Bass working with MG3 Hex and GK-5B setup

BETA TESTING
1

Ok, so with this last .66 beta drop, I noticed that you can roll down the string settings to bass ranges in MG3 Hex. Since I have my guitar working with a GK-5 pickup, 13pin converter box and a Separate Strings breakout cable, I went and found a GK-5B on Reverb to test to see if it works. And it does! There is more latency (17ms vs 5-6ms on the guitar) and it only works on the EADG strings. Although you can set it to a low B, it won’t track that low. But I just happy to have an actual MIDI bass that tracks. Again, thanks to @JamO for this sorcery software he has created. Hopefully he can look to get the latency down a bit more and even possibly read the low B string. Here’s hoping! :slight_smile:

Great to hear!

I was under impression it would go all way to B0. This should be an easy fix for next update.

Excellent, I did not realise you can get MG3 Hex down that low! I’ll give this a whizz later.

I do find Midi Bass restricting with only duophony — more chordal style of bass playing, ringing notes on strings just do not cut it in Midi Bass.

Hi there, I just logged in to see if there is a way to get MidiGuitar2 to allow the low C string in tuning options for my Baritone guitar tuned to open C…the other 5 strings all work fine. Am I right in thinking that MG3 will allow this or is there a way for MG2 to recognise it? Cheers, Anthony McGrath

The great thing with using MG3 Hex with bass is the duophonic limitation is not there. You can play all notes at once.

Absolutely, brilliant!

Wait! If the low B is possible in Hex that easily, could it be done in regular MB as well? I’m dying to be able to use my 5-string without running it through a pitch shifter first.
