Re: OT? Driving a VG unit and guitar synth



Two choices:

1. As Tony K said, a GPK-4, IF you can find one...and the last one I
saw was about $100 on eBay...they don't show up often.

2. A Roland US-20 (which I think is what you were talking about).
Again, hit eBay because $200 is ridiculous. You might also check
Daddy's Junky Music (http://www.daddys.com/) as I picked up a new one
in box for about $120 two years ago. People seem to be driving the
price up on these; I was shocked when I saw the new ones for around
$200 recently...

The GPK-4 is NOT a switch so much as more of a router...it's always
on; it DOES allow you to decide if you will be sending patch switches
or volume control switching. The US-20 is strictly an A/B switch.

I use both with the VG-8, the GR-1 and the GI-20 (which is running an 
XV2020).

YMMV.

Best,

Dennis
