Well, I bought a used USB MIDI controller with 61 keys a few years ago. Was only € 20 and came with the USB cable. This would be all you need if you wanted to input notes with a keyboard. If you want to use guitar it's a bit more complicated. I heard good things about this guitar MIDI software. If you want to go for hardware you would need to put a hex pickup on your guitar and get something like a Roland GR/BOSS SY/Axon AX or the Fishman Triple Play.

At that price point it's better off to buy a midi controller rather than a guitar shaped midi. If you want a real guitar that can also be a midi controller go for Jamstik. Sure it's $999, but it's a fully functional electric guitar with a midi controller.

I am the proud owner of 2 YRG-1000's which i use exclusively as a guitar midi controller. The tracking is great and the latency is almost non existent. They have a whammy bar for bends, a "slide" funtion and a "tap" function that makes the fretboard touch-sensitive allowing you to play 2 handed on the fretboard. and all for less than 200EUR. If this Aeroband midi guitar had these functions (which im pretty sure they dont) i would actually buy it.

This is what you get when you have people who aren't musicians develop an "instrument" for musicians. They know nothing about their targeted audience so they please nobody. Years ago I bought a Fishman TriplePlay guitar/midi pickup (larger version) and it works amazing. Put it on any real guitar and you send midi and play any synth/samples you want. Chords, leads, pads, bass... The Fishman is about $430 which is almost the same price as this Aeroband thing but the Fishman actually works great on a real guitar.

Cause it makes so many musicians laugh. But I think its a very expensive joke. You can get a 1A Harley Benton Guitar for this money. Cool videos! Keep on !

MIDI Guitar 3 is in Beta, but it works well based on the YT demos. It works with any real guitar's regular 1/4 inch audio output. There is no need for a hex pickup. It is MPE capable. So it can map almost any parameter to any controller (switch, pedal, breath, etc.). MPE makes it almost plug and play with any MPE capable synth and / or sampler, hardware or software. And of course it will work with any MIDI mode 4 (Omni Off, Mono On) synths from the past. You can also use it with any target which doesn't have either MPE or Mode 4 capability as long as you don't do individual string bending in a chord. So if you don't bend notes on a piano sound, for example, it will track wonderfully. It is not flawless. But it does a better job of tracking without ghost notes than my Fishman Triple Play which was my go to standard for the last seven years. So if you want a studio tool that lets you play any instrument on a guitar, I'd check it out.

I'm very glad your making this video.

I love my Jamstick Studio. Both as a midi guitar and as a regular standalone guitar. Of course tracking is not perfect on midi, but you can always clean it up on your daw if you playing simple melodies. Don't expect it to track flying sweeps and complex chords changing rapidly because it won't. No midi guitar will (as of 2024). Jamstick is 1000x better than this one you showed though. They used to have a possibly crappy one too (Jamstick 7), supposed to be for training. But ignoring that one, both the Jamstick Studio and Jamstick Classic are real, legit guitars that also do midi. You should do a review on one of them!

Love your honesty ,Great video n I’m sure some people will still buy this hand- held Kazoo 🤘🎸

Another interesting option is Jam Origin´s Midi Guitar 2 (hopefully, soon 3). It is a software which turns the guitar into a MIDI controller, similar to the Fishman unit, with different limitations. However, you can use it with ANY guitar.

I think this is a compliment to your honest, influencer status. People just want it because you talk about it - good or bad. Cheers to you Henning, I always enjoy your videos and approach.

It’s purely midi…. Can’t work with your amp

The aeroband people had to have dug up the thing from the 80s that was THE EXACT SAME THING. I can't find the model because every time you search for guitar-shaped synth you get SynthAxe, and guitar-shaped keyboard yields Keytars for miles. But in the 80s, we had this little plastic Yamaha (edit: maybe Casio) thing that had exactly the same setup as the aeroband guitar - steel strings just over the picking area, with a molded rubber fretboard that picked up your fretted positions as 'keys' that were then sounded by plucking the little string section.

“Now cheaper and as useless as it was before”. Best follow up review ever. My wife and I were rolling at the dinner table watching this. Love you man!

11:40 - I love what you did here! It's as if the ride cymbal is out of tune. I've never felt this before!

After seeing the previous video about this whatever it is, the story was done for me and I cannot imagine that this will ever be some kind of spectacular.

That unboxing music is a spiral into insanity. Bravo!

