If you go this route, may I also suggest the Yamaha G50. It too is a MIDI interface so it is a good choice if you already have synths and samplers that you like. The problem that I have with a lot of the newer Roland dedicated guitar synths is that they are pretty much a "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" deal. They aren't true MIDI translation devices. They track fine if you just want to play their own internal sounds, but if you try to MIDI out to other devices, forget it. (An ability you must have if you'd like to do stuff like trigger samplers or even ATTEMPT to record to a MIDI sequencer.) The Yamaha G50 is good. It uses the Axxon "neural net" technology, so it tracks almost as good as those high-end systems,(and I am a bass player who uses it on a 5-string) but you can usually find them used for a little more than the Roland GI10. It also uses the 13-pin connector, so you can use it with the GK2a, Yamahas G1D, the Axxon pickup, or any of the compatible piezo systems. >From: Pohon-Kelapa@t-online.de (Martin Tauchen) >Reply-To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >Subject: Re: Who knows which MIDI Guitar is cheap and useful? >Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2001 16:16:43 +0200 > >An optional way of Midi-Guitar is to use the Roland GK2A Pickup and the >Roland GI10 interface. >This device has no "Soundsection".nevertheless it is very flexible. >With this device you can Miditrigger all kinds of soundmodules.(You can do >it also with the a >full GR30 for example),but I didnīt wanted another synth,so I choosed the >GI10. >The thing I donīt like at GR1,GR09.GR30 and GR33 is the fact,that >manipulation of the sound is >not amazing.They are more presetplayers. >Try to get a used Ensoniq EPS16+R,this is a fine Sampler,wich offers the >GuitarMidiMonoMode. >The sounds are cool and the library is big.And it should be really cheap >now. >There are so many possibilities for used synths at a small price. > >Another Guitar Midi Interface is from AXXON,they trigger a little faster >as >the Rolands and have >more options.They use also the GK2A. > > >---------- > >Von: Goddess <thefates@earthlink.net> > >An: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > >Betreff: Re: Who knows which MIDI Guitar is cheap and useful? > >Datum: Don, 21.
