MIDI Guitar for PC

★ ★ ★ MIDI Guitar Overview

What is MIDI Guitar?

MIDI Guitar is an app that allows guitarists to play any synth or virtual instrument with their guitar. It transcribes guitar playing into MIDI in real-time with low latency and high accuracy. The app is available as an AudioUnit plugin and a standalone app that can host other iOS synth apps or send virtual MIDI to Garageband or other DAWs.

Software Features and Description

1. MIDI Guitar is over 10 years in development(!) and based upon state-of-the-art polyphonic pitch detection and –prediction technology that can accurately recognize guitar playing and -articulation with very low latency and without spurious hits.

2. MIDI Guitar comes as AudioUnit plugin (AUv3) and as a standalone app which can host other iOS synth apps or send virtual midi to Garageband or other DAWs.

3. MIDI Guitar is the World’s first app to transcribe guitar playing into MIDI in real-time, with latency and accuracy comparable to expensive and inconvenient hardware MIDI guitar solutions.

4. Play any synth or virtual instrument with your trusted guitar.

5. Using an acoustic guitar with the built in microphone works for some purposes but is not optimal.

6. We recommend a digital interface (using the lightning connector) over analog (via headphone jack), preferably with input gain control.

7. You need a guitar interface for best results.

8. The technology has been validated by thousands of guitarists over the years.

9. The free version will interrupt every few minutes, asking you to buy an in-app purchase.

Top Pcmac Reviews

One of the best apps ever created

By Boo Kiker (Pcmac user)

I’ve been playing around with this app for a few years now. More as a fun curiosity. Had it on stage a couple of times but things were getting too cluttered with the phone rigged up with this app 2 and pedals. Was looking more at trying to slim down all the wiring on stage. I just discovered all that’s under the hood in this app today. I can actually get rid of all my pedals (except one) and use MG2 exclusively. It’s equipped with all the effects I normally use in pedal form. Plus all the virtual instruments I want to use - so no other app is necessary. I already thought this was a well above the mark app, but now.....! This plus the Omec Teleport and l’m totally set. You can set presets in the app for all the sounds + effects combos you use. So easy to get a setup you like, then save it and recall when you need it. Thank you so much. This is truly the best note to the app converter setup ever devised. Either the tracking has gotten better over the past year or I’m getting better at playing through a the app converter. I can barely hear the latency. Sounds more like a slight quick single hit delay effect (quick slapback) - which I normally use anyway. Soooo awesooooome!!!
It actually works

By Mesh43567875437 (Pcmac user)

Like many who are proficient at an instrument learning to master another has its challenges. Starting from scratch on a keyboard when I can easily play a song on my guitar gets boring. Quick. And though I can use a keyboard recording in real time is difficult at best. Throw in the fact I own many apps with tablature and few with piano notes this was the app for me. Now when I need that quick sax or flute. There it is. All I gotta do is what I do. Play guitar. As far as some reviews saying the chords sometimes sound muddy. I play the chords as if I’m playing a keyboard. I.e. I pluck the three (or more) strings that make up the chord. Not strum all six guitar strings. Really great app. Easy to use. Thinking of buying the computer version at some point. Good job developer.
lower tunings

By Michaelmars1984 (Pcmac user)

Can you please enable lower tunings below D for those of us who play cello and viola and or perhaps death metal. This works nearly perfect except the first string only registers no notes lower than D. Please add this C tuning option and I will praise thee after then!
The only polyphonic guitar to synth app you need.

By whyshouldi? (Pcmac user)

I’ve been using this for years while experimenting with other apps, and while Jam Synth and Roxsyn are worthy apps - they are not capable of sending the app to other, more capable synth apps. They can’t route to external effects. As it is a host for Au3 (and IAA ) this the only app that can do this and it does it well. The developers have been also working on the guitar -through side too and it sounds great. Now here is my request to the developers: I have a few effects that operate as sequencers ( Enso, Replicant, and Flux) that have to be hosted. To get them to sequence the host needs to trigger the sequence. This is not available in your app. I can work around in AUM, but that is pain.
