but that's plenty) and it works perfectly. This is an error in the description and little manual - it claims to work with any standard 9V power supply (which is center negative) and that's not the case. But if you really don't want to deal with unplugging it to turn it off, to save battery life, just search for a 9V power supply "reverse polarity" but be prepared to get results with center neg...OR just snip the wires, reverse 'em your self and tape them back together.

Works well for what it is. I use it to add on top of a live acoustic guitar loop, midi'd to my old Roland synth module - it always elicits wide eyed "What the hell is that?" comments.

AS PROMISED

A "Monophonic Guitar-to-MIDI Converter" that does everything it promised to do. You may want polyphonic capability (which this DOES NOT promise); however, good luck getting it for a price approaching this unit's. I was especially impressed by the instant plug and play response (with my JV30) and the flawless tracking (as long as I dutifully played one note at a time). There are FEW industry products that actually deliver on their advertising hype (for which I blame the hype). This is a rare exception. GET ONE and keep it in your gig bag!

Works great as a wind controller

I play sax as well as a Yamaha WX-5 wind controller to a Roland XV-5050 with Patchman Music wind controller patch set. This allowed me to also use my sax as a wind controller and layer the Roland patches with the natural sax using a bell mounted clip on mic. I also play the sax thru a TC-Helicon Harmony G-XT that gives me an octave below and a fifth above. Using these two together I get a very full horn section. The only reason I have not given five stars is that it took some doing to get this just right. I had to pass the mic signal thru a gate in order to eliminate false triggers. Also had to insulate mic clip on horn to eliminate key/pad noise from triggering the G2M. Overall I am very pleased with the result.
