[sdiy] req : midi guitar info

[harry]

Do a google search for "Troubador Tech" and look there... they have a
LOT
of good info on all the commercially available units (ever made..)

You will need a hex pickup to do midi guitar. Roland makes one. I used
the
pickup from the G-Vox guitar to computer system. Last year Guitar Center

blew them all out for $39 for the system... I used the pickup and
trashed the rest.

There is a LOT of delay in a guitar to ANYTHING conversion... because
the lowest
guitar string takes 12ms for a full cycle (and it might take several
cycles to decide on
a pitch).  Try a commercial unit before you bother to try and build one
yourself.
