What Experts Say
…finally a brand new system that allows decoding polyphony from guitars with a standard jack and have a polyphonic MIDI signal without the use of special pickups or external synthesis modules . This technological wonder is called MIDI Guitar, produced by Jam Origin.
Hardware systems for generating MIDI output from guitars are often expensive, impractical and unreliable. Jam Origin’s revolutionary software alternative is none of these things.
There’s not many products that make Toby Pitman swear out loud in sheer amazement when he first uses them, but Jam Origin’s MIDI Guitar software is definitely one of them!
Frequently Asked Questions
I’m a total beginner... how do I get started?
MIDI Guitar is rocket science only inside. Its nicely wrapped and easily accessible.
- Download the free trial application.
- Run it and press “help” – an interactive setup tutorial will show up.
- Read and follow the instructions.
- Have fun with the built in presets, then start to make your own.
In case you never connected a guitar to a computer or iPad, you need to visit your local music store and ask for a “audio/guitar interface” – that’s the “cable” (more precisely it’s a small pre-amp in a box that sits between your guitar jack and computer/iPad). The interface gets the sound from your guitar and into the computer, and back out to speakers/headphones. Get one with an input level control knob.
How can I use this with my DAW/recording/music software?

Can i use the license on 2 or more computers?
Yes, as long as they are yours.
I bought it, but don’t understand how to apply the license file?
Follow these steps:
1. Download your license file from the order confirmation email. (Note, the link is not a webpage – depending on email client it might open a blank page. But there is a file there. With some email clients you should right click the link and “Save As..” or “Save Target As…” and the license file will download to your computer). Save this file somewhere safe, for example to your Documents folder. The name of the license file is something like “[your name].license”. You only need to save the license file. You can not (and should not) open it.
2. Open MIDI Guitar/MIDI Bass and when the interruption dialog appear (that happens every two minutes when you use MG, unless you play the Test Piano) click on the “Apply License” button. A file dialog will pop up. Now navigate to the file directory where you saved the license file and select the license file.
3. Done.
Please, once more... what is MIDI Guitar?
MIDI Guitar is a revolutionary piece of software that converts your guitars analog audio signal into a digital MIDI signal. This makes it possible to use your standard guitar exactly as you would use a MIDI keyboard or MIDI controller. Thus, you can now:
- play your favorite software synthesizers/samplers with your guitar, rather than a keyboard.
- record guitar notation directly in recording software (digital audio workstations).
- get an awesome guitar tone: MIDI can control real guitar effects as well: compressors EQs, amps, etc… There are a few such effects inside MIDI Guitar and they are really in a territory of their own when it comes to guitar effects.
MIDI Guitar is the worlds first low latency, polyphonic software solution, allowing you to play both chords and single notes with instant audio feedback.
Traditionally guitarists have had to seek out expensive and inconvenient hardware to be able to use a guitar as a MIDI controller. MIDI Guitar removes the need for any kind of specialized hardware beside a standard guitar interface to connect your guitar to your computer. Just connect your guitar and let MIDI Guitar do the rest.
MIDI Guitar comes in a few variants: as standalone Windows/Mac standalone applications that can host VST/AudioUnit instruments and effects or as VST/AudioUnit plugins that can be hosted inside your favorite Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software. There is also an app for iOS.
The best way is to try it out. Just run the MIDI Guitar application and click “help” – an interactive tutorial will pop up.
