Fortunately, the AX 50 is class compliant, meaning there are no drivers to load. Astonishingly, while the unit came with a USB cable (a common connection these days), the 13-pin cable needed to connect the guitar to the Axon was not included. The AX 50 connects to your PC or Mac, via a USB cable, while your instrument is plugged into the AX 50 with a 13-pin guitar cable or a hex pickup attached to your guitar. Combine this speed with three different splits, MIDI tuning, virtual USB ports and some software sounds and you have a nice little package. The Axon is faster because of how it detects the note – instead of waiting for a waveform to read, like other converters, the Axon detects note information (pitch, volume, pick location and more) from the instant the note is picked (called Transient Early Recognition). Obviously each model has its benefits and quirks – the Rolands are easier to setup and use but the Axon packs in more features and tracks faster. To date, there are only three guitar to USB MIDI converters on the market: Roland’s GI-20 and VG-99 models and the Axon AX 50 USB. Are you getting 100% out of your recording software? Did you know guitarists could do more than just record their guitar into a computer? How about playing a piano, string section, horns and more? Do you want to notate sheet music or tab and email or print it out? With a guitar to MIDI converter, you can use your recording or notation software to it fullest potential.
