Jan, not sure if this should be here or the G2 FAQ - you decide.

I noticed last year, when scanning the forum after I received my G2 Engine, that there appears to be a misconception that the G2 can't process the 6 guitar strings on 6 different midi channels.

I created a simple solution, but never posted it here.

Some questions on the midiguitar forum just reminded me, so I post it now.

Example:

Strings 1 - 6 = chan 1 - 6.

1 - 4 to slot A - D.

Use NoteZone (put in FX section) to transmit 5 to slot A and 6 to slot B. Slot A now has string 1 and 5, slot B 2 and 6.

If you want to keep processing completely separate for each string in slots A and B, use note ranges.

I'll leave it to you or anyone having an opinion ...

This is a clever trick! Will remember it I hope when the issue comes up again, thanks Udo.

edit: I changed my mind, and moved this to the FAQ section, otherwise I'll never find it again Wink I left a link at the original location.

post your solution please (prf2).

if this is truly working (my 2 G2's are at a different location so I cannot test it out), and you do not get trigger interruptions, than this is golden.

Govn'r Silver (you must be a donkey and not an elephant, am I right), who is Bob? Do you mean Rob? Cool

That is nice solution.

I am not a good guitar player so I have to ask, would it be a problem if bending string 1 or 2 also changed pitch of string 5 or 6?

Yo Dasz... I mean the user "Bob The Dog" who asked way back whether the G2 was suitable for MIDI guitar, then said it can't take more than 4 MIDI channels, thus prompting Udo's response more than a year later Wink. I think his name is Andy.

Hi,

I'm back, been sunning myself in India again, only lost 1 stone in weight this time, must be getting used to it!

I will give this idea a go and see what happens.

Cheers

Andy

I just read this thread again, I am pretty sure this will not work as g2ian states the string bending is going to muck things up.
