(More customer reviews)If you're an instrumentalist who wants to convert your sound into midi(enabling you to trigger electronic sounds) this might be your ticket to ride. I purchased this unit to trigger sounds from my electric guitars. I have old unit by roland(VP-10) which was designed to track vocals. It did not work well on vocals, but was good on guitars. Well this unit is cheaper and tracks better too. The Roland does double duty of processing, but it is no longer made. All one has to do to get it working is put in a battery, plug a guitar cord in, plug a midi out cable in, plug midi cable into midi input, and run an out cable from unit into you guitar effects/amp / mixer channel/recording channel. This is a device created by a company with affiliates in guitar tuner technology. So tracking was their priority. It is mono, so playing power chords is out.I like playing solo lead lines on one string. If you change from one string to the next,remember to mute the note before hitting the next, otherwise it goes gonzo. If you have midi gear and want a device that will accept any guitar you own without having to install a pickup on it, then this could be for you. If you need to play chords, buy a roland system. Like the VP 70 ,this unit gives one the freedom to just plug in and play. I recently connected the sonuus to a MOPHO synth. That unit is monophonic, so the marraige seemed fruitful. Not all of the sounds of the MOPHO were guitar friendly. Tweaking patches/sounds on your slave unit will be essential to get good interplay between your instrument and the unit you choose to trigger. While I use it on guitar,any instrument can trigger this. If you have a violin, acoustic guitar,sax, mandolin, harp, ect. and If it has small mic output or a contact pickup on it, it can interface with the Sonuus. Just make sure that you have an adaptor to bring your connection to a 1/4 input. I would think wind instruments with a small bell mike could work well with this, as they are monophonic. For those craving a wider palette of sound, check it out. AMEN

Notes are generated exactly as played, and the nuances of your performance are captured with fast, accurate pitch-bend data.Improves Playing TechniqueFor optimal MIDI conversion, your guitar playing needs to be clean and accurate. Accidental notes, resonating open strings and other sounds can often be converted into undesired MIDI notes.
