Hardware Chord Memorizer?

[zielvis]

Hi there,

I need to trigger chords using a bass guitar with a MIDI pickup. Would You suggest anything hardware similar to Logic's chord memorizer to send appriopriate commands to a sound module?

Thanks in advance

Marcin

This is theoretical and expensive:

Bass fitted with hex/midi pickup => MIDI conversion box (Roland GI20?) => MPC1000 w/ JJ OS2 XL => module

Mind you, that's probably a couple of thousand Euros for something hard to set up and inaccurate and buggy.

Nord Modular G2 engine. It is a swiss-army-knife for this kind of stuff. And a great responsive outboard mulit-effect if you want it to...

The only bass to midi unit that I know of currently in production is the Roland VB-99.

I think the OP already has a MIDI bass guitar...

Ah, right.

Thanks for Your replies, guys. I'm afraid my question was not clear enough though...

I already have a midi pick up and know how to use it. What I want to be able to do is to play a bass note and have it trigger the whole chord. For example: I play C as a root and the sound module plays C-E-G at once (not as an arpeggio).

Thanks, Marcin

The Ketron intelligent arranger can do that.
