Anyone can recommend a (cheap & small) midi keyboard i can use to set user chords?
I just looked and didn’t find one with trs midi out.
Mmmm… Any MIDI keyboard will allow you to input whatever cords your fingers are capable of pushing in ) Or do you need the ability to somehow store those chords and then trigger them with a single note/button press?
I’m searching an solution that i can connect easily to Ribbons and Ghosts.
I looked for some midi Keyboards and none of them had an trs out.
But i don’t know much about midi keyboards.
I use this cable with sparks to a midi keyboard
I am pretty sure Its the same with ribbons and ghosts

If the looper is set to Pre and you switch the internal exciter to pluck/strike or air while Ghosts is being driven by MIDI notes (MIDI takeover mode), then yes, the looper will jump from Pre to Post. Any loops you already have running will move from the input of the resonators to their output.
We do this because, with the internal exciter active and Touch set to Pre, the Touch modes would otherwise do nothing: you’ve told Ghosts to generate its own sound instead of using the audio input, so there’s no signal at the Pre point for Touch to affect. To avoid confusion (“why don’t the Touch modes work with the internal exciter?”), Ghosts automatically routes Touch to the output when an internal exciter is selected, so it behaves the way most people expect.

Arturia Keystep or Keystep 37 both have TRS and DIN MIDI out. They can be found for $75 - $140 depending on the model and condition.
If using TRS MIDI, you’ll need an 1/8" to 1/4" adapter (basically, a headphone adapter).
If using DIN MIDI, you can pick up a DIN to TRS adapter from our webstore.

Excited to get my hands on a Ghosts in a week or two!
I’d like to use Ghosts mostly as a percussive accompaniment at the end of my guitar chain.
Is it possible to pass audio through while the internal drum machine plays the resonators?
In the manual, there’s a section on trails that makes it seem like this is doable:
3. BUFFERED BYPASS WITH TRAILS
Another silent option. Your input signal is unaffected, but Ghosts still acts as a sound source , so you’ll continue to hear resonator and reverb decay, loops, and drums patterns.
So if I set up a drum pattern, tuned the resonators, and hit Touch to play, this would continue to play if I bypassed the pedal? And I could run my guitar signal through unaffected alongside the drums + resonators?

Yes exactly! That is how it works when set to Buffered Bypass With Trails.

I am envious of you all with Batch #1 or Batch #2 incoming. I haven’t gnawed all of my fingernails down yet, but getting close waiting for Batch #3 orders to open up. Happy Thanksgiving for the American folks, and have a good weekend to others!
Until today, I’d never heard of Ghosts or Kinotone. I was stoked to see a compact physical modeling hardware synthesizer in a pedal form factor. This is perfect for my needs (modulating the timbre of acoustic instruments live.) If I hadn’t been reading up on how to program my own Karplus-Strong patches in the EagenMatrix, I would never have stumbled into here. This would have been so much simpler. 
Well, if there’s ever a batch 3, count me in.

Hello, 
How will we be notified regarding batch 3, via e-mail or just with a new thread popping up here in the forum?
- How many units will be available in the next batch?
I have a feeling I might just miss it and when I finally get around to order it, it will already be sold out! (Probably in a few hours 
)
But all in all I’ve never wanted any guitar pedal as much as Ghosts! 
Truly amazing!
