![Best Midi Guitars, let's compare... [Jamstik Studio, Artiphon Instrument 1, Jammy]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VkYsJ3twWpg/mqdefault.jpg)
Makes me want to start a Star wars themed synth rock band called the MIDI-Chlorians.
🤘🏻🖖👽🐦🛸🎸🎛️🎹🎚️🕴️
Better watch out, I heard the MIDI-Lorians are after those bounties.
Underrated reply.
i never knew i needed that in my life until now
Why would you announce this without having done it yet? This comment should’ve came from the “MIDI-Chlorians” youtube channel. Now if you don’t do it right away, someone is going to steal this idea. Get on it now
Plays happy birthday in a Fit For An Autopsy shirt😂
Popping some popcorn and watching the flame roll in. You are a brave man, Fluff.
The question that always comes up with midi guitars is: does it track fast and does it track accurately? I got no answer to that. :(
Ioannis Tziallas that’s because this is an add. Go check out Rachelf she has an accurate review
In short, no, it does not
Just ran in to you at the Panda Express, good talking to you man, thanks for shaking my hand!
Joshua Eason no problem fam
I would definitely play this thing live as a rock guitarist. Just because of the way it looks
i wanted to see this plugged into a midi guitar plug in and see how it compares to a real guitar and what would be the advantages, ect.
No one:
UA-cam Subtitles: "Today on roofs piercing gears... "
Is there any reason to use one of these over one of those midi pickups on an actual guitar, or using one of those guitar-to-midi boxes with a normal guitar?
I already have multiple guitars, and those removable midi pickups etc are half the price. Then I'd have full scale and range of the guitar, and a normal guitar that still does guitar stuff.
A midi controller gives you a direct midi signal that won’t be fucked with if your slightly out of tune, I’ve tried out midi pickups and midi to guitar they don’t sound half as good
I have to say this is a really good tool. I enjoy both regular guitars but also I enjoy synthesizers. This is more midi/synth based than guitar based. This is good if you want to use this for playing midi/synth instruments. If you’re a guitarist on the go, this is helpful for sure. I use it for when I’m having to go to multiple places through the day. This is an investment. Here are the cons to the jammy. Its kind of plasticy. You have to get used to the feeling of it as well, it doesn’t feel super natural but it’s not hard to get used it. It took me about few days of toying around with it to get used to it. It’s charge is kind of middle of the road, so it’s not great but it’s not bad. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a portable instrument that can be used for multiple purposes. If you’re looking for a new guitar, this is a fun addition to the collection but shouldn’t be a go to for solid guitar playing. The jammy company is doing pretty consistent updates for its firmware and have improved upon the response issue that a lot of people had with it at first. All in all, it’s a reliable instrument with some minor setbacks, but with more potential than downfall. It’s a solid 3.8/5
This remembers me the kitara, the diference being that in the kitara, the "strings" were substitued by buttons in the neck instead of a proper fretboard and by a screen thing that reacts somewhat to the movements of the right hand.
Happy belated birthday Fluff!
yoo i have a Question for this can you tune it anyway you feel or is it stuck on a grid or something???
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy belated Birthday fluff!!!
This would be really cool for expressive woodwinds like the shakuhachi, where bending the sound is part of how you play the instrument.
Agreed. 🦃
I believe there are a few things like this that that are for woodwind players if I'm not mistaken. I'm not able to Google the names right this minute though.
Dude you read my mind
There are midi wind controllers and really good physical modeling synthesis vst’s to match
@@niclastname EWI - electronic wind instrument. Don't know if that's the general term or a copyrighted name
good job on the improved intro mix
You are possibly the first American UA-camr I've heard say et cetera correctly!
Is there a nob on the guitar to switch to different tones wail using the app as well or do I have to go back and forth to select different tones evry time
Just install
MidiGuitar2 by Jam Origin.
You're Welcome
awesome thanks!
Or get a sonuus i2m
Happy Birthday Fluff!
Do have to plug it into something or can you just use headphones?
4 things I want to know: Does chords work well ? Is the latency ok ? Are bends, and other expressions detected by the pickups? Is it better than a midi pickup like for example fishman triple play or others ?
