I thought the 30% deal ended Dec 31 as an early adopter special. I have not been to the website since I bought the thing about a week ago.

OK, what did you pay then?

That's a price I'd pay today.

They have raised the price, it's $99.95.

I meant above (if it was $69.97) I'd buy it. Trying to decide if $100 is really worth it.

Since it's still beta, maybe we could negotiate a deal as a group. That would greatly benefit the developer as we are always working on solutions to issues that arise as a group. I'm interested and would be happy to contact them on our behalf.

I shot 'em an e-mail and included a link to this thread.

I'm in for 30% off of the now $99.95 ($67.97)

I've got a Roland strat and the GR-33, and I didn't think this was in the same league...and my GR-33 is two generations ago, from Roland.

I found it glitchy and the latency was pretty bad.   All the videos are people playing whole notes and strings and such... 

The 30% off deal was a beta, intro offer, supposedly ending 1/1/13...but I think with a pile of offers, they'd  offer it up again.

Mesh...  yeah, I messed around several times... tried ASIO, WDM, etc...  I was getting about 10ms latency as a guess, as my best, after adjust buffers, etc.  VERY quick slap back kind of delay.  Using my Layla 3G and Sonar, it was pretty glitchy too or tracking about 70% and throwing in odd noises every now and then, which would totally rule out live use for me.  I tried several guitars and sounds going in as well.  Since I'm very interested in MIDI guitar, I'm really wanting this to happen, but either I'm missing something or I've gotten used to my current setup with the Roland GR and Roland Strat.

I'll be watching this closely though.  I don't give up easily!

one last item... using the trial version, when I transposed down, that wasn't working either.  IOW, the bottom note remained the same, but only where I now played it on my guitar.  Using the trial piano sound...  so it worked as far as where I played it on the guitar, but I couldn't play lower sounding notes.

Sorry to hear that mixmkr....
For me, it worked fairly well as far as latencey goes and I didn't notice any. It couldn't keep up with quicker picking patterns as I'd like it to (with Input Sensitivity is maxed), but didn't do any buffer changes in my Line 6 TonePort soundcard. Alchemy was just a treat!!!
 
You can see if this latency issue can be fixed with using your network cable router (WIFI MIDI)......since it's still in the developement stages, we may be the ones who find some of the solutions.

0.6.0 did not last long
0.6.1 is out

  Question: I've followed the steps from their website. I think I'm missing something here: when I have the plugin configured as synth, it shows up in the synth menu, but I can't place/drag it to the FX bin of the audio track that I created. What am I missing? Rusty

Just playing with their latest version (0.6.1) in standalone, I must say it's a much better improvement (response-wise). They tweaked and streamlined a few of the configuration/menu's and I noticed a smoother/more fluid result when playing.

Still, I wouldn't pay the $99 cover charge......maybe 1/2 that and a few more updated versions down the line.

I got a reply and we got shot down on a deal. I picked up a You Rock Guitar and I'm blown away with this toy. Mucho Fun!!!

The You Rock Guitar is pretty cool! I need to install the software on my new computer. I've been using it on my ipad for sketching out compositions and cues when I am away from my home studio. The things tracks well. It doesnt take long to get over the initial "detached" feeling either. I've actually used it with the ipad to do some promo videos with original score at a school I teach at with some pretty good results. It's amazing how creative you have to be when working with a "limited" device like the ipad. The YRG works well with most of the synth apps as long as you experiment with the settings. 

I'm still blown away by the YRG. It opened up a whole new world for me. I have to try some ipad apps.

For those keeping score version 0.7.0 released today

From the bottom of this thread http://www.kvraudio.com/f...php?t=359095&start=675 Yeah, the website was not updated last time I looked but the links in the kvr thread worked for me.
