This video is a demonstration of the capabilities of the Godin Multiac Concert Grand Guitar in it's Midi capacity. Custom RMC electronics with 13-pin connector for direct control of Roland GR Series and Axon AX100 guitar synths.I am using a Roland GR55 Guitar Synthesiser as a midi outlet only (not using the patches/sounds on this occasion). From there I run a midi out into my RME Fireface 802 audio interface into Cubase Pro 9 (DAW).
I have demonstrated some different sound patches/samplers from Native Instruments Kontakt 5 Sample Player; Session Horns Pro, Vocalise 1(Heavyosity), Grandeur and The Gent pianos, FM8 synth and Session Strings pro. In addition I have used Steinberg's Halion Symphonic Orchestra and UVI's Gypsy Jazz sampler. Finally I played the Flugalhorn patch from Blues Street Brass by Indigenus.
If you would like to find out more about me, please visit my website on; http//www.keepingguitar.co.uk
or http//www.keepingmusic.co.uk
For the most impatients, he plays:
Choir 3:25 - Accordeon at 5:22 - Piano at 7:40 - 8:37 - 9:25 - Full Brass 11:14
Strings 13:09 - Synth 14:38 - Bass 15:45 - Flugehorn 17:26 😉
Thank you.
Thank u asf!
Thanks!!😜
Not all heroes wear capes!
Really what a windbag. I wanted to find out about this instrument but this prissy pommy wouldnt shut his stupid mouth
Dude, seriously? I can now compose all the parts to a full band using the only instrument I know how to play: the guitar? This is simply awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
simplestrum
If you can play a guitar you can play a keyboard, all the notes are laid out in front of you.
You can but it won’t sound authentic. Digital will never truly replace actual analog sounds.
hehe scary
I thoroughly agree with you about the Multiac's versatility, I used mine a 1993 model to create my Christmas album as a gift for fellow church member using instrument sounds from instruments I don't play, it delights me greatly.

Its just wonderful to watch videos such as these, beautifully performed and edited, and presented by someone I can assure everybody is a master of his craft!
But pronounces Vocalise wrong lol
11:11 The brass really sounds phenomenal.
"...and who wouldn't want to be a full brass section?" So true, especially for us trumpet players (probably all brass) who are used to only having control over an individual stream of sound.
I believe he said it is with Kontakt 5's Session Horns Pro. Thanks for the demo and information!
you are totaly right the demonstrateur have to rewiew his copie it's a pitie
I tried one of these recently and was really impressed at how pronounced the hammer-ons and pull-offs were through a BOSS Synth pedal and PA.
Wow, Andrew, this is one of the most inspiring videos I have seen for a long time. Thanks.
Thanks so much Joop. Glad you liked it.
Thanks for a most constuctive demo, very easily understandable. And for your good sense of humor. Happy new year
Thanks so much
the piano was absolutely amazing
Wonderful sounds made to sound simple by your expertise. Thankyou, you are a real musician.
Please, could you let me know the name of the last song/Adagio you played on this video? Thanks!
That is my recording of the Adagio (2nd movement) of the Concerto D'Aranjuez by Rodrigo. I also have a video of me performing it live on my UA-cam channel. Funny angle but the music is all there.
I haven't realized such a possibilities !!! Impressive.
Wonderful demo of what the guitar can do Andrew! Gonna have to get one!
thanks for that...man that looks like hours of fun!
Got one of these amazing instrument ever adore it for all thank you
The Flugelhorn sounds fantastic ❤
I think this is a good work. Interesting.
When I started guitar i used the vinyl record keeping on again and again. Prehistoric times !
Thank you so much Andrew! Best Regards.
Thanks so much
I think that You are a very pleasant & Great Teacher, Sir. Yes, more Tutorials, please. Thanks :)
Wow ... so very helpful ... thank you very much!!
You're very welcome!
Very well presented demonstration Andrew. Thoroughly enjoyable - I am acoustic player and all this is very new to me. Keep up the good work.
Glad it was helpful!
not often am I impressed but you sir and your sounds are very impressive..
Thanks so much for your kind comments.
That's very inspiring! Thanks!
Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Nice video. Keep up the good work. Thanks mate.
Thanks so much
Really nice explanation of the usage with the synth out. I have the ACS-SA Slim and I absolutely love it. I can't wait until I can get a synth for it. Question - are you able to go out from the GR 55 and into your computer rig to access the instrument plugins? Or are those patches in the synth itself?
The GR-55 is great, I have one too and use it with the xtSA KOA and love that too.
A guitar being a piano sounds way better than a piano being a guitar.
Kenneth Hildebrand, always.
Unless you can find great synthesizers, they're very on-par.
There's some extremely good guitar plugins now tbh
They call those harpsichords. :-)

😁😁😁
Very well done, to see a concert musician with one of these setups in his hands makes this more understandable. I have to ask, if you could give me an idea, in very round numbers, what a setup similar to yours including the guitar might cost?
The guitar alone is $1,039 on Amazon.
Really thank you for your good review. it will be good works to me. Have a good day ^^
Thats PERFECT! I am going to put one of those Guitars on my Wish List (which I actually have made one awhile ago). Andrew You have Taught me SO MUCH by this Video Sir! I UNDERSTAND! I have been having an Illiteracy regarding MIDI, and havent done anything with it in my Studio (except I got the cable hooked up from My Tascam DP24 to Interface) And I got a new pair today for My Keyboars to my Interface BUT, i didnt know WHAT I was going to do it after that because I didnt get it, but now I do! That Is SWEEPING, with Your Guitar, now THAT, I Can Do! ...I just Got some MAGIX VSTs...that work the same way that Youre demonstrating (besides being Accompaniment, that I'd have to Accompany, rather) AND since My Instrument is the Guitar, that would be perfect for me.!....I will attempt to use my (cheapy) Casio Keyboard now with The VSTs )casio is Midi capable though). Now I know I say, "cheapy" or inexpensive", but I really Do Appreciate my Gear & I know that with FX like these, My Music will be Better & beautiful too, I hope. Thanks Andrew!
awesome, wonderful, amazing , and many more...
Thanks. So much fun!
Love it.
Thank you for the Demo, Andrew!!!.
I am thinking on buying a Godin Grand Concert SA and the second step I think will be a Roland GR55.
me too :)
Nice demo! Did you ever try to assign a different MIDI channel to each strings? I built my own horn section in Kontakt (with flute on the high e string, trumpet on the b string, etc.) - sounds even more convincing the the Session Horns. ;-)
Nice tip, thank you Christoph. Will give it a shot.
That sounded great! I own a Godin LGX-SA and the Multiac, I love them both. They are the best-kept secrets in guitars and I don't understand why. They're made in Canada with top-grade components and woods. The SA has 3 outputs (Electric, Acoustic, and GK), the fretwork is precise and they sound incredible. The price is right as well.
Thanks so much.
ThankYou Andrew, Love this Video. I've watched it & shared it numerous times including this Evening, God Bless & Cheers ✝️😊🎵🎹😎
Thank you so much for your kind words. Glad you like the video.
God Bless & Totally Protect You & Yours Sir In JESUS Name ✡✝️🎵 God Bless
wow ... this is amazing!
Thanks so much
Wonderful Thank you very much
Thank you too!
WOW! what a tool for production! yes, some sounds obviously more digital than others but brings new meaning to 1 man band/orchestra. great vid. thx!
Thanks glad it was of interest to you.
Excellent. Thank you. I've not played for thirty years but this has stimulated me to take up guitar playing once more. Out of interest, can one do anything like this on an iPad?
I played guitar for years but eventually stopped playing when I began getting into the piano. Recently I have wanted to get back into the guitar and now as a music producer am considering buying a midi guitar. Should I buy a guitar especially designed for sending midi or is there some sort of midi add on I could attach to one of my old electric guitars? Specifically, is there an add on for guitars that aren't midi capable which track as well as guitars with native midi?
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
You're very welcome
Thanks for sharing this demo...simply awesome. I have a Godin Multiac but to do what you are doing, I need the hardware/software. Are there alternative HW/SW for the amateurs like me? Thanks
You don't need something as expensive as Cubase 9, you can use Garage band. Audio and midi interfaces can be picked up cheaply on eBay. You do, however, need the Roland gr55 or equivalent to transfer the 13din cable into a midi signal.
