Sorry to inform you you can't get piezos on a Kahler trem, nobody makes piezo saddles for them. You could get piezos on a Hipshot fixed bridge, maybe :agreed: I wonder how many inputs the Ghost preamps can handle...

is everyone else getting PMs from W4D these past 2 days, or is he on vacation/break or something? I tried PMing him and usually he answers super fast, but nothing these last 2 days.

Maybe better to email him? Im very interested in his work though.

Yeah, try his email through halo's website. His ss.org mailbox fills up really quickly.

He's usually not online much on the weekends, plus I believe he's getting ready for Summer NAMM, so he may be a bit busy at the moment.

I was talking to W4D and he was saying he talked to gary kahler about it, and it is now possible for piezos.

Does this mean you could get midi-capable saddles for Kahler trems? That would be truly fantastic

To be midi-capable, you just need a divided pickup, so I'd say it is possible. :D As far as how well it'd track, that'd be anyone's guess until someone tries.

Jusy PM'ed Waylon for more information.

The problem with midi is the same problem you have with sevens.. ie the controllers that attach to existing systems only support tracking six strings... it's the only reason I didn't get the midi system on my KxK along with the piezo preamp.
