This is excellent news!!!
 
I'm most interested in the first 2 items on that list as this will be a definite game changer. Looking forward to installing the Beta and testing it out (very glad to see ALL these improvements/fixes/enhancements by Jam Origin).
 
Thanks RC!!
 

Yes most definitely the first 2, the 3rd ain't to bad either :) all welcome, and it works pretty good, I always thought it did and have always been impressed bu it, and it only gets better, so glad I jumped on this way back. It was actually at these forums long ago that I first became aware of it and nabbed it. Just love the Software and Deals forums here.

 
Great news. Just downloaded, the list of improvements looks good. Beta 8 worked good but better is ...well better.  Dan 

One of these days I have to get the Windows version of Midi Guitar . Have the Mac version from the app store and I Love it .

Yeah, me too....glad I jumped on it as well. (I actually posted that original thread in these forums on Midi Guitar (when it was in it's initial Beta infancy) ).

I have to say it works pretty well. It's not 100%, but its pretty close. Note tracking is almost perfect and the bending adds a whole new world of expression to it. I can't wait to try it on a song. Maybe I'll make a Youtube video going over it soon.

Got it, thanks....

 I must have missed a few updates, I was on beta 4 and polyphony was disabled on it. Just did a comparison to my Sonnus G2M (monophonic) and Casio DG-20 (polyphonic), and Midi guitar has made them totally obsolete. I'm curious to know how closely MG 2 compares to those expensive pro midi guitar setups.

I'll have to update tonight.
 
Did they include the talent fix yet?