Great video! What interface are you using for the 13 pin cable coming from the Godin guitar to control the midi instruments in your daw? I looked at your Amazon gear page but didn't see it there.
ua-cam.com/video/5Ti09xJOQWQ/v-deo.html i try to show the set up in this video. The 13 pin goes into the Roland GR55 and transfers it into a midi signal into Cubase DAW.
I notice you were using vibrato on your guitar while playing a nice flugelhorn sound, is that recognized by your midi setup or just programmed into the Roland sound module?
I think that was more instinct. However, it does seem to follow the vibrato movement. i play trumpet and try to phrase like i would with the the vibrato and breathing. This particular Kontakt library seems to flow with it.
Thanks
Thank you!
Thanks so much
Hello Mr. Andrew.
Thanks for the great video, which helped me on the desicion to buy an Godin Nylon string guitar.
I am trying out now Terratech AXON 100 as MIDI-converter. Do you have any expirience with this device? Always there are latency problems, any idea to fix them?
'Thank you SIR
I have not sounds interesting though.
I need this for playing bass live for hours without exhaustion. lol
DigiTech DROP pedal might be a cheaper / easier way to go
I dont know why anyone would choose to ever play bass as their only instrument. I was already a guitarist and keyboardist before I sat in on bass one night because we needed one. Even at that me and the trumpet player used to switch back and forth because BASS IS SO BORING.
That's awesome, thanks......The numbers of strings is very limited when i play midi guitar using midi instruments plugings. Only can performance D,G,B, and E... No lower E, and A strings. There is any adjustments or set up?
Hi Andrew, nice playing but excellent explaining how things work.
I have a similar set up and I’ve just started using my Mac with a midi interface for recording.I wondered how you link the sounds from the purchased plug ins to your recording software? I’m using logic x. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Hi nicky. Thanks for your kind words. i have recently done some follow up films demonstrating this. Please check them out. I am about to do a series on this guitar alongside the GR55.
About 30 yrs ago I got to pick around a friend's gibson,I believe was an e's 335,that had some fancy electronics in it also.i remember 1 setting was you could make it sound like an organ. Crazy what kind of electronics can make a guitar do.neat video
Thanks Dean
thank you so very much, I hope to learn more from you, I do play guitar, and spent thousands of dollars trying to be ahead of the midi gear, which Roland introduced in my days at my 24 track studio.the2inch tape and analoge equipment just were not compatible. now, we are getting somewhere.
welcome aboard!!
Thank you so much for demonstrating. Very nicely done. What format(s) are natively produced, ie High Bitrate MP3 and/or WAV?
With cubase you have the option of mixing down to any format.
Andrew, I am a Composer and produce my own music. I have been considering on attempting to Obtain The "Audio Production Certificate" from FULL SAIL University (Florida) (Online)..its a 5 Month Course that is divided into 5 categories. I do Understand 4 of them..but the 5th is MIDI.... and besides, as an Audio Engineer, I am aware of the need to be basically familiarized with MIDI, as well as any of the other components of having my Own Studio. You have helped to Breakthru here, to Understand & Appreciate MIDI as the result...I always thought it was Tedious & a drudgery from what Ive seen. I was avoiding it. (lol) Thanks
Love the tech!
Thanks so much
This is CRAZY COOL
Thanks so much
Fantastic video and music, Andrew! Thanks for sharing. Question: have you tried the Boss GP-10 for tracking with the Multiac?
Not yet!
You are a fantastic player, the samples sound great, I don't really like the guitar articulation as a controller for these sounds.
Thanks for the excellent demonstration. Quick question, if I just want to use the Multiac as a MIDI controller through a DAW to trigger Native Instruments Komplete Ultimate libraries (and bypassing a Roland GR or Axon), what's the best way to handle this? I'm using a Presonus Audio interface. Thanks!
This is not possible I'm afraid, as the 13pin din cable that comes from the guitar has to be converted into midi via the Roland synth. The 13 pin din is not an independant midi cable. Sorry.
