FOR WINDOWS & MAC

MIDI Guitar turns any guitar into a true polyphonic MIDI Guitar, with latency and accuracy comparable to expensive and inconvenient hardware MIDI-Guitar solutions. This is achieved by connecting your guitar to your computer and letting MIDI Guitar use its polyphonic (multi-note) pitch detection algorithm to convert your guitars signal to MIDI that can be used to play a soft synth or virtual instrument or as a plugin in your Digital Audio Workstation

MIDI Guitar is available as both a VST/Audio Unit plugin, but also a standalone application that can transfer MIDI to your Digital Audio Workstation using Virtual MIDI on Mac OS X and a virtual MIDI cable driver on Windows.

The free trial of MIDI Guitar allows you to evaluate the recognition technology without any interruptions when using the Test Piano and with interruptions when hosting plugins or using MIDI output.

Ableton Live 9

IMPORTANT: if you installed the VST, but it doesn’t show up in Live, try the following:
1) goto Live / Preferences / Plugins
2) Hit “rescan” with the “alt” key pressed. This will force Live to evaluate all plugins.

Here is another video that shows the basics of using MIDI Guitar as a plugin in Ableton Live 9, but is also slightly misleading. Please see the comment below.

In this video, the MIDI Guitar 2 AudioUnit is loaded and it outputs MIDI with the V-MIDI option, which works, but cause a latency overhead. Please don’t use the AudioUnit with Ableton. Instead, load the MIDI Guitar 2 VST plugin and use the direct midi output (which is enabled by default). In your MIDI/instrument track, go to “MIDI From” and select the audio track on which the MIDI Guitar VST is loaded. Now, when recording, you get MIDI into the piano roll of that MIDI track.

Acoustica MIxcraft (not compatible)

Mixcraft (windows only app) does not support standard midirouting and therefore does not work with our plugin out of the box. Workarounds are theoretically possible but not for the faint of heart!

Apple GarageBand

Video tutorial for GarageBand:

Apple Logic Pro X

Apple Logic Pro X

Logic does not support routing MIDI out of AudioUnit plugins, but virtual midi works to get MIDI into Logic and is simple to setup. First, make sure you apply Logic’s low latency mode.

Recommended setup:

The best way to use MG with Logic is using the MG AudioUnit (customers only):

1. Make sure you place the MIDI Guitar 2.component in your plugins folder (typically thats /Library/audio/plugins/Components/) as described above.
2. Restart your computer so that Logic Pro will scan the new files you have installed.
3. Next, open Logic Pro on your Mac and create two tracks… The first track should be an “audio track” for the audio from your guitar. On the channel fader of this “first” track, activate Midi Guitar 2 in the audio FX slot. Make sure you don’t use any other effects before MIDI Guitar (as MIDI Guitar needs a completely dry input).
4. Now, create a second track. This new “second” track should be an “instrument track” for the “midi information” that will automatically come from the Midi Guitar 2 plugin on the first guitar track you created… These two tracks will work together!
   On the second track you created, do not call up Midi Guitar 2 in the channel fader slots.
   When you create an “instrument track” in Logic Pro, it automatically installs an instrument in a midi instrument slot… That is the instrument that will be activated and played by the midi information recorded on the track. you can of course change it to any instrument.

The following video shows how to use MG in Logic Pro X

This video shows how to use both internal sounds and midi in a simple studio setup:

Using only the MIDI Guitar standalone:

• Instead of using the MIDI Guitar Audio Unit, you can simply run the MIDI Guitar standalone and select the MIDI Output Route: “MIDI Guitar Virtual MIDI Out”. Now “MIDI Guitar” appears in Logic as a MIDI input without any additional work. That’s it. It’s just there. This method will add a bit of latency compared to recommended approach described above.

Ardour

If the buffersize in Ardour is set to 256, the usage of our MIDI Guitar VST is very straightforward.

We still need to add a quickstart vid here.

AVID ProTools (only via extra bridging plugin and midi loopback)

AVID ProTools

Since ProTools does not support VST or AU plugins you need to use MIDI Guitar standalone and a virtual midi driver. The idea is that you connect MIDI Guitar to ProTools though a virtual cable (in much the same way you would connect a physical midi keyboard controller though its software driver). Its fairly simple:

1. If you are using Windows you need a virtual midi loop driver, such as loopMidi or loopBe1 (both freeware). Mac users can skip this step as Apple operating systems already include a virtual midi standard.

2. Make sure MIDI Guitar works in standalone mode, i.e. you can play the Test Piano.

3. In MIDI Guitar select the virtual midi loop driver as MIDI Output (bottom left). On Windows that is a loopMidi/loopBe1 device. On Mac its the “MIDI Guitar Virtual MIDI Out”.

