Still a legit sample triggering synth. Better accuracy and practical use-ivness than some of the newest offerings. At least that’s what I hope, because I just bought one. 🤞🏽
@@hammingus Hey!! It's still great. I did sell it though because the newest Gm-800 has the same level of tracking BUT it has better sounds and the ability to load new sounds to it. Still, it's a great synth. Better than the GR-55, tracking and usability wise.
@@ramroid Thanks!! Great to hear. Bought the GR-33 for what seems to be a bargain, so I'm looking forward to it. It will be kind of my entry into using a Guitar-Synth, though I played around with iPad and Software tracker a bit. Thanks a lot and all the best.
should've bought a VG-99 when they were readily available. But now I'm considering a GR-20 or 33 because they're available and inexpensive. Maybe I'll luck out and find a VG-99 or maybe even a VG-88...? Have to see.
Yes you do unless you have a guitar that has a 13 pin output (and a pickup „under the hood so to soeak), like the red godin (multiac) that is played in the video for example.
No. You don't. I had the GR20 (which sucked and went belly up recently). The GK3 pickup never worked right to begin with. Plus who wants to be tethered to one guitar ? Or bass in my case. I bought a Sonuus B2M analog to midi converter, plugged it into the midi in on the Roland and it worked immediately. No settings to change or configuration required.

Just did so too, waiting for it to arrive. What are your feelings about yours a year later? Cheers!

Get a GR-55, then you get both synth and guitar/amp modeling...
I feel silly. Do you need the GK separate pickup to 'plug' the guitar in? Im not sure how to connect using the 13pin cable? anyone know?