I have a Casio MIDI guitar, which I haven't played for several years, but after watching this video I think I will give it another go. My MIDI setup does allow for vibrato if required on strings, but it tends not to track too well, so probably best not to use it. Also you can assign a different instrument to each string, so for example you could have bass guitar on the six and five strings, then another instrument for the other four strings.
The strange thing was when I played in a live situation, with a piano sound, nobody really noticed it was coming from a guitar. Good in one way I suppose, but bad in another! Perhaps they weren't really listening. Oh well, I still got paid!
Anyway thanks Andrew for the video. Apart from getting different sounds, you have two adjust your playing to sound like a particular instrument.
right I understand everything you just said.
Very well done, Andrew. You showed what a powerful creative tool a guitar can be in arranging and layering sounds. I used to own a Godin midi guitar and Roland synth, but like so many musicians, had to sell it off when I hit some hard times... Of course I regret it now, but maybe someday soon, I'll be able to afford another Godin/Roland midi guitar rig... For all the haters out there. It's just wonderful to be able to create multi-instrument demos or ideas. When performing "LIVE!" one has to be careful to not over-do any of this because it can get old quickly and rather "Gimmicky" ... I LOVE to perform with other musicians, but let's face it... Most clubs and venues have paying the same sh*t money for 30 plus years, and sometimes it's just not possible to hire a keyboard player, horn players, bass etc... It's a wonderful tool for being able to translate an instrument that you play exceptionally well to other instruments and creates even more inspiration for writers and producers and gives "LIVE!" performers some compelling and provocative backing sounds... .You've done a great and play very tasty. Thanks for the video, mate! Cheers!
Thanks so much Henry.
Andrew: this is a great video. Thanks for getting me started. Finally, i got time to work on it. I still have the Godin SA guitar which I connect directly to a Roland Juno DS with all those modern sound as compared to the Other synth. I also got a Fishman triple play which as a usb port so it extremely easy to connect to Any computer and other synthesizer. I moved to Logic Pro which has must better support than Cubase. Now, i play music with midi arrangements improvising on top and selecting instruments as you need.
Glad it was helpful. best of luck.
I own the steel string version with the lipstick Seymour Duncan pickup. They're well crafted instruments, no issues in 8+ years. My takeaway from owning one is that they do everything you can think of pretty well. No real outstanding features other than the vast array of things you can do with it. The midi is a tricky beast, you have to alter your playstyle to suit the type of instrument you're trying to emulate, so a bit of a learning curve. Brass always sounds unacceptably bad to me. Strings are difficult to make smooth progressions with. That's really just a midi problem in general though. Human articulation can't be done justice with samples. The pianos can sound really good, the Rhodes is one of my favs. I bought it to play in a cover band for maximum versatility and it achieved that competently. Its also a great studio Swiss army knife.
*edit: I just recently changed out the Duncan lipstick for a purple EMG lace sensor and I'm much happier with the tone. The lace is much more crisp and versatile than the lipstick, which was pretty muddy. The swap was very difficult though. Both pickups were an extremely tight fit and there was very little slack in the wiring to work with. I suggest taking it to a professional for such work. The electronics and wiring inside are all very well done, but it's obvious they didn't have modifications in mind.
Always good to hear another midi guitarist. I nearly bought the Godin concert, but it had a note that resonated too much compared to the rest of the notes (B on the D string). It was so annoying as it was a pain to eq and record/perform with.
I had an godin ACS for years. I had to sell it when I stopped using Roland stuff and started using traditional nylon guitars. I really miss my ACS godin, but always prefered the more hollow Multiacs.
Love your sounds. When I grow up I want session horns and Vocalise!
When I close my eyes and listen, the tones are undoubtably piano, brass, synth, strings, electric bass, etc., but the phrasing is awkward. I can totally see using this to sketch out ideas for a demo. However, I would still have real players come in to overdub almost everything, because the midi parts sound so clumsy.
I agree there is nothing like a live performer. However, following the sketched out ideas, if you go into the DAW and tweak around with the midi a little working on velocity and tempo mapping, you can get a very good final result. These videos are just demoing the initial phase.
