Demo of Sonuus G2M with Sooper Looper and Loomer Aspect

Lots of firsts for me.
This is my first time editing video, my first time using my sonuus g2m guitar to midi converter, my first time using Sooper Looper to record a soft synth, my first time editing a patch in Aspect... the list goes on and on.

My G2M Review: If you like instruments other than guitar and don't play keyboard, buy one now. If you're like me and know enough keyboard to get by, it's kind of cool but definitely can't replace a keyboard because it's not polyphonic and it has some latency and triggering issues.

it's great fun to play with. The pitch bending allows for a lot of expression. It's much more natural than using the pitch bend wheel or stick on a keyboard or a midi foot controller. Also, it allows you use wild effects that would be impossible using standard guitar effects pedals. In the electric piano patch I made for this, pitch bending bends the pitch, increases volume, sweeps a resonant filter, and increases the rate of an LFO that is modulating the pitch and volume.

The latency issue definitely shows when using a looper -- I tried to focus on my metronome (the earpiece) but I ended up playing to the drums which multiplies the latency. It's especially obvious in the later overdubs with the electric piano. Next time I'll turn the track way down when recording so that my metronome is louder than the drums but I wanted to make sure both the guitar sound and the synth sounds were clear in the recording so I had to turn up the drums.

Finally, I had problems playing legato and sliding. Sliding is detected as a pitch bend so it can give you very odd results. When playing legato or tremelo picking, the synth got triggered at odd times too. When alternate picking, it picked up every note (but you have to be careful to mute when moving between strings).

I've had a couple questions, apparently this needs more explanation than I gave it. So here's how it works:

The G2M converts the sound coming out of my guitar into a signal that electronic instruments (like keyboards, for example) can work with. This lets me act like I have an entire orchestra in my apartment. Here I'm using it to control a synthesizer built into my computer (Aspect), then I am using a specialized recording tool (sopper looper) to repeatedly record so that it sounds like a band

hi, this product i can use for switch channel amp with my pod???

interesting composition, very creative- thanks for sharing! I find that the G2M's latency is bad for bass, and drums are too temperamental to control, but it works very well with tones that have a gradual attack. More guitarists should try the G2M, it is really fun and not just a gimmick.

i made som sooperlooper tutorials. Watch them in my channel.

Cool. Just having access to bass is worth it for me

If you are using a synth for the pads, you can make a patch to play, say, the note plus notes a fifth and an octave above it to fill it out. Also you can set the release time to be huge so the pad chords connect to each other.

I want to get one of these, thanks for sharing man

it's off tempo.