4. In ProTools, enable the same device as input. (Setup > MIDI >Input Devices > Check the box next to the MIDI Guitar loop output). Mac users just select the built in “MIDI Guitar Virtual MIDI Out”.

5. Thats it. Your guitar is now connected to ProTools, just like a midi keyboard.

Note that virtual midi is not ideal in terms of latency, although usually the impact is unnoticeable. We will consider an AAX plugin in the future.

Note for Windows users: Since most ASIO drivers only works with one application at a time you might also need a second interface.

Using BlueCat VST wrapper ( this works only on macOS)

As an alternative to the above, you can use the BlueCat VST wrapper.
You have to load the MIDI Guitar AU audio unit: that plugin will create a virtual midi port.

Bitwig

Our plugins work in Bitwig, and the MIDI is routable from our plugin to other tracks.
there is a quirk however with getting Bitwig to be able to record the MIDI onto a pianoroll.

Harmonizer vst plugin mac. Cakewalk by Bandlab

Cakewalk Sonar

Starting with Sonar X3 and any newer versions works great with MIDI Guitar:

1. Copy the MIDI Guitar plug-in to the VST folder
2. Launch SONAR. If the plug-in is no listed in the Audio FX list, run the VST scanner.
3. Create or open a project.
4. Add new audio track, set the input to a mono source (or use an existing mono track). Insert MIDI Guitar into FX bin or ProChannel. To record MIDI data from MIDI Guitar MIDI, using the VST2 drop down in the plug-in header click “Enable MIDI Output” otherwise load a synth plug-in directly into the instrument output of MIDI Guitar, enable input echo on and skip step 5.
5. Add a new synh or change the input to an existing synth to MIDI Guitar. Make sure both the MIDI Guitar audio track and the synth (Instrument or MIDI) track have input echo enabled.

Old versions of Sonar:

In older versions of Sonar (version X1, X2) there are issues with MIDI Guitar. The Sonar addressed these issues in version X3, but some have found a workaround for old versions Sonar that apparently works in X1 and X2.

( Quoted from MoreK at KVR Forum: RE Sonar X2 & MIDI Guitar )

What I missed was the MIDI Guitar pop-up menu in the Synth rack. Clicking the keyboard icon with right mouse button gives a menu with no “Enable MIDI Output” option. You have to click grey area of the synth and you’ll get a different menu with the MIDI output option.

So, to summarize the whole setup:

1. Copy VST plugin to your VST folder
2. Launch Sonar. It should automatically recognize the new plug-in and create needed registry entries (ie you should see the plug-in as an effect in Audio FX menu). If not, use Plug-in Manager to scan new plug-ins.
3. Use Cakewalk Plug-in Manager, find MIDI Guitar in Effects section and open “Plug-in Properties”. Enable “Configure as synth” option.
4. Close Sonar and use Regedit to change generateEvents key from “0” to “1” in HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareCakewalk Music SoftwareSONAR ProducerCakewalk VST X64Inventory -> MIDI Guitar
5. Launch Sonar. Add new audio track. Insert MIDI Guitar (now found in Soft Synths menu) to FX bin.
6. Go to Synth rack view. Right click grey area of the MIDI Guitar synth block and click “Enable MIDI Output”.

That’s it. Add your favourite synth to a new track and route MIDI input from MIDI Guitar, which should be visible in MIDI input menu.

Thanks again, works like a charm now.

FL Studio 20 (unconfirmed performance)

FL Studio 20

. is available for both windows and macos now!
The internal routing allows for connecting the loaded MIDI Guitar plugin to purchased FL synths and none-FL synths.
Note 1: MIDI Guitar is not made with variable buffersize in mind. The display of buffersize and cpu load are erratic.
Note 2: as for now, we dont really know how well it works latency and stabilitywise. It may be so that the standalone/virtual midi is more stable, especially on macos.

FL Studio (before version 20)

You have two options:

1. You can use the MIDI Guitar VST plugin inside FL Studio. This is optimal in terms of latency but unfortunately FL Studio does not currently support routing midi from VST plugins to its piano roll. Thus, you will be limited to hosting synths and instruments inside MIDI Guitars internal plugin host.
If using this option you need to make sure FL process audio in fixed size buffers. Please see the FL docs: http://www.image-line.com/support/FLHelp/html/plugins/wrapper_2_processing.htm

2. The other option is to use a virtual midi loop and the MIDI Guitar standalone. This is detailed below.

How To Install Vst Plugins In Sonar Software

Install loopMIDI. Start loopMIDI and add a MIDI port.

In FL Studio MIDI Settings, Enable the loopMIDI Input MIDI device and set the loopMIDI Output MIDI device port number to 0

In the Mixer add MIDI Guitar plugin to an available channel other than Master. In MIDI Guitar plugin settings set MIDI Output port to 0. In the step sequencer select and enable a synth such a DX10.