It's called the matrix for a reason
Great, thanks
Thanks so much
Je voudrais savoir comment vous faites pour jouer les plugins destinés à jouer avec le clavier midi avec la guitare ??? C’est vraiment génial ce que vous faites
I perform solo a lot with loops and have been considering a midi enabled instrument for a while, interesting video, thank you.
Glad you found it useful.
It looks from cursory investigation like it's the nylon string that has midi capability but not the steel string - is that the case? Definitely going to be re-watching this vid a few times - the demo of the libraries you're using is really interesting too. @@AndrewKeeping
I have been a songwriter for decades and made 16 or so studio recordings using nashville musicians mostly in the country and americana vain. I have only heard of midi and was mostly just confused and curious about midi. I have built my own home studio over the last six years and of course did quite a bit of research on what is available these days and of course have heard of many of the companies you have utilized in this video . But this is the first time I have actually heard any of the actual instruments and I am totally blown away by what you have exposed me too lol I never dreamed it was this convincing. wow!! is all I can say and where in the hell have I been? I guess I was pretty well convinced I would have to start taking keyboard lessons etc. I do play guitar and I have heard you could use guitar as a controller but I have always thought it would be quite "cheesy" for lack of a better word and would be used at best to express arrangement ideas. I am so glad you have opened up my mind FINALLY to this amazing technology and I thank you so much. Excellent video nice playing
Thanks for your comments. I am glad it helped.
At 5:26, or so, when you were playing the accordion patch, it seemed like you still had the guitar part audible for a moment. During that time it seemed like there was substantial latency. Did I perceive that correctly? If so, is the latency related to your DAW processing in general or was it related to the the Godin/Roland/Cubase chain specifically. It would be a bit hard to let the setting inspire ones playing if one can't hear the results real-time for say improvisation. You'd really have to listen to your live guitar sound while recording the MIDI info for accordion playback. Right?
Thanks for your comments Craig. There was no latency to speak of on the accordion patch. What you are hearing of the guitar on its own are the guitar bass notes playing outside of the range of the accordion. It is player error not latency. The fingers/chords on the first three strings sound with the accordion chords exactly in time.Good observation though!
Is there any possibility of a basic set up? By that I mean, what would be the minimum PC software? Would the NI Kontact be enough to do some initial experiments using a such a guitar? I speak as a professional guitarist who has often wanted to try this sort of thing. My PC is about 3 years old, and is only 32 bit, would Kontact run on it, I wonder? I like Godin guitars, indeed I have an old Seagull cedar s60 I bought way back in 1997 in LA that was my main acoustic for 15 years plus. I must try these new Godins, though, asap.
The very basic set up would be using the Godin (midi) guitar and a Roland Gr55 or such synth. The only way to transfer to midi is via the back of the synth module. It relays the 13 pin din signal into midi. From here you can run into Garage band or any DAW (digital Audio Workstation). There are cheaper options than Cubase Pro9. You can use Cubase Elements which is a fraction of the cost. From here you can use and sample engine to create sounds. It does not have to be NI Kontakt 5. Google the options for less expense. I started recording using 1 microphone, a £30 M-audio audio interface and Cubase elements. I just learnt how to get the best sounds using this equipment and learnt what I needed to buy in order to improve my sound and compositions. Still a long way to go.
I have two Godin electric guitars that came equipped with the Fishman Triple Play Midi controller. Tracks perfectly and wireless. I use it all the time as a controller for VSTs inside of Ableton. Just wondering what your thoughts are between the Fishman Triple Play and the MIDI technology in this guitar.
I wound up buying a Godin Grand Concert
The Addictive Keys piano is the best one I have ever used.
VERY cool BUT you can do all this with the MIDI 2 software with normal pickups...and I own 2 Godin Multi Ac's.
Very interesting video. Liked and subscribed!
THANKS
Great vid. I' ve a godin multiacnylon encore, but after your demostration, I' d like to change it with a midi model (like acs). What do I need more (I don' t have your fantastic hands)? Can you suggest me a sinth model? Sorry for my english. Ciao, Nico
Using the custom RMC electronics with 13-pin connector for direct control, you can plugin to Roland GR Series and Axon AX100 guitar synths. All Good!
