What is the Midi Guitar you play & how does it work?

The midi guitar is a midi controller in the form of a guitar. Just as a keyboard can control other midi devises, this guitar can also control other midi devises. For example, I can connect a keyboard or a keyboard module, such as the Roland GR-55 (a midi devise) to the guitar via a 12-pin cable. This will allow me to access the sounds on the keyboard or other midi devices such as the GR-55 that has lots of sounds loaded in the banks of the device. Sounds such as guitar, drums, strings, piano, trumpets, sax, violin, flute, voices, and many others. So, the guitar can play these sounds at the same time the guitar is playing. This means you can play the guitar while layering a Ha ond B-3 organ over the guitar. If you have another midi keyboard handy you can connect to that as well and set the sound for Grand piano. Then you can play guitar, Hamond B-3 organ, and grand piano all at once. Talk about a fat sound. The guitar can become a whole rhythm section. If the guitarist is proficient, they can sound just like any other instrument if played as that instrument.
