Notation Musician with Boss GT8 box

Hi:

Here is my configuration:

PC<-->USB_to_Midi cable<-->Boss GT-8<-->Electric guitar

The GT-8 box has a midi in/out jack, of where the USB_to_midi cable is connected to.

I have Notation Musician 2.0 installed on my Windows XP PC. I want NM to record my notes I solo play with my guitar. Is this possible? If so, what setup/configuration steps I need to follow? I was able to setup NM2.0 to recognize the GT8 box. But, that's as far as I can go.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Peter,

Your configuration sounds right, but Musician doesn't have a recording feature. You'll need to use Composer if you want to record into a file. You can try out the trial version of Composer from www.notation.com/Download.htm and see if your setup works with that.

ttfn,

Thanks Sherry for a quick response. I will try it tonight. Do you have any specify instructions, like setup/configuration on NC, on how to accomplish what I wan to do?

Sherry:
OK, I will surely update how it will go.

Thanks.

Hi Sherry:

I tried the configuration below, but it didn't work. The NC recognized the device, but when I played my guitar, the recording red button didn't light up, indicating it didn't pick up any signal from the GT-8 box.

I used Notation Composer 2.0, on my PC.

The configuration below worked, ie, the Notation Composer 2.0 captures the notes I played on my keyboard.

Any more tips would be appreciated.
