Since its inception, MIDI technology has been dominated by keyboardists. EastWest rectifies that situation with their MIDI Guitar Instruments Series, finally giving guitarists access to some of the best virtual instruments on the planet. After years of testing MIDI guitar systems, the Fishman TriplePlay Wireless MIDI Guitar Controller, with its superior tracking and vanishingly low latency, was the catalyst that finally caused EastWest to declare that MIDI guitar had indeed arrived — a paradigm shift of major proportions. Working closely with Fishman, East West re-programmed instruments and made adjustments to the software specifically for the TriplePlay. The result is nothing short of astonishing. If you’re a guitarist who’s been frustrated by MIDI in the past, take it from Sweetwater: you simply have to check out the MIDI Guitar Series.
