I bought the Fishman TriplePlay a number of years ago and it works great. Really good tracking and it's polyphonic.

I'm a synth player and I just picked up my first guitar and learning how to play it and having fun, but now I'm going to go buy one of these. Thank you for the video, and for reference, the round cord with the five connectors is called General MIDI. I'm a MIDI synth freak doing this thirty years.

The ghost writer is chock full of sounds. Pretty impressive!!

At £183 it ain't cheap. The big question: what's the latency? It should be easy to measure this by recording guitar and MIDI into a DAW and zooming in closely. I have played around with a few things like this (eg Migic) and found that with all of them the latency is too great for practical use.

Ahab. Starbuck was his first mate. Ishmael is the narrator. "Call me Ishmael." Trade ya this for this good video.

I love I did guitar 2. It does really good tracking and no pedal needed! Have you tried it? And what does this do compared to it if you have? Im genuinely curious. Love your vids!

[wurlitsyzer]

in the same price range an other option is the fishman triple play connect, i wish they had it with a classic sturdy midi cable connection instead of usb.

Hey question...can i use this to tab stuff on guitar pro? I heard guitar pro 6 has a real time feature to record midi. But id like to use it on latest versions. i dont want to invest on a pricey controller. I may have to remap the notes i figure

[arthurivex]

I'm looking for a replacement for the Midi Guitar 2 (plug-in), I was looking at the JamStik $1k+, but this looks like it may be a solution! The cool thing is that this is a pedal not a plug-in.

[xaplax]

why do you play so biggest problem w guitar midi is keeping up can hear/see about a 20ms delay when you play even many of these guitar midi reviews are slow motion playing

[gnarshred]

It seems pretty accurate and articulate

[samiirai]

Midi 2 Guitar is what anyone is looking for, its free to try, you dont need hella expensive midi-gear, guitar and audio interface is all you need.
It has zero latency, tracks insanely good, lets you play any synth without hassle what more can you ask for??

[exhpv]

Hi mate, do you know how well it tracks with a bass? I want to layer synth under my bass and have been looking for something like this!!

[PrisonLaParis]

I got one and it constantly mistriggered, tracking was unusable. I have the multiple midi guitar setups and this was by far the worst. I have the Fishman triple play which works great for me. The Jamstik guitar works great. The one that shocked me the most for the crazy cheap price was the Sonuus G2M. That worked 100 times better than the Ghost Writer and was 1/3 of the price. $80 for the Sonuus and $244 for the Ghost Writer….. I thought maybe mine was faulty when I got it, but when I reached out to Recovery, the company who makes them…. No response. Awesome video though, glad yours works!

[distorson]

So it can only detect monophonic lines? That is a pity, as long as a guitar to MIDI device is not able to be polyphonic, I wouldn't border to get it.

[levisnotjeans]

How's this compare to adding in a midi pickup? I just imagine the string sensors are gonna be so much more articulate than a through signal

[lunastrat]

If you could get a Piezo pickup that can output each string separately, then get six of these pedals, then it can be polyphonic.That would be a weird set up.

[Strielok]

How accurate Ghost Writer is? In any method of recording guitar as MIDI you have to correct the track manually for a long time. With Ghost Writer do you also have to correct tracks manually or is it 100% accurate?

[woodward_alan]

Should be able to reamp a di into this and have it add layers in the mix right?
