sonuus G2M NAMM09 -- Dan Lawson plays saxophone.

Dan Lawson of The Dan Lawson Band stopped by to see the G2M at the Winter NAMM '09 show. He was very impressed that he can now play saxophone on his guitar.

The sonuus G2M is a simple-to-use, highly effective, guitar-to-MIDI converter. It is "Universal" because it doesn't need a special pick-up mounted on your guitar, but instead simply connects to your guitar like any other effects pedal or tuner.

@BuddhaMaster84 We did a better video with Dan in Jan 2011. Look for the video: "sonuus G2M V2 NAMM11 -- Dan Lawson plays saxophone (V2)"

Yes, a MIDI/gameport on a PC will work fine. It's standard MIDI, so it will work with any MIDI input, including the gameport MIDI adapters.

It tracks note-on velocity, but not volume (i.e., changes in level while a note is being played). However, our new i2M musicport does track the level (envelope) of the signal.

Here is a live performance I did using the G2M with a Line 6 HD500 (Patches B3-Sax-HD500 Guitar) --- Paste ths to youtube: KingGypsy/Matt Rainey "Born to Sing the Blues"

I can hear it in 2020 "nobody bends the sax like RobbyMc Bobby"

[RuiCarinhoso]

Could it be pluged directly to a pc with midi/gameport?

[jimmyss75]

Amazing but does it track volume too or even has a Yamaha breathcontroller input jack?

[kentarobbb]

MIDI !

@yohppoy You are correct, only one note at a time. For 99% of people, 99% of the time this is not a limitation because it's exactly what you want to do: play solos, fills with naturally monophonic instruments (sax, cello, etc). Arpeggios are ok too, since only 1 note at a time.
