At Frankfurt Musikmesse AXON Technologies, makers of Guitar to MIDI Systems are to announce the availability of the new PU100 Hex Pickup for AXON Systems.

It was developed in cooperation with renowned guitar pickup manufacturer Seymour Duncan. AXON Guitar to MIDI systems open up the world of MIDI to Guitar Players. With its tracking technology guitar players are able to play any synthesizer or virtual instrument with their favorite instrument, the guitar! Additionally AXON allows for programming music with sequencer software via MIDI as well.

According to Axon, the adjustable curvature of the pickup's magnets allows the pickup system to be installed on almost any steel-string guitar, whether electric or acoustic. A clearance of nine millimeters (0.354") between the normal pickup and bridge and ten millimeters (0.394") between body and strings are entirely sufficient for installing the pickup. AXON Technologies provides a big range of mounting hardware.

The PU 100 was developed by Seymour Duncan.
