Hi JamO and team,
First, thank you for the massive architectural leap in MIDI Guitar 3! The modular framework and native Apple Silicon VST3 performance inside Gig Performer are outstanding.
I am using MG3 to track a live acoustic tenor saxophone. I’ve locked the plugin to MIDI Legacy Mode (Channel 1, Pitch Glide at 0, Strike sensitivity minimized) to feed a monophonic woodwind synth patch.
The Issue:
Even when running purely monophonically, the core tracking engine appears to still apply its underlying “guitar fretboard string-prediction math” to the audio signal. As a saxophone note swells in volume, the natural shifts in the reed’s acoustic harmonic structure cross internal thresholds, causing the engine to interpret the shift as crossing a virtual guitar string.
This causes the plugin to fire off a new copy/re-trigger of the exact same MIDI note mid-breath, even though the pitch hasn’t changed and velocity remains static. MIDI Guitar 2 handled these monophonic volume swells seamlessly without these harmonic re-attacks.
Feature Request:
Could we get a dedicated, pure monophonic tracking mode or module that completely disables the multi-string string-prediction engine? Essentially, an algorithm optimized purely for continuous wind/bowed inputs that calculates a single, absolute pitch period and ignores cross-string threshold hand-offs .
Thanks for considering this for a future beta build!
