I have it set up right, but I'm not impressed so far. I stepped a way for a few days and will come back at it fresh. At this time, I'm not seeing the hype...

I haven't used mine for months and months ...

I'm going to give it another chance tonight. If it isn't up to par, it's going back...

I agree. For years I had heard how good the Axon was so when the FTP came out I thought I'd give it a try. Part of my problem is the setup - I use to have a GK1 PU on a BC Rich ST so I tried the FTP on that, but it has a large radius fret board and the hi e is a little weak. I suspect that since it runs off a battery they limit the gain on the PUs. GK PUs work fine on that guitar. If I want to do GTR-to-midi I use a GR-55, it tracks better for me or a You Rock Gen 2 guitar. 
 
For guitar synth I mostly use a VG-99, SY-300, and EH Key 9 - modifying the guitar signal works much better than pitch recognition at this time.
 

So far I'm not overly impressed, but I will see if I can fine tune it better as well as maybe having to adjust my buffer settings. Right now it seems to lag a bit. My first foray into guitar/midi so I will give it a little time.

I can go down to 64 samples on my Apollo if I pretty much have nothing else going but Komplete Kontrol. It's playable, but it's NOT as good as I hoped. Also, in a creative process I can never get that low - I start usually start with BFD and Stylus and then some guitars... By the time I'm ready to lay down some synth parts I think I'd be hard pressed to go lower than 128. At 128, the latency of my Komplete Kontrol is negligible. 
 
A little more testing to do, but I think it's going back.

It went back. :/

I'm not in the least bit surprised. When I first saw it, I had a moment of "wth are they thinking" to "that sounds terrible" after hearing the demos. The device doesn't give you enough control over your samples to begin with. That's just the beginning of the issues.