I've seen videos where people trying to slide and the effect was pretty limited. I was about to try one, but I don't know if I want to spend $400 on an experiment
Happy Thanksgiving Fluff and all!
That Fit For An Autopsy shirt thoughhhhh
Can I play drums on it? Use it as a midi-Controller?
totally buying this, this is incredible
Could you actually change the strings on this controller? I can only imagine how worn out this could get
I'd rather get an Artiphon Instrument 1 instead of that thing. What happens when you break a string? You can install fresh strings on it or you're stuck with what it came up with?
I love the idea of a midi controller in a guitar form factor tbh. I wish more guitars had thus functionality built in, like I’ve seen people do custom Stratocaster pickguards with USB plugs in them for MIDI out.
Well, there are (at least) two approaches to MIDI guitars:
1) Having all pitch-to-MIDI conversion and a MIDI Out (and Bluetooth MIDI) aboard the guitar (as with the Jamstik Studio and apparently this Jammy);
2) Having all pitch-to-MIDI conversion in some case, fed by the individual signals of the strings through a cable with 13-pin connectors (as with MIDI-ready guitars by Fender and Godin and the GK-3 pick-ups by Roland, with among those "cases" the GR-55 by Roland and the SY-1000 by boss).
I think that each approach has it pros and cons. I could be in a marching band playing a battery-powered synthesizer (or soft synth on a mobile device) through my Jamstik Studio, and have the sound come from a portable active loudspeaker. I could play my 13-pin gear and have better guitar sounds (Godin) or dedicated guitar synths with MIDI Out.
What about palm-muting or chugs? Does it sound great or not?
My mind works in "fretboard" vs "keyboard" so this would possibly quicken my workflow when I program midi in my daw.
Can i use it with ample bas/guitar plug in?
Happy belated Birthday!
Thanks for your review. I own a You Rock Guitar and I wonder how it does compare to it.
Can you record episodes about guitar midi systems on the example of ROLAND GI 20 from the moment of mounting and setting the GK3 pickup on the guitar, by configuring the interface and sounds in a REAPER or CUBASE program.
I do not hide that I need your help so will you help?
I always wanted to play midi Guitar live. But not something quite like this exclusively. Amir Derakh has always been one of my biggest influences. I wish the divided pickup, midi converter thing had matured a bit more, if it had come as far as modelling has we'd have something quite usable by now. I still have my GI-20 and a couple of GK pickups, and I still hope to build a dedicated hybrid rig with a real guitar that can also play synth modules.
Wish this guy would get to the point. What's really important is... Do the left hand neck strings vibrate like a normal guitar with the pitch then being converted to midi, or are they just to make contact to trigger a midi tone in synth ?
Okay so someone has to start a guitar cover challenge called "Midi Me"
I wonder if this could be used with eurobass or the Loki bass or any midi bass plugins? 🤔
Can you use this for superior drummer 3?
How do you restring it’s?
Can someone do guitar strumming in midi files to use in styles that i create in cubase? Thanks
Happy bufday fluff!
The background jingle! What`s the namn of the tune?
I love my Jammies! Oh, wait! 🎶🎸
can you run it into a synth?
is there any bass?
Saving up for it currently
How recently? I need to know if we have the same birthday.
Can't wait to get my hand on this >:)
Hey there! You can get one on our website: shop.playjammy.com/products/black-friday-offer-100-off-on-jammy-midi-guitar-string-set-for-free?fbclid=IwAR2kZuiIukQ8agYfALTWusZQqarCp-5ZG2IE0LYHmlfavxxsscExiHXNBSQ
what is the tracking and latency like? oh shit I just saw the price nevermind lol
Hey Fluff, Happy Birthday! Would love to see a follow-up video please. I have not yet found a review of jammie that covers some things I would really like to know about jammie as a MIDI controller. I use the Fishman tripleplay, but wonder how jammie performs. . Things like- tracking speed/latency, accuracy, chords, continuous or stepped bends, slides, picking vs. fingerstyle,, dynamic range, and if there are differences in tracking speed between low and high strings. Would love to see a comparison between the tripleplay and jammie or other options if you’re ever up to it. This might not be in your wheelhouse, but it could be a fun and helpful adventure into guitar MIDI tech. Love your channel. Happy Thanksgiving!