Nice video, Andrew. I've been using MIDI since it was introduced, and MIDI guitar as soon as it became actually useful, and I don't think I'd want to attempt to explain this stuff to anyone unfamiliar with MIDI.
Nicola, since the Axon is no longer made, you're pretty much stuck with the GR-55 as the "best" MIDI guitar synth, which isn't a bad way to go by any means. I don't think there is anything else on the market that does nearly as much nor as well, and the direct to USB Fishman setup is still not what I'd call perfect, but it's getting there.
HOWEVER, you might want to look at some other 13 pin MIDI guitars, Godin still makes the Multiac Jazz steel string, 25 1/2" scale, or the ACS Slim, nylon string, but slimmer neck than the standard classical 2" which is what Andrew is playing here, I believe... He can correct me if it's the Slim. There are also other Godin models, but beware, unless they say "SA" (synth access) they won't have the 13 pin output. The free-standing Roland GK-3 tracks quite well when installed properly, the string height - distance to the PU poles, being of paramount importance. Use the gauge that came wth it!
Not all of the Godins use the RMC pickup/preamp system, and a few might be LR Baggs or Graph Tech systems, both of which are very good now, but some of the early installations were not as good as today's and not as good as the RMC, which has worked perfectly from day one. Also, Carvin makes a very nice Graph Tech equipped guitar, basically 2 models of different body style, I have the SH65 (resembles a Tele), as well as a Godin ACS Slim, and both track equally well. I also use GK-3 PUs on several axes I like. In 2003, I started with a Multiac Jazz and a GR-30, then upgraded to a GR-33 with a VG-88v2, and finally got the GR-55, which I'm just starting to get into.
MIDI guitar has come a long way in the past decade or so, and now if you can't make it work to perfection for you, it's your setup and your playing, not the MIDI gear's fault. Good luck! 😎

Please forgive my ignorance, but if you could indulge a beginner's question and you seem quite knowledgeable: what are the minimal components I would need to get into MIDI guitar? If you were advising a complete beginner (to MIDI but not guitar) what guitar, controllers, and other devices and apps are the bare essentials to get started? Also, are there apps that can transcribe the notes being played on the guitar into an actual score with staves, dynamics of played notes, etc? Is there a good website that I could do some research on my own on this issue that you'd recommend? Thanks for considering this, and again, apologies for my lack of knowledge about this, but it's something I've been considering. I'm grateful for any guidance you can provide.
I own a Godin ACS (Black Pearl), and I like it very much. That said, perhaps you don't even need another Godin model to use MIDI. There's a software called "MIDI Guitar" by Jam Origin (www.jamorigin.com/) which is very very good. You can convert any guitar sound (and other sounds as well) to MIDI - without the need for a guitar synth. If you plan to play sounds on the computer (like in Kontakt or some soft synth), the only real advantage of a dedicated guitar synth (and the 13 PIN DIN cable) is that you can assign a different MIDI channel to every string of your guitar. This is impossible with audo-to-MIDI software.
Fascinating...now I know how Thomas Bergersen does it!
Thanks so much
Great video. I tried the GR55 with the Godin LGX-SA, fab analogue guitar which I still have but had to get rid of the GR55 as the guitar was triggering all sorts of ghost notes despite modifying the individual string sensitivity, it was a disaster, such a pity. Still, it encouraged me to take up piano... So every cloud.... This video is a great example of how it should sound. 👍🏻
Thanks so much.
Didn't know Ewan McGregor taught guitar! Great video, would like to play with a midi guitar someday
You should!
Great video! Is there a way to control midi automation like sustain, modulation and expression wile you are playing?
ua-cam.com/video/j1PK2AHykRQ/v-deo.html
It is a very good question and important point. I use this as an option, plus I use intuitive instrumental plugins like these amazing products ua-cam.com/video/IurBmIKONPY/v-deo.html I do have other videos demo some of my favourite tools ua-cam.com/video/5Ti09xJOQWQ/v-deo.html
Amazing!
