What is Guitar Synth?

empowers your electric guitar to control either your sound card's synthesizer or an external synthesizer in real time.

In depth

A closer look at Guitar Synth

Unlike a hardware guitar synthesizer, Guitar Synth does not require special guitar pickups. Simply plug your guitar into the microphone input of your sound card using a 0.25" (5.25mm) audio adapter available from electronics and audio shops.

Guitar Synth converts the audio signal from your guitar to MIDI, so you can hear beautiful piano chords or whatever instruments your synthesizer supports. Chord and notes are displayed as they are played. The program can transpose or even help you tune your guitar.

The program is fully polyphonic (up to 6 simultaneous notes). It uses a "harmonic suppresser" to distinguish between notes and harmonics. Guitar Synth records, plays and saves files in its own internal format. It features "reverb", "chorus", "pan", and "aux" controls. The program can also be used with a sequencer.

Alternately, you can control the synthesizer using your voice, a CD or other audio input. A "mono mode" is provided for voice and monophonic instrument sampling.
