MIDI Guitar Hero?
No, not Pat Metheney, silly.
Engadget is reporting that the PS3 version of the new Guitar Hero franchise installment can import MIDI tracks for use as songs in the actual game (boo for no Xbox 360 functionality). Although I'm guessing the MIDI synths in the game won't match up to the pro sounds from the other songs, it does provide independent artists a chance to get their music on the game, if only through external downloaded content (and with no vocals - take note, future Joe Satrianis of the world!).
Also, the new IMN podcast is up - download here or listen at the site (or on WFYI HD2 Thursdays at 4pm).
