Kinda pricey.

Glad it worked for you...I had one and with a GK-3 and my Godin xTSA I never could get the tracking to work with soft synths the way it was 'advertised' to work. The software had way to many permutations of configurations and because it's not a widely used device I had a hard time trying to find any information on what settings folks were using that was working.

I have a GR-20 now and am very happy with it. How have you found the software? What kind of adjustments did you make?

Hi, Duojet,

Wow, that converter looks really cool. And you are having virtually no latnency or tracking issues when you're playing soft synths in your computer? If so, sign me up. I bought a Roland GR-1 back in the '90's when they first came out and loved it, though it was quite slow at tracking. Had to sell it to get out of a jam and I've always wanted another guitar synth. This box sounds like the real deal. What type of hex pickup are you using, or does your guitar have one built in? Have you tried this unit with external hardware synths? My Roland didn't really work very well when I tried to play sounds out of my XP-50 keyboard. I'm hoping the Axon is better at this than the Roland.

Thanks for the head's up abouthis unit. Now I'll have to start saving my pennies.......

How about fingerpicking a nylon-stringed Godin? I have one of those, and a GR-33 as well...

Hi, Cris,

I assume you mean one of the classical Godin's with the built in hex pickup? Sadly, due to an arthritus-related disease that has totally trashed almost all of the joints in my body, including my fingers, I can no longer play classical guitars (neck's too wide) or even standard steel string acoustics. I'm still able to play some on just about any electric guitar, however, though not with the same ability that I did before this condition got ahold of me (it started in the early '90's). So, that sort of thing is out for me. I've thought about buying a GR-33 but they seem to be hard to come by these days. Which explains why I'm very interested to hear about the Axon unit. I'd love to have a guitar synth that *really* does have almost no-latency tracking with *any* synth, software or hardware. When I had my GR-1, despite how cool it was, it had a long ways to go to become a low-latency tracker and it wasn't worth a hoot at triggering other hardware synths. I've heard that the GR-33's are much better at this than the GR-1's were.

No "noticable" additional latency to my EMU 1820M which is set to 3ms latency. This combined with the Axon is very playable. Like I said in a previous post, there is an odd note here and there but very few. If your technique is relatively clean you will get great results. As a guitar player when you do midi, you have to get out of some habits like the muted "chick chick" type rhythm things (think nirvana smells like teen spirit). As long as you are playing actual notes it sounds great. I am using it with kontakt 2 and its fantastic. I now have the urge to but more softsynths! I am using the Roland GK-2A that I used with my old GR-30. I have heard that the pickup does not make much difference.

One other great thing is there is no device driver to load. It uses the windows generic midi device driver. You only need to load the editor, but theoretically you could literally plug and play.

I recently picked up a passion for making music, and am searching for some of the best soft and hardware products to use, bought an used axon ax 50... all complete but the registration code for fl studio 6 express... the seller tells me he ain't got it. have no idea but i think the program is very important. 
 
are there users who can tell me about experiencing the axon ax50 and using software for it... contact me at facebook.com/oscar.v.son
 
second problem i found was while installing the editor for axon ax 50 usb... if i open the program it stops telling me there is a problem with the program. can only choose to stop and look for online solutions. no links are shown. 
i'm using it on a Toshiba Satellite laptop, windows 7, 64bit...  

thak's for replying, i contacted Terratec and got this solution...
