MOTM

Well, it's not polyphonic or a guitar synth, but I have something called
a Fairlight Voicetracker that works really well. It takes an audio
signal in and outputs midi and CV.  The CV out gives the normal pitch,
gate, and envelope as well as qualities such as brightness and purity.
You can hook it up to a computer monitor and tailor the tracking
response. I find it really useful to sing lead lines on my synth. The
best net info I have found is at:
