"OF COURSE, I'LL PLUG IT INTO THE SEGA MEGADRIVE SYNTH, WHAT WAS I THINKING??" hahahahahahaha
ofcourseee!!!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER you are an inspiration sir and your songs like Modern Gas and Human Procrastination are truly great works! When the Analogue Pocket (new game boy type machine) comes out it's going to have music making software on it. Would love to see you do a video on that.
as soon as I heard the first notes I was like "Pleeeeeaaase plug it into the Sega Megadrive Synth!" - and he did it. I LOVE those sounds!
*proceeds to blow my ears out*
That's Curt Cobain's guitar, did you build it or get it from someone!?
As a guitarist...thank you. Thank you so much
Drink every time you spot that bit of mustache I missed when shaving
I didn't even notice till i seen your comment 😂
Well then 🍻Cheers
If I wasn't always pissed
Ouyy..... ¿go Unshaved? Maybe.... then take it into a crazy retro-synthwave- video!
Lmao I noticed it right off but it only made me realize how my scruffy is way worse
Thanks I'm drunk now...
Sega in 1988; the FM soundchip of the Mega Drive has a good guitar sound!
Sam in 2020; I'll plug a guitar into this Mega Drive!
Somehow this is actually the best review for the Fishman out there.
😂
Srsly true.
I was going to say. I wouldn't look twice at that product if not for this video. Now I want one asap.
@@saam6768 I was looking at maybe getting one a month or two ago, and I'm not kidding, this LMNC video told me more about what the thing can do than a couple dozen other videos/reviews I watched.
I've had lots of various roland gK stuff over the past 20 years and it has definitely gotten alot better.
I won't be surprised if I'm playing CyberPunk 2077 and I come across this dude in the game
and then he chalenges you to a SYNTH BATTLE WITH NO COMPUTERS
Wake the fuck up, we got a synth battle to battle.
exactly
YES!!! This guy is our hope to bring NEW CYBERPUNK into Charts again!
Dude I hope so. I'd feel so cool.
The sounds coming out of that synth and guitar at 4:16 were amazing!!!
You've tried the 70's version, you've tried the modern version - the logical next step is to build your own! Maybe you can make a simple pickup that outputs straight CV. ?
* 6 simple pickups
This way it would have no way to know what fret you are playing. It would only know what string you're playing
@@FilipeDGuedes I think there are some pitch-to-voltage converters
@@lorenzogiani7190 you are right. Disconsider what I said
Aye.
His thousand oscillator wall.
Is this the gateway to a new genre, electronic djent?
god i wish
Digidjent?
@@ryanspencer4654 brilliant
that's just dubstep
HMMMMMMMMM...... Djent Meets Yes??????
OMFG - found this channel by accident. And now I WANT THAT 70s SYNTH GUITAR. Sounds truly epic!
This longtime guitar midi player is getting all misty eyed seeing your infectious enthusiasm.
Gonna enjoy seeing the inevitable future guitar vids from ya!
5:52 dude that riff sounds AMAZING!! really rad guitar
Haha awesome. I love running guitars through synths for pitch to CV and I can't believe I've never thought of running a midi pickup through a six-voice poly! Totally doing that now.
How do you normally get the guitar to send pitch to cv??
@@jonahraduns-silverstein3981 On specific synths that have that functionality. My Korg MS-20 has pitch to CV (plus envelope follower and trigger generation) in the patch panel. I borrowed a Roland System 700 which has a dedicated "Interface" module designed for pitch to CV / envelope following / gate generation.
I also have an ARP Avatar which is a purpose built guitar synth (one of the first) but it's still being repaired.
broke: playing guitar on a synth
woke: playing synth on a guitar
Really digging your vids man. Thanks for everything.
I'd love to see the possibilities of plugging the guitar into a normal amp and then using the fishman pickup into a synth. I think you could make a pretty cool White Stripes-esque band with the normal guitar sound and a synth bass sound
Yess this is exactly what i was thinking
Maybe if You use a monosynth that tracks only the lowest note you are playing You could make chords with the guitar and the synth plays bass
This electric guitar hooked to a synthesizer is one of the coolest things I've heard in a long time! Thank you very much for doing this, that sound is amazing.
7:37 - ALL DARK AND MOODY 80s MOVIES EVER
Steve Hillages synth, guitar, and synth guitar work is criminally underrated. Not to mention his producing chops, AND system 7.
Let me guess: Guitar + Furby = Guitarby! Endless possibilities with this! Somebody’s going to see this and rediscover their guitar!
Bruh! This portamento makes me feel at 80's again! Incredible cross-over tech episode. We're so pumped!
You’re advancing with time, warms the heart.
2:19 : "precision engineering!!!"
"It requires an app" "Fuuuuuuu"
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER: just watch me.
