I too have owned a MIDI guitar since the 80's and an AKAI EWI4000s
since 2006. Needless to say I prefer the EWI for all synth playing.
Never use the MIDI guitar, except as electric guitar. When patching
around with MIDI arpeggiator stuff I rarely bother to turn on a piano
style keyboard because it is faster to simply play the notes on the
computer keyboard :-))
With Logic 9 you can pop in a mic and whistle a melody and have it
converted to MIDI - or push a button to have it chopped up into audio
samples and transformed into a sampler instrument patch plus a MIDI
sequence to drive sound. I generally think all kinds of cheating
inspires great music!
