Jamstik Midi controller

This looks super dope for any guitarist who uses a Midi controller for other instruments to record with. Just randomly stumbled on the video and first time seeing it.

Maybe a little pricy idk but definitely cool and would beat programming by a mile.

Seems cool, I bought the Fishman TriplePlay a few years ago. Similar concept by mounting a little midi pickup bar between the bridge and bridge pickup. But it never tracked well, it was more frustrating than useful. I was very disappointed.

Looks like they have an updated version so maybe it’s improved or maybe I was doing it wrong.

This would be even better, assuming it works. Much more reasonable attaching it and being able to remove it from your existing guitar vs spending $1k+ on the jamstik.

I've used the Roland GK and guitar synths for years. I think you're better off with the Roland system; if you want a guitar synth, look at the SY-300 - you don't need a GK pickup; if you want more capabilities for guitar / stringed instruments the SY-1000 is worth a look, and you'll need a GK-3 pickup.

If you want to do guitar controlled synths, that would be the new GK-5 pickup and GM-800 - which will give you more keys, synths, and sounds similar to a keyboard based synth.

I own the SY-300 and SY-1000; since I have synths, organs, pianos, etc., I just use keyboards, so the GK-5 + GM-800 aren't needed.

and now with MPE keyboards and software, I really don't need a guitar for expressiveness, as I have keyboards that can do that now...and expect more keyboards to support MPE, poly aftertouch, etc.
