I was not demonizing just observing I could never demonize any Jazz Player and yes early Midi were very heavy I remember the "organ guitar" which was basically the soundboard of an old organ mixed with some FX. They though did not have midi output as it was pre midi as you said That was until someone actually made it midi. The early Rolands with their massive footboards and thick heavy cables. True my original statement used a huge paint brush of generalisation. But I do still think the majority of Jazz guitarists stay with that fat bluesy sound rather than exploring the vast universe that is midi.?
Midi has even left your general Rock musician sitting on the floor sucking their thumbs and playing with a massive pedal array. Sound modules are no longer twinky bontempi sounding units. The instrument samples are first class. I think another reson that guitarists shy away from Midi is because MOST though not all systems suffered from Lag and that includes the Market leaders Roland who have still stuck with their Hex Pickups. The lack of "Feel" in these systems also caused them to be a no no for lead guitarists in all genre.?
