Following on from the success of the G2M, the B2M brings affordable
and reliable MIDI capability to bass guitar. We have been inundated
with requests for the B2M and we are sure this will bring delight
to bassists the world-over. With ultra-low-latency, and unmatched
affordability, the B2M breaks new ground in MIDI performance for
bass players - it will even track a low B (which is only 30Hz)!
- Any electric bass guitar can be used as a solo MIDI controller
- No
instrument modifications or special pickups required
- Robust
note detection - minimises wrong notes
- Very low latency &
very fast tracking
- Fast, accurate MIDI pitch-bend or chromatic
mode
- Built-in tuner for standard bass guitar tuning (4–7
strings)
- Battery-powered with long battery life
- Compact,
lightweight and portable
Robust PerformanceResearch has shown us that the most important aspect for pitch-to-MIDI conversion is reliable and reproducible triggering of notes. While low-latency is important, robust triggering is the key to usability — you can easily adapt to some latency, but you cannot adapt to random, spurious notes.
By virtue of the unique, inherently robust technology used in the B2M™ you will be able to reliably generate accurate MIDI quickly and easily. Notes are generated exactly as played, and the nuances of your performance are captured with fast, accurate pitch-bend data. What’s more, you also get very low latency!
Built-in TunerThe built-in tuner uses our PULSAR™ tuning technology where the power LED doubles as a tuning indicator. This innovative tuner gives you a fast and accurate way to tune your bass guitar.
Instrument ThruFeaturing a high-impedance input circuit, the B2M™ won't sap your tone when using it "in-line" before your amp, or other effects pedals. You can then easily combine MIDI sounds with your normal bass sound for some exciting musical possibilities.
Improves Playing TechniqueFor optimal MIDI conversion, your playing needs to be clean and accurate. Accidental notes, resonating open strings and other sounds can often be converted into undesired MIDI notes. Often you don’t hear these when playing the bass on it's own, but you can detect them easily when listening live to the generated MIDI.
Striving to improve MIDI note accuracy, encourages clean picking and accurate fingering, with good control over non-sounding strings by damping them.
Not only will your MIDI output be more accurate, your normal playing will sound clearer and more professional. It’s like having a tutor sitting beside you giving you advice. It’s also great fun!
