FrançaisWhen performing with the original Mahavishnu Orchestra back in the early ’70s, John McLaughlin typically wielded a double-neck electric guitar (either a Gibson EDS-1275 or the ornately carved “Double Rainbow” built for him by Rex Bogue), plugged directly into towering Marshall amplifiers cranked loud enough to loosen fillings at a thousand paces.Since that time, McLaughlin has played a diverse variety of guitars – from electrics such as vintage Gibson Johnny Smith and Byrdland models, and his beloved ’72 Gibson ES-345 with a scalloped neck; to acoustics such as various Ovations and custom instruments hand built for him by luthier Abraham Wechter: including the “Our Lady,” the “Marielle,” and three Shakti models.

Doesn’t the GI-20 connect directly into the laptop via USB and not via the Firewire 410s midi ports, as your diagram suggests?

The Firewire 410 has MIDI I/O, so the GI-20 is connected to it directly, I speculate, so the 410 can be the master clock.