They hire you because you are a gem ❤❤❤❤💎

Have you tried putting it through a garden shredder see if it make a better sound that way?

I’m just glad you got paid sir. If’n I wanted midi i’d go for the Gk-2 midi widget. I also like saying widget. Widget widget widget.

I like the idea of people improving on the interface that the Madcatz Mustang controller was based on. I found it easier to play accurately than other midi guitars that have more realistic strings or even the weird rubber frets on the Artiphon Instrument 1. The plastic buttons on the fretboard made it much more like a keyboard than a guitar, which was a good thing. If a new midi guitar expands and improves on this interface then I get a little excited. The one thing that Artiphon got right was the sleak and modern design that doesn’t mimic the overused aesthetic of a super strat. Unfortunately it was a little too heavy and not reliable with it’s accuracy of note triggering. I would love to see something more like a midi “shamisen”. Two or three courses of “strings” would allow for less clutter and therefore less mistakes. I could play simple chords and leads and trigger samples accurately using a device that is flexible as far as incorporating into my own custom aesthetic. I probably have very unique needs and expectations that aren’t for the mass market, which renders this whole conversation pointless. But I’ll always have an ear to the ground when it comes to new midi guitars, hoping that someone will have the same idea.

Thank you, Henning, for this GREAT review! Because of your diligent work here, I now know beyond the faintest shadow of doubt that I must stay as far away from AeroBand's guitars as possible but seriously consider purchasing a Fishman Triple Play. ¡Muchos gracias! Vielen Dank! Thank you so much!!!

The background music 🤣

I'll wait for the 7 string version

The main problem with this products is that real instruments are so cheap. Many or most people don't know that, and as a Christmas gift for some youngster, 3-400 isn't seen as very expensive among lots of people these days. Also, it connects to a computer, which most people have, as opposed to a guitar amp, which most people don't have. It will sell based on people's ignoranse. This is a good and very honest channel.

Hi, I think that the strumming triggers on any midi guitar give an unnatural feeling when using piano or synth sounds. I have had the old casio and the yourock guitar, the latter had the tap mode. For me it is the best way to use a midi guitar because it is more similar to the articulate form of a keyboard and with the added bonus of being able to use both hands in independent melodic lines. There is a guitar that has that, the gotar 3 from starr labs but unfortunately it is difficult to acquire in my country.

Im curious. does an instrument like this, a thing that functions as a midi controller actually exists? Something that would work more or less like a normal midi keyboard you'd connect to a daw. Something that exists in the shape of a guitar and allows for the expressive playing unique to guitar like string bends and slides, but translates that into midi input and automation.

We need honest reviews like this, so thanks for that. The unboxing vid music pretty much said this wasn't going to be a favourable one! These people are barking mad!

ive got a similar guitar and its ok for recording piano, ive also got a midi pickup and controller and its a pain in the ass. it drops notes sometimes and you'll get the odd screech for no reason at all. i've tried quite a few midi systems over the years and i've yet to find a reliable one, still it has forced me to improve my keyboard playing. imo, you played the piano sound really well considering how different it is to an actual guitar.

I'm just at the part of the unboxing thinking. They could totally make a bridge accessory with the optic stuff they use to capture the strings vibration and sell it as a MIDI interface to add to a regular electric.

It's almost like you're acting as their marketing/R&D department. They build a thing, send it to you to review, you trash it, then they over-literally take your feedback onboard, build a new thing, send it to you... and the cycle repeats. After another 10-12 cycles of this, they could come up with a pretty good instrument. Brilliant review, love it

It's one thing for a company to make a guitar that can be difficult to play because of sharp frets or cheap hardware or massive neck dive or whatever. Those are usually solvable, if frustrating to deal with. It's another thing altogether to make a guitar that even experienced players say "yeah, I can't play this." Not because it needs to be repaired or upgraded, but because it is so fundamentally different to play that it's a whole different instrument.

Just use Jam Origin Midi Guitar in your DAW, works great!

They should be told that it would be a good idea to bring out a model with 24 frets and also seven strings...or eight...or twelve! With a whammy bar! I would be very curious to hear the answer! They are really painless jokers, my goodness....🤣

It's sad the only good example of what a great MIDI guitar should be was the SynthAxe and it didn't sell well because it was very expensive. It still runs circles around modern MIDI guitars even with maybe 20 functional units in existence.
