Re: Roland Synths (GR20, 33, and 55)

Thanks for the info.  The M13 stuff has worked fine for tracking single note harmonica, but it isn't always the sound I am after.  It doesn't have things like piano, horns, organ, etc.

Anyways, I would love some of the sounds I've heard on YouTube (assuming they work with chords and harmonica).

No pitch to midi converter will work with chords.
(in a guitar synth, there's a converter for each string)

 Assuming it would work with harmonica and my vocalizations, it seems worth checking out.  Any thoughts on the GR-20?  I am most intrigued by the bass, organ, piano...I am confused by the pick-up part.  

The only way to find out is to try.

The

sonuus peterson g2m

is cheap enough to give it a whirl.

One problem is that pitch detectors rely on the attack of
the guitar to tell them a new note has started, so you probably
have to use a special playing technique to simulate that.

Another thing is that the G2m will only be happy with pitch bends
of exactly a tone, or under.