(yes I also dislike the "require an app" trend - happy to see I'm not the only one)
2222
I want to see you live sometime. Too bad I’m in the States!
Waiting for more of your music to be released on Spotify. Your music is so cool and unique!
Thanks for the great content!
Put the Fishman connect on the Roland if you haven't already, could be 4th dimensional 🤯
Hook that puppy up to a BASS!
Edit: I know it just plays the sounds from the synth, but it would look cool slapping out synth squonks and bleeps.
He should test it for us because there are no videos of trying to put one of these onna bass.
moonboogie N8 “squonks and bleeps” can I use that as my band name?
@@NotDingse Mmmmm, ok....... But I get to play lead squonks.
@@moonboogien8908 deal, hit me up!
@@moonboogien8908 can i be the bleeper?
I've been looking for something like this for a long time. It's actually what brought me to your channel way back when. Fantastic vid dude, and thanks.
“I find your lack of iPad... disturbing....” - Darth Apple.
haha
Your reaction when you found out it needed a app made me laugh. Another enjoyable video and am eagerly looking forward to the next one. All the best.
The 70s Roland is one of my dream guitars,,,, I still stand by that sounds amazing
Every fucking rif You play sounds like it would make amazing tune. Every time You touch strings i have chills!!
Daaaaaaaamn!!
So cool bro. If you made a full song with the guitar and that sega synth I would 100% buy that
"the intonation is a bit out"
-Proceeds to fuck up the intonation even further by placing the guitar against the shelf in the worst possible way.
I bought a Fishman TriplePlay connect based on your review (did a review myself on my channel if anyone is interested) it's fucking amazing through VSTs and stuff. Also you might be aware already, but if you run it through the software and configure stuff like individual string sensitivity it saves it to the device, so if you haven't already done that it's worth a go because it should improve your tracking when going back to MIDI conversion/hardware synths.
Also you can mount it upside down by reversing the order of the (non-earth/black) wires going into the unit from the pickup (bit fiddly but no solder required) - I had to do this cos I'm left handed!
8:03 And that my friends is what Archimedes called Eureka!
lol
I’ve never seen a midi guitar pickup work so well right out of the box. And I’ve used SO MANY of them!!!
I could play with that for hours everyday. This is an amazing video. I do not understand why it only has 7k likes.
There is an app for that: Jam Origin MIDI Guitar 2. In app purchase of $20 unlocks MIDI output. The app just takes your guitar audio signal & generates MIDI from any guitar, no special pickup required. You can even use a microphone with acoustic guitar.
I own a gr-300 guitar synth with an ibanez IMG2010 guitar controller (same 24-pin interface but not compatible with the gear in this vid, different voltage), and I can vouch that it tracks perfectly and sounds like an excellent vintage polysynth with limited controls. I got mine cheap (sub-$500 CAD for guitar, gr300 and an 80s pitch to midi unit, had to buy an aftermarket 24 cable for $150 though) but i think it is worth a lot more as it is probably the best sounding fully analog guitar synth out there, and because the tracking is analog it feels instantaneous. Strong recommendation for a vintage option.
That Roland has such a vibe to it wow.
Love this video! FYI, you can toggle pitch bend tracking on/off by pressing the Up and Down buttons at the same time.
robert fripp new generation
great job mate!
gotta get one for my bc rich warlock now lmao
hahaha
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER I have a gk3 on my Dean ML using midi out has some latency into dexed etc. This video is awesome.
Mechanical genius! Great music too!
pretty sure I could recognise sam by his skull alone
And now I need a synth to plug my guitar into.
super happy I came across this channel. Your mad scientist vibe mixed with mustangs and synth music made me subscribe so damn fast
What a co-inki-dink. I just dragged my one of these out of the draw the other day. With some routing within Ableton and some creative racks you can setup string splits to put certain sounds on different strings. 808 kicks on the low E, and a pad across everything sounds huge!
well sam looks like you were having just as much fun if not more than the guy on the package!
Huh would you look at that
AW YEAH! SO magic! Great seeing how the new ones work!
Fishman: (Releases snazzy new bit of kit). LMNC: (Immediately hacks it and makes me actually want to get one.)
Boss level 100 Synth Lord challenges you to a synth battle with no computers
Ugh... I love that Roland guitar synth sooooo very much.
Prophet 600. First synth to have midi...amazing stuff!
Amazing, can't wait to see you perform live in March!
bristonnika????
“These wires are everywhere”. That’s the main issue with me too, too many pieces of gear and wires! Lol.
love your content mistah
Jam Origin developed a program called Midi Guitar, which runs on iPad/iPhone, and has a VST version for PC. It has zero latency, and does not require a special pickup. You just connect your guitar to the line-in/mic, and it converts the audio to midi out. It also has pitch shift for bends, and mono and poly modes. The free trial version is worth trying out, and the iPad version is reasonably priced.
