Starting with MIDI Guitar 3 - Things you need to know (part 2)

[@starsandguitars2050]

This was just fantastic. Thank you.

[@lofileif]

Thank YOU! 🙏🙏🙏

[@thechiefmusician9802]

This was the best information for any midi guitar instrument I have ever seen! Thank you very much....Can you do a live video? Hands on!

[@lofileif]

Thank you! Much appreciated. 🙏🙏🙏 What did you have in mind? Q & A?

[@janneckchristiansen2778]

Of course we watched the whole thing through!! Your videos are GOLD!! 🙏

[@lofileif]

Thank you so much. I was thinking of offering some badge or something for anyone with the patience, but I never got around to it. 😄

[@waxtin48]

Your knowledge in MIDI et al is incredible . I can listen to you all day. wow

[@lofileif]

You are too kind. 🙏 I am happy you find it useful. Thank you.

[@lspyderp]

Wow, I’m impressed that your able to touch on setting info that applies to all aspects of software in general. I’ve often wondered why the engineers who created these software have the actual player in mind when creating these things. Are they even players themselves? And if they are why arent they explaining how this shit works on the player level, the need to know stuff! You have done and are doing an excellent job at this , so thanks alot !

[@lofileif]

Thanks a lot. 🙏 I guess this is one of those happy collabs where the developer (JamOrigin - not me) produced software that even I (as a player) can both use and perhaps even explain how to use. I have had the privilege to be able to also provide my point of view along the way, as this project has taken shape, and that might also be helpful of course. Either way, I am glad you find it informative, and I hope you find the software inspirational and exciting. 👍

[@MikleKey]

Thank you so much Torleif for your great information!!!

[@lofileif]

Hey, thanks 🙏 (And you got my name right 😀🤝)

[@tomwatson283]

Excellent video. Priceless information. More than easy explanation.

[@lofileif]

Thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏

[@goldenknighthawk]

I am a beginner at Midiguitar. It's so much to learn that it got my head fried. Thanks for all the information. Without videos like this I don't know where I would be. Keep on educating us professor ..!

[@lofileif]

Thanks man! I’ll keep it up for as long as the positives outweighs the negatives! 😀👍

[@fgerv]

Thank you for spending time on SWAM. Like how you mentioned the SWAM preset and why. I am sure there are more tricks to sounding more realistic like you. Maybe a video for keyboard sounds? I am on iOS. I would think it would be similar on Mac.

[@lofileif]

I am not sure I understand. Do you want your guitar to sound like a Keyboard? You don't want the dynamic profile of the string envelope?

[@PASHKULI]

Glad to be a customer to such a knowledgeable engineer! Def. will upgrade to MIDI Guitar\Bass 3.

[@lofileif]

That sounds awesome. Glad you feel that way! 😀👍

[@MrGoggler]

Thank you so much for your great information! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I hope to hear more from you and wait with great anticipation for your next videos! LoFiLeif really is one of my top ten favourite KZbin channels.

[@lofileif]

Thank you so much. Yeah, I'll try and keep doing videos as long as there is some interest and I have something interesting to say. 😀🙏🙏🙏

[@XeonX__ASMR__METAL-experiments]

THANK YOU

[@lofileif]

Hey! Thank YOU 👈🙏

[@ehleroo]

13:50 Watching you use a pointy guitar to MIDI-trigger a Tele sample library just added another dimension to how amazing MG3 is going to be. How does it feel?