There's a smaller channel that I follow called Rachelf. She did a pretty truthful video on the Jammy a little while back. I felt like it highlighted some of the things you mentioned. ua-cam.com/video/zR1nhH_CHNc/v-deo.html
@@TrueLink1 Great, Thanks very much for replying and offering a link!!!
wow I love this
As a fan of Pendulum and their use of the Ztar, but not a fan of the price tag of the Ztar's, I'm literally ready to throw my money at this!
how to replace strings?
ive seen some other reviews for this, and some of them are negative, but despite people's criticisms of this instrument, i do think it would be super fun to play around with, and would totally get it if i had more money. My current financial situation wouldn't allow a several hundred $ purchase on something that may or may not work, but if i was making a living off of something better paying than washing dishes, i'd totally want to buy and play around with this thing.
I will say one of the biggest complaints ive seen from negative reviews is the fact that sometimes the midi sensors misread what youre playing and output a wrong note, but ive heard a couple say that thru the app, a few software changes were made to make this problem less frequent, so that makes me really excited for the development of this technology. So altho this tech is still in its early stages of development, i do think its super cool and those in a financial position to do so should totally check it out.
So it's a midi keyboard function in guitar form?
Is there any benefit to getting this instead of a guitar-to-midi box and just using one of your regular guitars?
Nope
How do you tune it
Could you also use this as a fretlight to write in guitar pro?
Troy Powell Can’t say 100% sure but I haven’t seen anything on this so I’d say no
Who else saw this thing first on Mary Spender's channel? And then Stevie T's? ;)
Making the rounds.
I saw it first on Produce Like a Pro while he was at a trade show and they demoed it.
This sounds like a very cool product. Where can you get one of these? I am like the intro and extra music to your video. It sounds nice and heavy-metal you didn't by chance use this guitar to get that did you? Thanks for the demo.
Its $500 USD, you can just search up jammy guitar
Happy Thanksgiving
have you never tried the Fishman Triple Play? Does the same thing, wireless and mounts on your own guitar, for roughly the same price (or less)
Agreed. Or buy a used Roland Guitar system.
I wonder if you can restring and program it for a left handed player?
Hi Mitchell! Unfortunately, we don’t have a left-handed version for now and the right-handed version can't be used by lefties because unlike the strings, the string sensors can't be placed in the opposite order. But I suppose we’ll have it in the future. Subscribe to our channel and stay tuned!
Its cool, but I would have like to see more of you just playing it and picking midi plugins.
What about latency problems?
Your hand movements destruct me.
need to see this compared with the fishman triple play system
hum...You gotta do a hi gain Shootout! Rockerverb vs 5150 vs rectifier... that would be very usefull!
Waah, can you play the Jammy via the Abasi Archetype please?
This is pretty interesting
Thank you for your disclaimer, the blow back from the analog dedicated peeps is always a thing. Attempts to bring them into the recording/midi/digital side of the art is not always necessary or even appropriate, as you know. Looks bad ass. Thank you for your work bro. My share with list have all gotten a link right back here. 🦃🤘🏻🚽
I'm very very pro-midi/digital/electronic music etc. But I've heard very little good about this thing by people who weren't sent one. Many people have said that it's very unresponsive and tracks really poorly.
I use synth with my guitar and keyboard all the time and love it. I'm waiting for my order of the new BOSS synth pedal as we speak! :D I just have strong doubts that this thing works all that well from the majority of what I've read and heard.
How does the neck feel? Your hands looks awkward playing it lol
guys is it me worth getting it?
Why do I feel like "Fluff" isn't really into it?
He got paid to review this crap
Its a tool similar to a guitar but not a guitar and he PLAYS guitar
Can you use it with SOLEMN TONES The Odin??? if yes then this is gonna change the game I think.
