Its waaaaay more than a polyphonic ebow!!!! How can you say
that...Its not just able to ADD infinate sustain but to reduce it,
therfore making more banjo-like tones
admittedly 6K seems too
much, but im sure thats the R&D talking...
some of the videos
ive seen have the players explain how the guitar actually changes its FEEL
as it changes attack modes. This interests me. Although Ive said this
before on the list - I have a fernandez pickup on my baritone
guitar, and when it is on (almost all the time) my guitar "comes alive",
and pushes back. Anyone who has worked under extreme volume levels (but
WITH earplugs) will know, that is a very satisfying feeling. Im sure that
with less attack (more sustain) comes a relaxed, wild and free playing
style, wheras short decay (with no accidental re-triggering as with my
midi guitar sounds) will give a more precise and careful playing
style.
Incidentaly, can anyone with the V System tell me, what is
it like to play thru it with loud volume, does it still react as a guitar,
or is it more like a midi guitar.
Ive ben considering this system for
ages, but I really donīt care to get a system just cos it prtends to me
just like the same combination of strat and marshall as Hendrix used on
All along the watchtower.. god no.. what is the point (unless you are in
the band that plays on the danish/norwegian channel...) But Im very
interested if I can just plug in my baritone, and make a new instrument.
Anyway, back to thread, I agree with Toby, any day now Im sure
Behringer... I mean someone will bring out a cheaper version.. Ha
ha..

guitar.

Moog Guitar
At first glance, $6K seems like a lot
for a one-trick pony. I can create more interesting sounds when I plug
my guitar into my laptop and use max/msp. Now that I think of
it, the sound clips on the moog website make it sound like just an
over glorified slide guitar or guitar using an ebow. I was expecting
some fat moog like sounds coming out of a guitar...like a Roland GR300
but a lot better.
