Re: after the GeoShred thread iOS app, "MIDI Guitar", iOS vi

Interesting that we should be discussing Jam Origin.
They sent me a link to a new demo this evening..MIDI Guitar 2

 For the life of me, I can't understand why people think these glitchy and volocity-rounded-up notes are at all acceptable.It sounds like very amateur efforts to me, and a waste of electricity, and it's interesting that none of the Jam Origin team claim to be guitarists... (YOU DO NEED TO BE GUITASRISTS ! )  not least to understand what guitarists need.. 

Compared to Fishman 3play,  Fishman wins hands down IMO.   Of course, I understand that Jam Origin is cheap and not pretending to be 3play.  
Again, personally, and for me, results matter, and unusable results are just wasted time and effort.
I appreciate how far they've got deriving poly data from a jack lead, and that is in itself laudable and a great achievement, but why would anyone want to play this?  
Godin or Fishman or Roland still do better IMO, and hex still seems to be best way to derive sensible velocity, separation, and pitch from a string, or four, or six, or seven.

Imagine the excellent Burr Johnson playing his great drum licks on  Jam Origin, and  sending on chanell 10 to an expander in GM mode...(or to Native instruments or Arturia drums over USB)   Not possible. (well maybe possible, but I certainly wouldn't want to listen to it)
