MIDI Guitar 2 is expected in the next few days, after two years of development. JamOrigin has greatly reduced latency,
improved note tracking and sensitivity, so that you can control with higher accuracy your MIDI instruments from any
type of electric guitar.

MIDI Guitar 2 can now detect every note, independently from your playing techniques: hammer-on, pull-off, mute… and
dynamics, you can even adjust on the GUI velocity gain, tone and curve.

JamOrigin also simplified the tracking setup, with a single noise gate option that only effects when you don’t play; the
developer recommends you disable this feature when playing fast legato runs so that the software can detect all the notes.



The GUI has also been revamped, with added Cycle of Fifths, the three velocity controls mentioned above, an improved
polyphonic tuner, guitar cab simulations (with the ability to load your own cab impulse responses), a reverb and
interactive help.

JamOrigin adds that because the detection system is much more sensitive, some of you may experience issues, specially
if you use MIDI Guitar 2 with not so velocity sensitive synths. Also beware of wrong note triggering.

Feature Summary:

- It is much more sensitive than version 1, and even in the fastest legato runs it is unlikely to ever miss a note
- There are no longer any tracking setup options. It just works
- The velocity response is much greatly improved and it does indeed seem to translate into an improved feel
- Tracking is more robust across various kind of guitars and playing styles. Indeed the same technology will be soon
powering software for other instruments (bass and violin are first in line).
- Latency was reduced, especially for the monophonic setting and generally on hollow body and half-acoustic guitars

MIDI Guitar 2 will be free to users of v1.
License for the standalone and plug-in versions for Mac OS X and Windows is available for $99.95

Note that bass and violin versions will also be upgraded later on.

Downloaded the trial version today and tested it out. BIG improvement in midi tracking....a LOT less lost notes.

The BAD news is that the old R2R license file doesn't work. (big surprise, huh?)

Patiently awaiting the medicine for this one.