Thanks flat. Great fun
Hola amigo soy guitarrista flamenco me gustaría me aconsejara que debo comprar para poder producir con la guitarra sonido de mi protools y de kontak un abrazo
Do you have a specific video that shows how to adjust the single string sensitivity through the GR-55?
Hi Andrew! Nice demo. I have the Godin MCGG as well as the GR-55. Also a Cubase software used for Fucosrite Scarllet interface. Frankly speaking, haven't been able to use my GR-55 as is complicated for me. Normally aged people like me have problem with software issues. My question is, while reading tens of pages of manual instructions Not that easy to learn, what do you suggest as a shortcut to come up close to what you nicely showed in your video demo? Thanks in advance for your patience. Regards, Kourosh
What is the MCGG? - You need a Godin... SA (Synth Access) Guitar to be able to plug the 13 pin cable to the guitar. If you guitar is SA enabled it should be easy to set it up like this: plug the 13 pin cable to the guitar and the GR-55, the MIDI out of the GR-55 to a MIDI interface connected to your computer, a MIDI Keyboard or MIDI expander. On the computer you need a software synth which is configured to take the MIDI signals from the connected MIDI interface... Good luck!
Thanks so much
very entertaining mate ...played guitar all my life ...wow , heck I have to have my daughter help me send an attachment to my e-mails ,ha ha never mind this stuff ..it looks mind-boggling. I love the look and sound of those Godins though !!!
This is awesome
Thanks for your comments
Hi Andy,
just stomped on your clip.. do you use it for writing tabs? With which tools - if?
Regards and thank you.
I sometimes write it into my scores for improvisations. For this i use Sibelius. I can then write it into notation and copy into tabs.
Thanks for awesome video, please how can get those sounds (Kontakt) sounds?.
Check description
suggestions on complete an ddiffernt sounds in the same song that can be switched with food pedals ?
That was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing that with us. Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith Noneya
Muito Obrigado Andrew
You're welcome.
Great video, nice sounds. I would have enjoyed more on the connections and setup of GR 55
Noted!
Could you explain how you set up the midi signal form the fireface 802 to the DAW? Is it more complex than going via USB? Why not use USB from the GR55 instead? thank you
ua-cam.com/video/5Ti09xJOQWQ/v-deo.html
This video covers that a little more.
Can you help me minimize 55 gr. since I have a Godin guitar. big concert because it does me score on the piano? no deceased notes, thank you for the help
I have a GR-55 and the Godin. Can I pipe the GR-55 directly into the Mac via a USB interface? Is there an inexpensive interface that I could use if that doesn’t work? Can one use Logic Pro for this with sound libs that come with that DAW?
Absolutely you can. Logic or Reaper would work
Excellent video, Andrew, I have had a GR 55 sitting under my desk for about 3 years while I struggled with a keyboard. I will in future leave the keyboard to the key players and I will go back to my guitar, can you run through the hardware setup to get those results?
I run the Godin via a 13din cable into the GR55. Midi out the back into my audio interface (RME Fireface 802), in to my DAW (Cubase Pro9). In the DAW I use Kontakt 5 and UVI Workstations to run the VST instruments. Hope this helps. Good luck!
I have a slightly different setup, Fender Roland Ready Strat with 13 din to GR55, midi out of GR55 to midi in on Komplete 6 audio interface, using Kontakt 5 in Cubase 9.5 (recently swapped from Sonar Platinum as Gibson are no longer supporting that program). Loading a module in Kontakt 5, say Grand Pianos, With these connections I am not getting any sound trough the DAW? any suggestions
WoW!!!!!!!!! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much
Yes Im a Guitarist too though I can tickle the ivorys on a keyboard to season my Music
Hi, forgive my lack of background in electronica, but how to know what is the midi guitar sound like by itself, are the other instruments/software that its connected to make a difference. I'd love to hear what the guitar sounds like on its own, or is that not how this thing works. Thank you.
to hear the sound of the Godin as a Classical Guitar you can hear it on ua-cam.com/video/kkUr0PH7xlo/v-deo.html