You sure can
I like the Jamstick more but this is also pretty good
To be fair, Jamstick is twice the price
I played with that at Namm
I have several midi 'guitars'. I'll be adding one of these to my collection when they hit the used market. Cool but too expensive in my opinion.
check out Reverb
Have you found any specs that would make the cost more palatable? I haven't had a chance yet. 🦃
@@pyramydseven I should do a video on my MIDI guitars. This one just adds an App to make it hip but is useless as a MIDI controller IMHO. Get a real electric guitar or a real MIDI guitar is my opinion. When you try to make something "All Things" it usually end up being none of them.
@@tikkireyua B-stock $350. Yep
Happy Birthday will be copyright striked lol
He should have played "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow" instead. That one's public domain.
Yep. Owned by Warner Brothers.
@@erodi6956 Is there a music publishing company that Warner's hasn't bought, yet? Anyway, from what I just read, a few years ago "Happy Birthday" was ruled by a federal court to now be in public domain, so Warner's can gey kaken .
The Best.
The ultimate evolution of the YouRock
Oh that's it... I just cannot express myself accurately without digital fart noises. Or cat meows. Or laser beams... Nope... Just can't accurately express myself without those.
I wonder how many people bought this after watching your video just to be throughoutly dissapointed. I was wondering why you would chose happy birthday as a song. Turns out the "whacky" can't handle much more heat than that.
It sounded weird doing just guitar sounds. Not a bad a weird but yeah. This is the first time I’ve seen a demo of it that wasn’t cheesy. Lol.
Also didn’t Gene Simmons buy the rights for happy birthday? Or is the times up for that?
Why did they made it look like an old CASIO midi guitar?? 😂 Does it send MPE ?
Because it is a 40 year old idea repackaged.
Hi there! Maybe they do look a bit similar, but Jammy is very different. It doesn't send MPE though.
@@JammyGuitar It looks nothing like any Casio guitars IMHO
@@DBCisco Thanks!
But does it djent?
Wonder what Sarah Longfield could do with it
Wheres the fishman triple play review? Fluffrrs?
Heavy distortion on the Jammy + Singular by Spectre Digital? Wink wink.
This could actually be useful in many ways
Say bye to all monetization on this video. The people that own happy birthday own your soul now. 😂😂😂
still wonder how fluff doesnt get alot video flagged for

Failing to see how the Jammy is more expressive than a keyboard with aftertouch tbh. I come from using 80's guitar synths like the Roland G series, and the Synthaxe, and both look just as, if not more capable (the SynthAxe slays the Jammy and was made in the 80s!). Midi lag is a bit greater on older units, but the expression on the Jammy is just dissapointing. I've looked all over UA-cam and cannot see anyone do a good bend on it, or vibrato well. So yer, keyboard with aftertouch and 2 mod wheels has more expression currently in my opinion.
being a digital guitar, what's the latency like? is it noticeable, even in the slightest?
Vlad Duh the real question
@@bavingeter423 I came across another review by Rachelf, she says that the latency is doable but points out other issues such as note detection.
Vlad Duh nice. I love the idea of a midi guitar I just don’t know why as of 2020 it’s still something that hasn’t been mastered by the industry
@@bavingeter423 Indeed, maybe the concept is difficult to implement in a way that would appeal to the masses, there have been more digital guitars from what I've seen, they just haven't been very good. I really look forward to getting one of these if I can afford it anytime soon, tho I'm not even sure if I can get one here in the uk, we'll see..
Vlad Duh I wish you the best of luck!
I saw a review video Rachelf did on this thing about a week ago. The way she talked about it, the Jammy is junk. Her main complaint was that it's less responsive than my last ex-girlfriend.
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ This should be the top comment! ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑
Its trash. I bought one, very unresponsive, the midi didn't always record properly (i.e. missing notes played).. could go on and trash this for a few more minutes, but its not even worth it.. the thing is worth about 100 bucks, maybe 2.. The best thing about it is that its portable.
Gotta date strictly Ableton then
Check out who reviews the yourock guitar
But....Does it djent?
What it's happen if you play a bend
Very interesting, except the price.
This midi controller should be taken seriously. it isn't good for performances but it is perfect for making music in studio because nowadays music is made in digital daws whoch do everything for you. For me with midi keyboard and decent e drum kit this would make good set of instruments for me since if i decide to get into music production i'll go independent and lucky for me to disribute my music today i don't need record companies to do so.
