Shadow Guitar to MIDI Converter System
You can use the Shadow Quick Mount Guitar to Midi Converter
System with electric or acoustic steel string guitars as a MIDI controller with
any MIDI synthesizer or sound with no programming or complex setup. It also
provides access to any sequencer or computer with MIDI software for composing or
printing sheet music. Mounts in seconds to the strap button and requires no
modification or damage to the instrument. How it works: The analog signals of
the strings are converted into electrical signals by the hex pickup. Then the
analog circuitry buffers the signal and filters out the harmonics for digital
pitch analysis. After filtering, the microprocessor determines the pitch played
by measuring the time of one sinus vibration (half of the cycle) that is the
shortest part of the note. This allows the SH 075 to make a positive analysis in
a MAXIMUM of 2.5 vibrations. Far superior to products that can take up to 7
vibrations for analysis. As soon as the pitch is confirmed, the microprocessor
instantly sends the information as a standard MIDI message (note and velocity)
to any MIDI synthesizer, sequencer or computer.
