All I can say is Wow!.
Sound On Sound did a review of the latest version that offers 32 and 64 bit VST plugins. The reviewer was blown away by the tracking and low latency and preferred it to the current hardware based solutions.
So I gave their trial version (which is an earlier release) a go and was impressed with the accuracy of the software. The native program's recognition of my existing VSTs was a bit hit and miss, but the review and some youtube videos showed how to use the plugin version of the tool with Reaper and other DAWs.
So.. I went out on a limb and purchased the full new version.
I've gotta say, this version is amazing, tracking far better than other guitar-midi solutions I've used previously. The latency of the plugins is really low and when used in my DAW (Reaper) there are no issues with routing the generated MIDI through to my virtual instruments. It works beautifully with Omnisphere.
I've been keeping my eye on Guitar to MIDI since it first kicked off in the late 80s and I have to say this new software is one of the most remarkable implementations of this technology I have ever encountered.
Seriously impressive!

Any form of Pitch-to-MIDI pitch conversion will introduce a discernible processing delay. My preference is to avoid MIDI altogether and play a self-contained system. e.g. Old Roland GR or recent VG rigs or some of the Electro-Harmonix gadgets that employ granular technology.
I had to watch a few setup vids to get it to play in logic pro x, but when it was set up-pretty amazing really.
I was considering a hex pickup, but this solution seems to work really well for me--latency isnt really an issue, and theres a lot to play with, worth it for me just for the polyphony and notation ability.
glad I saw this post earlier.
cheers
