Showcasing modern audio-to-MIDI technology at GotGuitars 2026.

What happens when a guitar performance stops being just sound and becomes editable musical structure?

That question became the focus of a small live workshop hosted by Algoriffix at Gothenburg’s largest guitar fair, GotGuitars.

Why latency remains one of the hardest problems in modern audio-to-MIDI systems.

Latency remains one of the central challenges in real-time audio-to-MIDI systems, not because modern computers are too slow, but because musical information itself takes time to emerge from sound.

Turning a standard guitar signal into musical control data is far more difficult than it first appears.

Real-time guitar-to-MIDI conversion has fascinated musicians for decades. The idea is simple in principle: play a guitar and control synthesizers, virtual instruments, or notation software directly from the audio signal.

In practice, however, the problem is remarkably difficult.
