A very short video of using MG3 beta in monophonic mode with the regular tracker. I usually work with hex mode but I was just having a bit of fun here. The tracking is so incredibly good — I can’t get over how well it performs.

that’s a nice, quick trip around town with the top down.
the ob-xd is very sweet and tasty but running it thru the neural dsp is the icing on the cake.
especially for those who like bacon in their icing.

Love that wammy action, I don’t think a keyboard player could replicate that.

The thing with bending is that string sustain dies too quickly…I’ve been experimenting with using infinite sustain plus a pedal for pitch bend lately but can’t quite get the fine-level control I want from it. I’ve tried mounting an iPhone on a guitar to use the touch screen as a pitch bend wheel also but it gets rather bulky interferes and with playability.
pitch bend via device has been unsatisfactory for me so far. on a keyboard the wheel returns to zero, most mountable controllers do not.
this has led to me breaking strings more than once, as i’m winding up a pitchbent string without remembering it’s bent down.
aside from some monster joysticks the only device with return to zero is a force sensitive resistor. two would be required, one for pitch up and the other for down.
sustain-wise, what i really want is a software version of the gamechanger plus pedal (audio sustain/freeze). this would really be effective it if was built into mg3, the current ‘midi’ sustain is nice, but capturing a blend of the complete mix of guitar and synth isn’t possible.

Ahh… Marco Parisi. he sold me on Equator2 with this amazing demo.
It’s one of my favorite plugin that works really well with MG3.
PS just to be clear, the expansion pack called " Expressive Virtuoso" is the part I fell in love with.
It’s what you hear in this demo, the rest of Equator2 is good but not as expressive as this expansion pack. The reason I point this out is because Roli’s website is a huge mess, very hard to find anything on it. Also the lack of a demo sucks big time (seems they will do anything to fail) but I found a way to test this plug… kinda… it’s available on Splice as a “Rent to Own” so for $12 a month you can “rent it” and if you don’t like it you can cancel your “rent” after 30 days.

I recently found a way to do it with two switches on the SoftStep 2 and some crafty MIDI programming. But the sensitivity is very tricky to deal with.