Propellerhead Reason 9.5

From Reason 9.5 on, VST plugins are supported, but the midi output from a VST is not routed yet.
We’ve notified Propellerhead of this, hopefully they add the functionality soon. You still need the use the standalone via virtual midi route now.
https://www.propellerheads.se/reason-95

Propellerhead Reason below 9.5

Since Reason does not support VST or AU plugins you need to use MIDI Guitar standalone and a virtual midi driver. Its fairly simple:

1. First make sure MIDI Guitar works in standalone mode. If you are using Windows you need to install a virtual midi loop driver (such as loopMidi or loopBe1, both freeware). Select the virtual midi driver as output route in MIDI Guitar. Mac users simply select the MIDI output route: “MIDI Guitar Virtual MIDI Out”.

2. In Reason you must register the virtual MIDI driver as a MIDI Control Keyboard/surface. See the image below.

Note that virtual midi is not ideal in terms of latency. We do not know yet if there is has any real impact or not on latency. We will consider Reason Rack Extension in the future.

Traktion 7

Compatibility with popular DAWs

Please find guides for each DAW above.

* On Windows it requires a virtual midi driver such as the free loopMIDI

Recommended DAW settings

Its recommended you run your DAW at 44100Hz using 128 or 256 samples pr audio buffer. Its important to understand that running at too high samplerates will cause latency and unresponsive tracking.

MIDI Guitar should work fine at high samplerates as well (88.2K, 96K, 192K, etc.), but it will cause additional CPU load and have no quality benefits as for MG concerned.

Processing old recordings

MIDI Guitar will generally process anyting on a track in a DAW, and this can be used to process old recordings in you DAW, in the same was as it can be used on live tracks, as long as those tracks are dry guitar recordings.

This means you can convert dry guitar audio recordings to MIDI, and have endless creative use cases. For inspiration please see this video:

• DAWs >Sonar / Cakewalk

Normally, this column talks about a musical application of Sonar. However, as music software becomes more complex, it becomes necessary to tune your software as well as your instrument. Plug‑ins are a huge part of today's computer‑based recording, so how you work with, manage and select them can have a major impact on workflow, as we'll see in this month's column.

Common Ground

When VST plug‑ins appeared, Steinberg's programs installed them in C:/Program Files/Steinberg/Vstplugins. When installing a non‑Steinberg program, some would install into an existing folder, while others would create their own VST plug‑ins folder. Programs need to know where to look for plug‑ins, using a path typically specified in Preferences. So it simplifies life if you create just one VST plug‑ins folder, put all your VST plug‑ins there, and point all your programs to it.It makes life quicker and easier if you have just one VST plug‑ins folder.

1. Create the folder (mine is at C:/Program Files/Vstplugins).

2. Use your computer's search function to find all the VST plug‑ins folders.

3. Transfer all VST plug‑ins to your main folder.

4. In Sonar, go to Options / Global / VST Plug‑ins tab. To add your new folder, click on 'Add', navigate to the folder, click on it, and then select 'OK'. Now Sonar will look for VST plug‑ins within that folder.

With multiple programs installed, you may have some surprises. Some plug‑ins are 'keyed' to specific programs and won't work in Sonar, while plug‑ins from other programs will work just fine once Sonar points to them. To make sure Sonar sees newly installed plug‑ins, tick 'Scan for VST Plug‑ins On Startup'. Sonar will scan only those plug‑ins that have been added since you last opened Sonar. I would not recommend ticking 'Re‑scan Existing Plug‑ins,' as you'll have to wait for Sonar to scan all your plug‑ins on startup, which can be time‑consuming when you have a lot of plug‑ins.

Missing Plug‑ins

When opening a project, Sonar will inform you if it can't find a plug‑in that is used in that specific project. With VST plug‑ins this can happen for a variety of reasons, including the plug‑in having been moved to a different folder. Look in the VST plug‑ins folder that Sonar points to and make sure that the plug‑in is located there. If not, re‑install it into that folder. Another reason for Sonar not being able to find a plug‑in could be that it was not installed when you installed Sonar itself. This is because Sonar includes most of the older, bundled plug‑ins for compatibility, but may not install them if newer, improved versions exist. To install all plug‑ins included with Sonar:

1. Start installing Sonar from the distribution DVD‑ROM.

2. When you reach the Select Components screen, click on the Options box in the plug‑ins category.

3. Tick any older plug‑ins you want to install.

4. Click 'OK', then complete the installation process.

As for Direct X plug‑ins, if the plug‑in doesn't load it may not be properly registered with Windows (host software knows where to find DirectX effects via the registry, rather than dealing with a file path). To register a plug‑in:Using the 'regsvr' command can make sure that Direct X programs are registered properly.