[@lofileif]

I am playing that exact combo right now, and I can't say it feels especially weird. I just went from a Strat to a nylon to this. I am kind of used to my guitars, and I have never owned anything Fender, so I go with what I know. 😀 But sure, the whole experience is still amazing. Every day. 👍

[@XandetheXande]

HELP 😢 Hello! I have a boss katana and I'm able to use it's speakers with softwares like guitar rig and amplitube, but I can't use it with Guitar Midi. Can anyone please tell me how to connect a digital amp like the katana. How is the routing (input/output/device/channel, etc)? Please 😢😢😢😢

[@lofileif]

Hey there! This is really just a private channel, and it is not always I can assist with all the necessary advice. But can I recommend tou to ask this question on the MIDI Guitar forum instead? jamosapien.com There are a lot more users there, and it makes it easier for everybody if we can help out as a collective. 👍

[@samuelallenmusic]

So helpful!!!! Thanks bro

[@lofileif]

Thanks! I am glad some of the stuff I am about to forget may come to use for someone else too, for a little while. 😀👍

[@GS-uy4xo]

Thank you again for sharing this critical information - your explanations are clear and the demonstrations are fantastic! Do you know when there will be a beta for iOS?

[@lofileif]

Thank you so much. No, unfortunately. I have no idea when the iOS version is coming. 🤷‍♂️ Keep updated on the JamOrigin beta page: www.jamorigin.com/beta/

[@MrTL99]

Very well explanation. When is MIDI Guitar 3 be available?

[@lofileif]

Thank you! 🙏 Well, today if you want to take part in the beta trial. (psst. There is no need to participate actively. You can download the trial, and just try it out for yourself too. 🤫) Check in the Downloads section on this page: www.jamorigin.com/beta/

[@ivaniusmetal]

Thanks for the video! I have a question, I have been using MIDI Guitar 2 on my iPad for quite a few years. Yesterday, I decided to try the Desktop version thinking the performance was going to be the same as on my iPad. To my surprise, Windows version is waaay ahead of the iOS version (in terms of accuracy, speed, artifacts, etc). Is this because the iPad version has not been updated for like 6 years? or by default, I should not expect that version to be as good as Windows or Mac versions?

[@lofileif]

Hi! I would probably expect the desktop versions to keep being superior to any iOS version. Mostly it is a CPU thing, but as both tablets and iPhones are getting more powerful, I can't say for sure. You'll have to wait and see, I guess. But yes, up until now the desktop versions absolutely have been on another level. But you know that you can try the next version too (for desktop computers) ? MIDI Guitar 3. just go to the beta page (Downloads section and pick the one for your platform) www.jamorigin.com/beta/

[@PeterHarket]

👏

[@王鹏-f3t]

midi out Can't connect to the virtual midi interface? For example loopBe30, LoopBe30 is an internal MIDI device for transferring MIDI data between computer programs.

[@lofileif]

I don't have a PC, and I don't use LoopBe30, so I can't say with any certainty what works and what doesn't, I am afraid. But you can post this as a question on the MIDI Guitar forum (where the developer also has a chance of weighing in). There are a lot of PC users there who will know more about this too. 👍 jamosapien.com

[@luismartin9971]

Muy interesante !!!. Gracias por aportar mucho al gran mundo midi. Un mundo con infinitas posibilidades.

[@lofileif]

Thank you! There are indeed a lot of possibilities opening up to us with this kind of software. 😀👍

[@JanEilertsen-q3d]

Thank YOU, Leif ! Fantastic information. I have only known about MIDI Guitar 2 & 3 for about a week now, and have struggled, but your videos are helping a lot! One little criticism: you voice narration is too low compared to your music clips - I have to turn my volume up and down. I have a few beginner questions: It seems I am limited to 3 chains? If I would like to layer several instruments and have an easy way to turn them on and off in different combinations, it is easy to put them in separate chains and use the big on/off button. But then I am limited to the 3 chains. Is there another way to do it? Best regards, Jan

[@lofileif]

Thanks Jan! Yeah, I am aware of the volume differences. I noticed them when going through the timestamping. But hey, I’ve done way worse than this. I’ll try to do better going forward. If you need more than three chains, I suggest you use a DAW (MG3 is also a plugin), or a plugin host like Gigperformer. I do that for whenever I feel i must have a ton of synths or instruments at my fingertips. You can also use a pluginhost like Kushviews Element (free) on a chain, but it usually becomes a CPU issue eventually. Better to host stuff externally for now.

