About MIDI Guitars and Pickups
For some guitar players, it’s not all about vintage tone. These players crave unlimited flexibility and modes of expression unfettered by tradition or nostalgia. They see their guitar as a creative tool capable of so much more. It is a controller for technically manipulating and mangling sounds and for interfacing directly with sonic ideas that may have nothing to do with what we think of as a “guitar.”
It is for this special musical mindset that the MIDI guitar was invented. MIDI guitars, and those with transducer pickups and synth outputs, can control sonic parameters like no other instrument. Yet these are still guitars, and as such, they are well-crafted instruments capable of producing superb guitar tones, in addition to being an electronic interface.
Traditional Feel, Endless Potential
MIDI guitars can be a joy to play. They are built with various tried-and-true body and neck wood combinations. With finish options like figured maple tops, mahogany bodies, and necks topped with maple or Richlite fingerboards, these guitars look amazing and are made to play. When it comes to their complement of magnetic pickups, there is every option you could want, from dual humbuckers to single coils in various 2- and 3-pickup configurations.
Now, here is where things get intense. In addition to the traditional magnetic pickups, these guitars incorporate transducer and synth pickup technology that lets you interface with external synthesizers and sound modules. With up to six channels of synth signal transmission, you can get to Jupiter and back with the flip of a switch. Route the signal into a guitar synth processor on the floor in front of you, and you’ve got an effects unit like no other, with modulation, delay, and your own patches loaded via USB. They also have MIDI I/O for interfacing with any MIDI-equipped piece of equipment you care to add to the mix. The sheer number of ways to manipulate the guitar’s sound is staggering.
Expandability? These Guitars Have It
But there’s more. We carry MIDI guitars that feature an integrated wireless transmitter in your synth pickup that pairs with a USB receiver you plug into your laptop. Can you see where this is going? Now you’ve got six control signal channels flowing right into your performance DAW. Load up a stack of VST filters and effects and you’ve got yourself the ultimate guitar.