1. Locate the DLL of the Direct X plug‑in that you need to register and note the file path.

2. Go to Start / Run.

3. Type regsvr32 'file path” (you must use quotes, as in, for example, 'regsvr32 'C:/Program Files/Cakewalk/Shared Plugins/Aliasfactor.dll”').

4. Click 'OK'.

5. A window should appear saying that the registration succeeded. Reboot the computer to make sure the registration 'sticks'.

You may want to unregister a Direct X plug‑in if you don't use it any more or it's corrupted. Follow the same steps as above but type 'regsvr /u 'file path”'. In stubborn cases, you may need to unregister a plug‑in before you can register it.

Bad Behaviour

Poorly written, obsolete or corrupted plug‑ins used in a project can cause Sonar to crash upon loading it. With many programs, you have to look at the opening splash screen to see which plug‑ins are being loaded and, hopefully, you'll see which one is being loaded when the program crashes. However, Sonar makes this process much easier.

Before opening a project file, hold down the Shift key. Go to File / Open and open the project while still holding the Shift key. A window will open each time Sonar is instructed to load a plug‑in, and you'll be asked whether you want to load that plug‑in. If you click 'Yes' and Sonar crashes, there's your answer.

Audio Meets MIDI

Some audio effects plug‑ins respond to MIDI in one way or another, such as BIAS PitchCraft EZ responding to MIDI notes for setting pitch. Installing as a standard audio plug‑in doesn't expose the MIDI inputs, but there is a workaround: tell Sonar it's a virtual instrument.If an audio plug‑in responds to MIDI, you should tell Sonar that it's actually a virtual instrument, otherwise Sonar will not expose the plug‑in's MIDI inputs.

1. Go to Tools / Cakewalk Plug‑in Manager.

2. Under Plug‑in Categories, select 'VST Audio Effects'.

3. Click on the plug‑in in the Registered Plug‑ins column.

4. Click on 'Plug‑in Properties'.

5. In the Properties window, tick 'Configure as synth'.

6. Click 'OK'.

7. The list of plug‑ins should refresh and you'll be able to find the plug‑in under the VST Instruments plug‑in category.

However, as it's a processor, don't use the Insert / Soft Synths method to add it to a track. Instead, right‑click in the Effects bin and select the processor from the Soft Synths choices. You can then create a MIDI track and select the signal processor as the track's MIDI output.

A similar trick works for effects that respond to tempo. If the effect doesn't respond to tempo of its own accord, follow the same steps as before but, in step five, tick 'Configure As Tempo‑Based Effect'.

Properties Window

In Sonar, you can click on the plug‑in name and enter a more descriptive user name. For example, I had two plug‑ins whose names were both 'Compressor'; I just renamed them. Note that this changes only how Sonar refers to the plug‑ins, as they still display their original name to other programs.

The Properties window also makes it easy to find where plug‑ins are located. If you see a VST or Direct X plug‑in listed under Registered Plug‑ins, but it can't be loaded, a VST effect may be in the wrong location or a Direct X effect may not be registered properly, as mentioned previously. Either situation requires finding where the plug‑in resides. Click on the plug‑in in the Registered Plug‑ins column, then look in the Filename field toward the lower left of the window. This shows the plug‑in's path. For Direct X effects, you can drag across the text to select it, copy it, and paste it into the 'Run' text field if you need to use the 'regsvr32' command mentioned earlier.

Management Strategies

How To Install Vst Plugins In Sonar Download

I always liked the idea of the Plug‑in Manager for creating custom plug‑in layouts but, with hundreds of plug‑ins, I never could get a grip of the best way to organise them. However, I found that there's an easy way to put together a custom layout.

1. With the Plug‑in Manager open, select a new Plug‑in Menu Layout.

2. Select all registered plug‑ins in the middle column (click on the top plug‑in and then shift‑click on the bottom one).

3. Click on 'Add Plug‑in'. This populates the right column with all plug‑ins.

4. Now create folders, for example by manufacturer, and start dragging the plug‑ins into folders as appropriate.

5. Save the layout, then continue refining it.

Note that you can add a plug‑in to more than one folder, so a Favourites folder containing your most used plug‑ins can be very helpful.

How To Install Vst Plugins In Sonar Free

Sample-rate Snags

Not all plug‑ins work well at higher sample rates, such as 96kHz, because the computational requirements are more than twice as heavy, compared to running at 44.1kHz. If you plan to record at 96kHz, create a project and load plug‑ins one at a time while passing audio through them. Keep track of which ones 'pass' (in other words, they pass audio properly) and which ones 'fail', because they cause audible crackling, or other issues.
