New Halo's - eights, nines and tens?

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.

Just use two drivers.

Just use two drivers.

Which equals two preamps, two 13 pin outs, and two midi interfaces (for example two Roland GI-20s). By design the 13 pin hexaphonic only supports six strings. Though doable, doubling everything would be expensive and the cabling would be a royal PITA.

Though you do have me pondering how cool that setup could be

It has began. Got the EMG's in and the plot so now the guitar is started.

The actual guitar will be a tad different than plot but you get the idea.

Somebody needs to design a midi pickup that covers more strings.

 

[darren]

It's not just the pickup. As technomancer said, it's an interface issue as well. Nobody has made a guitar-to-MIDI convertor capable of handling more than 6 strings of input.

Thank ya thank ya very much.

Then somebody needs to do so.

+1 on both counts

Have you tried?

Two preamps and two outputs with two cables and two synth units is the cheapest way to go right now, unless you want to only play one string at a time..

 

[Seedawakener]

Wow, Waylon! You HAVE to keep us updated on that guitar cause it's going to look ridiculous!

 

[Desecrated]

Have you tried?

I fail at installing light tubes. I´m the least technical person I've ever meet. I don't think I should try and make a midi driver, But someone else should give it a try. In my humble nontechnical opinion.

Ridiculously COOL
