Scoring music direct from guitar
I've posted this on the RECORD forum as well as here. If posting on two forums is verboten, please forgive me and delete whichever one seems more logical.
I was talking with a friend who said he has a "box" that plugs into his guitar (1/4") and carries the signal to a music scoring program (in his case, Sibelius, I think), actually scoring as he plays. I believe he called it a Firepod. When I search for "Firepod," I find a pretty complex (and expensive) unit from Presonus now called the "FP-10," a complete recording sustem (which has been discontinued). I'm really looking for a simple scoring system that I can use informally with a guitar; once again, the end result needs to be a printable music score, not simply a sound or sequencer file. I don't really want to use the guitar as a primary controller, but maybe that's what it really is (the signal into the "box" is apparently carried by a simple guitar cable, not even TRS, then it goes out to the computer via firewire). It makes sense that such an accessory would exist, but I can't seem to find it on the Web. I looked at an AGF Firepod thread from early 2011, but the topic wasn't relevant to me. Ideas? CHEAP ideas? EASY ideas? I'm too old for a long learning curve. THANKS!
