Midi Guitar System

[Serra]

Hi guitar fellows,

Never used midi guitar before. Need help to decide between FTP or Jam Origin.
Any advice will be welcome.

Go for the FTP if you want the real deal.

I agree with Gumtown.  It would depend on your application. The FTP is a professional level unit that so far gives the most guitar like feel to midi guitar( i.e. tracking, pitch bending, etc.).  The Jam Origin in my opinion seems more like a hobby gadget, that you can use if you just want to get a little flavor of midi guitar.

Sorry could not agree, I own both and they are different, but Jam Origin is not a hobby gadget at all for me, it is stellar in many aspects and gives you an impressive feeling playing synths.
An important advantage is that you can play it with ALL your guitars because you dont need any special pickup which is only installed in a single guitar.
And there is a demo you can try for yourself in order to make your own decision.

So let's start with the first question:

What's your budget?

Jam Origin released public betas of Midiguitar starting several years ago. That has helped in getting them publicity, but hasn't helped in that they are still judged by the early betas.
The first none- beta release came just a couple of days ago. It's not a toy. It isn't perfect, but what it does and how it integrates with DAWs and /or plugins is amazing.
