IMOHO:

This midi device is one miraculous chunk of plastic that can do amazing things. I needed a midi guitar device that could plug directly into my USB computer port and help me compose directly into Guitar Pro 6 Software. The YouRock Gen2 does it. I wanted to hear the notes as I input them into the computer. There was an auxilary 1/8" jack that can plug directly into my little HoneyTone practice amp. I wasn't interested in any of the fancy sound effects or synthesizer effects. The YouRock Gen2 does all that and more but you can turn it all off and just get a relatively clean steel, folk or nylon string guitar sound. Nirvana. Feel like Jammin? There are many built in tracks to Jam with. Wail away. Its in there. Like creating your own sounds? No problem. You can save up to 99 presets in both guitar modes and synthesizer modes.

This gadget is the best musical midi bang for the buck money can buy.

For a plastic gadget its built sturdy.

I fired it up running its own internal sounds (which should be optimized for performance) and it was the same old YouRock story: brutal glitching, no ability to hammer-on integrated with normal picking, missing notes, you name it. This is yet another cheap, crappy, useless toy masquerading as an actual tool for musicians. If you want to control midi on the cheap, check out either the new Jamorigin direct to midi software (no hex pickup needed) or the new Fishman Triple Play which is getting quite a buzz (won't be out until Feb but check the NAMM Show vids next week on it).
