Not gonna lie, that was horrifying. But the glasses are wicked.
Where did you buy it?Got my tracking # today.
I have tried all midi pickups
Where did you buy it?
My problems with the Roland 13 pin synth boxes are as follows:
- Gorgeous internal patches are only accessible via the 13 pin pickup input.
- If you use a sequencer to record your MIDI performance, quantize it, and want to use the sequence track to drive the Roland box to produce audio, you don't have the same patches available. Instead, you have partial patches available for midi driven audio.
- Setting up GK pickup tracking really requires a 2nd person to operate the sliders to adjust sensitivity, while you play and listen to glitches.
- To really get the most out of the GK pickup, you need to change up your technique in a way that feels unnatural to many guitarists.
Some of these things are easily solved by changing some hardware design choices.
Tried that, tracking speed is not an issue anymore these days, but the problem is a lot of artifacts and every little string noise interpreted as a random note. Maybe it depends on a guitar you can get better or worse results. But on guitar some noises are unavoidable its not a perfect instrument and midi pickup tries to capture all that. At least on Jam Origin Midi Guitar app there is a gate setting that helps to combat that, and get rid of these false notes.Ever try the Fishman TriplePlay? It tracks as fast as you can play, pitch bends are super fine, and wireless
got a bunch of them and love em, ,including that rare Fender TP Strat that had it built in, recent updates have helped, but I would be reticent to try toEver try the Fishman TriplePlay? It tracks as fast as you can play, pitch bends are super fine, and wireless

my SY 1000 is also incoming tomorow from Sweetwater........
I was a big Roland synth guitar user in the 90s and 00s. The GK3 pickups were very difficult to set up for great tracking. The best results I ever had were with the factory-installed Roland pickups that were built into Strats. I still have one, and sadly, I almost never use it. I keep thinking I should sell it, as it would pair nicely with this kind of system.
Oh wow. I hadn't thought of that. I will look on Reverb / eBay to see if there are example prices.Those Roland GC1 strats are practically non-existent on the used market. You should be able to achieve a nice price.
Let me know what you think of the Guitar to Midi. I enabled it and tried to run some Kontakt patches with it and it was nowhere near as good as the tracking with the GR55 to the onboard PCM sounds. I know that's not the intent of this unit but it has the capability and for me won't replace the GR55 without it.So my GP-10, GR-55, remaining EHX '9' series pedals, and SY-300 are going to the great yard sale in the sky. I haven't tried bass with it yet but I suspect my V-Bass will be going too.
