MOD MIDI pedals vs. Jam Origins' MIDI Guitar 2

[Roachmanfwa]

Hi, there. I’m thinking of buying the software MIDI Guitar 2/MIDI Bass to gain access to keyboard/synth patches that are polyphonic to incorporate into the music I’m playing, while using my Dwarf for all non-synth sounds.

My question is this: is there a way to access the MIDI patches that are in my Dwarf using my bass guitar? I haven’t been able to discover a way to answer that question with a “yes”. If anyone can help me with that, I’d appreciate it.

Hi @Roachmanfwa
I don’t understand the question… You don’t want to use the dwarf for polyphonic sounds but still you want to know if it is possible ?

is there a way to access the MIDI patches that are in my Dwarf using my bass guitar?

Have you tried the Cardinal Mini plugin ?

DISTRHO - Cardinal Mini

Hi everyone, starting this topic to discuss a plugin I am pushing to beta - Cardinal Mini. It is very much the same as main Cardinal DISTRHO - Cardinal but with only a few selected modules and integrated/embed GUI directly on the MOD web interface. Still to be considered beta, specially since it is the 2nd plugin using web-assembly for the GUI that gets pushed to the plugin store (first one being Wolf Shaper). By only having a few selected modules, in theory things will be more stable as th…

What do you mean with “access the MIDI patches” ?

Sorry, @Rom - I DO want to use the Dwarf polyphonically. What I’d actually like to do is output sound from both MIDI and analog, sometimes simultaneously. I look at the Guitar Synth pedalboards and frankly, I have trouble making sense of the workflow and how to create my own pedalboard to do what I’d like to do.

The Synth Pedalboards - MOD Audio website that the MOD Team has made are only monophonic because the plugin that convert audio to CV is monophonic, and this plugin is mono because CV is mono.
And it doesn’t convert you audio signal to midi, to convert it to a voltage.

To my knowledge there is only a single plugin that can convert your audio signal to midi, this is a beta plugin (you have to allow beta plugin in your Dwarf’s Web interface) called gxtuner from @brummer. Not sure it is polyphonic though…
This thread talk about this recent midi addition to the plugin : Audio to Midi - #9 by brummer

There’s another option with CV and Cardinal Mini :

Guitar to MIDI without external hardware

With Cardinal Mini now in beta, that might be easier to handle vs the custom blocks with CV mappings and should have less latency in the end too. See DISTRHO - Cardinal Mini for the cardinal-mini discussion I have not tried this, but the idea is to just set up something like this: [image]
