What a waste... kinda

I got the Squier Strat Rock Band guitar, for the MIDI capability.

Not my cuppa tea. 

1. Each string is it's own MIDI channel 1 thru 6. SoftSynth needs to be able to operate in Omni mode or you have to load 6 instances (as I did in SampleTank) 
2. It requires this spring loaded mute bar to be engaged (looks like a neck pickup but with a sponge surface) in order to register MIDI
3. Its responsiveness is not good
4. Due to number 2, it does not feel like you're even remotely playing a guitar (IMO)
5. It requires 3 AA batteries to power the MIDI port
6. As a guitar, it's a Squier with a single pickup in the bridge position.
7. The neck is B-U-L-K-Y!!!

Live and learn. It was a $100 investment so no big loss.

At least my grandsons have Rock Band at home so I can give it to them.

Does the bapu have Reaktor?

Or try this - hook a sustain pedal up to operate only on the low Am string's channel, use an arpeggiated patch on that channel, then hit a note, step on the sustain pedal, and have some fun on the other Am strings.

Change of heart.

Gonna return it tomorrow for credit.
