Hi Bob,

I don’t have any particular reason, if not having my os up-to-date =/ I don’t know if I can revert to SL since I use TimeMachine to make my backups. I’ll contact tattiboggle to see if he/they know how to fix it.

Thanks for your kick reply,
Marty

Hey Marty,
sorry to hear of your troubles. This is indeed a driver problem and not something I can fix. Your best bet would be contacting the tattieboggle author directly.
Any reason in particular you’re using Lion? Snow Leopard is by all accounts more stable. Reverting to that could be a quick fix.

Bob.

Hi !

After some months without doing music, (and installing Lion), I just realised that AXIS (best program ever, you were true, this way of playing is very very great) don’t work anymore. I tried a lot of things :
1) instaling last version
2) re-instaling drivers
3) re-instaling old drivers

Nothing changes, sometime the controler isn’t recognized (green flashing lights), and when I apply the fix for this, it doesn’t do light anymore, but it doesnt appear anywhere (Axis, or System Panel Xbox360 controller).

Keep up good work!
Marty

Hi, I can’t seem to get my guitar hero controller to show up as a device in axis. I followed the directions, tried reinstalling a few times and still nothing is working. Any suggestions?

Hey great program, although I can’t seem to get a sound out of it, the program is registering everthing and i can change the offset, velocity etc but no sound? also, how would i go about getting this into ableton to use? Cheers, Chris

hey marty,

with smart scale choice and a lot of practice it is possible to play basically anything monophonic – ie most guitar solos. but it will take a lot of practice as it’s more like playing a saxophone or a flute than a guitar.

if you’d like to play more notes at once and you’re using ableton you can get really great results using the built in chord and scale plugins. if you’re in a different program, googling midi plugins will get you far. check this out for more of an explanation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Yqd24NTfjM

Hi man !

Your app is awesome. The biggest problem is the playability. It’s very efficient to play notes thats aren’t far from each other, but if I want for example play a riff like Aerodynamic’s one, I just can’t.

But I’ve got an idea: the max/msp that receive events from the guitar have an additionnal midi input (like the vocoder audio input for carrier, but in midi). If you send a 5 notes chord into it, you can play theses notes immediatly with the 5 buttons, like in the Guitar Hero game !

This will have two big effects:
1) Playability goes to MAXIMUM if you’re used to play GH (like me héhé :D)
2) The scenic part is bigger, you seems to play more like a real guitar and that’s what I want more

What do you think about it ? I wish I could do this myself but I’m completly newbe to max programming

musicaly yours,
Marty Lake