[@JanEilertsen-q3d]

@@lofileif Thanks for your answer! I have one more little question regarding latency: I have tried minimizing the buffer size even to 64, and I still feel the latency, if I try to play a fast rhythmical pattern (it doesn't bother me playing slow dreamy chords). Is there any wau to minimize this latency? I am using an oldish Mac Mini M1 - will a new, "stronger" M4 etc. improve this giving shorter latency ?

[@lofileif]

@user-cc9gn5od5f No, an M1 is completely sufficient. Any tracking gains below 64 are infinitesimal. I use 128 and have no issues, but that is because I have played with this kind of latency for a couple of years. After a while you don’t think about it. It is there, but you just don’t think about it. Practice with your virtual instruments loaded. Play the output, never mind the input.

[@dietcoke8114]

is there a free version (trial for a minute)like the previous one? i would like to try it

[@lofileif]

Sure! Look under DOWNLOADS: www.jamorigin.com/beta/

[@mhenkka]

Tack Leif!

[@lofileif]

Tack själv! 🙏

[@vincentdequiram1102]

Please make an AUv3 for iOS. I will buy it immediately.

[@lofileif]

It is in the making, but it is much better if you guys let the developer know as well. (I am just a video creator. ) He needs all the appreciation he can get to keep moving. So a kind word on the MIDI Guitar Forum would be nice. 🙏 jamosapien.com

[@fgerv]

Beta released

[@vincentdequiram1102]

@ Thank you. This is fantastic. Tank you ♥️

[@Svartmerir]

Lysande, tack Leif! ❤

[@lofileif]

Stort Tack 🙏

[@musicallyunpluggedmanish9023]

Is it also available for the IPAD yet ??

[@lofileif]

Not yet, but it shouldn't be long now. 👍

[@musicallyunpluggedmanish9023]

@ wow, thanks I have a couple of questions for you. I have been trying the mg2 on my iPad with a use case to use it within Loopy pro to change effects and play different instruments. 1) Which one of the upgrades do I need to buy ? 2) Also I have an xtone pro connected to my iPad while I can select the input I wasn’t able to select the output as xtone it showed only speaker1/speaker 2

[@lofileif]

@@musicallyunpluggedmanish9023 I wish I had even half of all the software people are asking about, but unfortunately I can’t afford to buy everything. I am not using Loopy Pro or Xtone, but I am pretty sure I seen threads about both of them in the MIDI Guitar forum. Maybe if you ask there? jamosapien.com About the next version of MG3 for iOS, I think it will be a new purchase and not an upgrade. The upgrade was just for the desktop version of MG2 to MG3.

[@musicallyunpluggedmanish9023]

@@lofileif when I go to buy I see two options to buy which one does what and which one will I need to be able to use it with loopy pro as the host. Thanks for the help

[@lofileif]

Are you talking about MG2 for iOS?

[@XandetheXande]

Please teach us how to adjust guitar midi with a real guitar (not a midi guitar).

[@lofileif]

I don't own a MIDI Guitar. I only use real guitars. "MIDI Guitar 3" is a software solution. Look at the first video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpCyhoGBma54aJI

[@cmorda]

is there a "getting started" for dummies video?

[@lofileif]

I usually refer to this playlist including starting with the two-part "Starting with MIDI Guitar 3" (1 & 2), and then taking on the software piecemeal , one video at a time: kzbin.info/aero/PL16hx1uHz4KGftYcNGQUdFDdaqyWrV3-O&si=S0QtObEFRnr9vDcu

@@lofileif When I go to add a license since i bought midi guitar after 2012 i'm emailed a code but it either doesn't accept or there isn't anywhere to enter it. i also wrote to retrieve my license for version 2 and wrote 4 days ago and haven't received my license. any help would be appreciated. edit: not sure what happened but the license got applied after another try!

[@lofileif]

@cmorda This is not a thing I can help you with, I am afraid. Post on the MIDI Guitar forum, and the developer himself should be able to help you. jamosapien.com
