Patches
MIDI Guitar 3 is a modular pedal board where you can wire together different kinds of guitar pedals called Modules. Such a combination of modules and wires is simply called a Patch.
There are three fundamentally different kinds of modules:
- Instruments: Synths and virtual instruments.
- Effects: Audio effects, such as compressors, amp sims or effect pedals.
- MIDI Machines: Transforming MIDI to MIDI, such as arpeggiators, sequencers and note filters.
Mini Patch
The simplest possible patch will only convert Guitar to MIDI.
This patch only produce MIDI so its for sending MIDI notes into a DAW or synthesizer. Typically when using a DAW you let the DAW host your synths and instruments, and simply use MIDI Guitar for extracting MIDI via this patch.
Introduction patch
The introduction patch will get you started.
In the Test Synth you will see the four knobs - four dimensions of sound to every note you play - Strike, Pressure, Brightness and Pitch/Glide. This is called multi-dimensional polyphonic expression (MPE) and is the backbone of most modern synthesizers.
MIDI Guitar 3 displays these MPE envelopes as you play. When playing chords it extracts individual MPE envelopes for each guitar note you play, though its only displayed for a single note.