Interesting it must have got better I tried it a few years ago and it was proper laggy
Thank you for showing how the Fishman works without a computer. I think you just sold me on getting one.
Sam "I can't play the giffar" Battle not playing the guitar throughout this video
I'm jealous of your unbelievable gift. Well done sir 👌
You should try BOSS SY-1 pedal. No messy fiddling, just plug in like a regular effects pedal. zero lag, works perfectly, you can put effects in parallel loop in and out the SY-1 to get the effects on dry signal, then mix both dry and synth.
Loved the little 8bit guitar style sounding riff at the end... Nice.
haha
love that vintage guitar. the fishman connect was cool too.
you're a true original. amazing. thanks for the video!
I did not expect I will like how this small black box sounds. SUCH DOOPE!
I have an old Casio MG-500 that i could never get to work, i assumed Midi pickups were broken but seeing this kinda makes me wanna go and fix it or maybe even try out this new thing. Awesome video
Great vid mate! Now I need this perfect toy ✌️
OOOOHHHHHFFFF
Awesome!!! Sounds great with the Prophet!
There's also the Industrial Radio midi bass and guitar.
THIS IS RELATIVE TO MY INTERESTS
excellent content as usual! you run one of the best channels on youtube!
This guy looks like he's been snapping into slim jim's since the 90's.
Quality as usual! Those basslines though! Thank you!
It's so frustrating when you are just mucking about and start playing something so cool. You just lay it down then move on and I'm here like Bill Bailey screaming at my phone, "PLAY THE TRACK!"
2:42 Niiiice sound!
7:38 sounded like Walking On a Thin Line by Huey Lewis and The News for minute. Haha
I had a Fender Synth VG guitar made in USA 2007 . it was a workman guitar . The circuit board when out no one has a circuit board replacement . Roland also stop making the Roland G5 guitar circuit so if you bought one if your circuit board goes out you are screwed !
lovin this!!! I wanted to play synths with guitar for YEARS!!! Now with this tech I finally can!!! :)
Now plug one into your 1000 oscillator wall.
Call the elder gods through whatever cracks you can rattle loose.
Exactly the video I was hoping you'd do... thanks!
I wasn't expecting the newer thing that you just slap on to the guitar to work so well.
Dang, those arps at 3:48 are sick. Sounds guitarlike but totally impossible to do on an electric.
Nice, now I need to do that on my bass and connect it to my Virus... Gonna have some fun, thanks for the idea!
Now I want a synth guitar!
Brilliant, this. I'd almost forgotten how much wow there was to be found in this. G-303, where are you now? But, a question: Who is the Greatest Guitar Synth Player of all Time? Robert Fripp, anyone?
As a lifelong Adrian Belew fan, I'd have to say... Adrian Belew.
Steve Hackett!!
Allan Holdsworth
@@gtheskater Easily
Chuck Hammer
Good thing that MIDI pickup is $250. I woulda bought it, but I already spent $230 on guitar stuff today, and I ain't spendin' no more!
You definitely found your mark with that Les Paul synthar since I watched its first video with you roughly ten minutes ago. That's fast learnin'
I like to see how it makes you fun to play Sam👍🏼😊.
" Even if the day is grey, you put this grey weather away "
Have a nice day + everyone here too and see you Sam ;)
the tone at 3:48 is super lit
OH SHIT THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED TO SEE! I was thinking of using a midi pickup to trigger my hardware synths. Thanks!
its doable
There's a music shop in Tralee that I visit on yearly family holidays that's had a Roland GK pickup for like, 10 years, I must actually pick it up next trip and give it a try!
Your Megadrive synth is one of the best things that I have ever seen.
another great vid! how did i not know a synth guitar was a thing?? awesome :D
The G808 and GR300 I own have all but eliminated that tracking issue you mentioned on the 500.
If anyone wants to hear some old school synth guitar music they can check the side-project of Hackett and Howe, called GTR.
0:48 Damn son you've got pretty eyes.
i dunno? i cant see em?
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Look mum no mirror.
@@walpoly but do you really see your eyes though? Hmmm
@@TheChadPad what is seeing even? Can it be trusted? Does seeing even really exist?
@@mjstecyk emm,yes
The guy with a paperclip on his ear is throwing stones.......
i love the part at 6:01 . I know its from one of his songs
The difference between the Roland and the other device is that the Roland is processing the actual guitar signal through a synth filter and such whereas the other is just sending midi info and the sound is purely the synth being controlled
The old GS series are guitar processors for each individual string on the guitar much like plugging the guitar directly into your modular synth
"processing the actual guitar signal through a synth filter ". Nope. The Roland guitar synths from the GR-500 to the GR-300 are actually doing analogue pitch and threshold detection to generate 6 channels of CV and gate (Though hexaphonic fuzz is ALSO available on some models). The service manuals are freely available, if you want to see how it's done...
