For Poly mode, you can follow the same procedure as Mono mode but then you may need to select the desired MIDI channel for an Instrument track (although usually the default works anyway).This lets you choose individual MIDI channels as Instrument track inputs. To use your guitar in Mono mode, check Split Channels and make sure All MIDI channels are selected (Fig.To add your MIDI guitar controller, choose Studio One > Options > External Devices tab, and then click Add…įigure 1: Check “Split Channels” if you plan to use a MIDI guitar in mono mode.Here’s how to set up for both options in Studio One. In terms of playing, Poly mode works fine for pads and rhythm guitar, while Mono mode is best for solos, or when you want different strings to trigger different sounds (e.g., the bottom two strings trigger bass synths, and the upper four a synth pad).
The main advantage of Poly mode is you need only one sound generator instead of a multi-timbral instrument, or a stack of six synths. Mono mode’s main advantage is you can bend notes on individual strings and not bend other strings. With Mono mode, each string generates data over its own channel-typically channel 1 for the high E, channel 2 for B, channel 3 for G, and so on. With Poly mode, all data played on all strings appears over one MIDI channel. MIDI guitars usually offer Poly or Mono mode operation. In any case, you’ll want to set up your MIDI guitar for best results in Studio One-here’s how. If you want a true guitar feel, with attributes like actual string-bending, there are MIDI retrofits like Fishman’s clever TriplePlay, and Roland’s GR-55 guitar synthesizer. So, think of them as alternate controllers that take advantage of your guitar-playing muscle memory. The tradeoff is that they’re not actual guitars, which is why they track well. Either one has more consistent tracking than MIDI guitar retrofits, and no detectable latency.
And Jamstik, although it started as a learn-to-play guitar product for the Mac, can also serve as a MIDI guitar controller. Admittedly, the YRG1000 looks like it escaped from Guitar Hero to seek a better life, but even my guitar-playing “tubes and Telecasters forever!” compatriots are shocked by how well it works. I was never a big fan of MIDI guitar, but that changed when I discovered two guitar-like controllers-the YRG1000 You Rock Guitar and Zivix Jamstik.
