The Yamaha G50 Guitar / MIDI Converter

If you’re a MOTIF owner and a guitar player it’s time to tap into your full creative potential with a product that has been around awhile and you might not even known it existed. Let me introduce you, perhaps for the first time, to the Yamaha G50 MIDI Guitar Converter. It will open up a new world of expressive musical possibilities.

I myself a guitar player get asked often from many other guitar players…”Why doesn’t anyone make a really good Guitar/MIDI converter?” Well, I’m here to let you know, Yamaha does!

* Exceptionally fast tracking of pitch to MIDI conversion & incredible responsiveness.
* You can play your speedy lead licks & even intricate finger picking - the G50 will track it all.
* Tracks notes, pitch, picking, position, string bends (yes, string bends), & envelope.
* You can also assign a different voice on each string. Try that with just a regular guitar!

The MOTIF Factor -
Add the power of MOTIF to your Guitar playing!

Using the G50 with a Motif or Motif ES will compliment the advanced articulations found in many of the sounds of the Motif series. Also, for convenience and portability, adding a G50 in with a MOTIF-RACK would create the perfect marriage for live performance. Whether it’s playing voices, or using Performances and triggering arpeggiations with a strike of the guitar strings, these two make an awesome combination. As a matter of fact, many of the arpeggiations you hear on the Motif Series keyboards were made using the G50 with a G1D.

Motif-Rack Features

* Same great quality sounds as original Motif series keyboards
* 2 Plug-in slots to expand your synthesis options
* Awesome Motif effects w/ newly designed reverb algorithm, 4 insert effects, and 3-band EQ
