thanks for the inspiration....curious what your routing and setup is..here is mine, stereo in 2 from the SY with panned string placement .I still haven't tried the pitch-to-midi or the synth models of the SY-1000. Five days with it, and I still haven't moved from the Nylon Guitar model.
Some people gets Option Paralysis with the endless possibilities, but now I have Amazing Tone Paralysis. Not only with the SY-1000 but with the Axe-FX III. Millions of possibilities, but I am addicted to one tone that I like and I cannot stop playing with it. The SY-1000 Nylon Guitar processed through the Axe-FX mixed with the regular guitar pickups through the Axe-FX AC30.

I do not believe that what I have heard so far synth wise, while sounding as good as I’ve heard from a Roland guitar unit. will compare favorably to the best of the softsynths. But I have admittedly not dug too deep...Jive T, you say the synths are great. Sounds hopeful, I will have to check it out
Roland own (or owned) Cakewalk. Cakewalk's Rapture was an underground legend, a fantastic synth (superseded by Rapture Pro which was a total flop and seemed to bankrupt the company). Cakewalk also produced Z3ta, another famous soft-synth which made a lot of waves a few years back. Either of these synths wrapped up in a GR55 box would have put guitar synthesis on the 21st map. But no! Roland's 'synth' engine in the GR55 was a little bit of a joke for anyone wanting to design cutting-edge sounds.
I'm worried the SY1000 is another such machine.

It's still a Roland unit So there is that.I do not believe that what I have heard so far synth wise, while sounding as good as I’ve heard from a Roland guitar unit. will compare favorably to the best of the softsynths. But I have admittedly not dug too deep...

MIDI Guitar and V-Guitar are different technologies that provide very different results.
The FishmanTriplePlay is only suitable for MIDI guitar, not for V-Guitar, and it requires a computer in order to work
MIDI Guitar converts the guitar notes to MIDI notes (to trigger a MIDI synth), with all its limitations. e.g: velocity and picth bend limited to 256 steps, tracking errors, not capturing playing nuances... Basically, it is like playing a keyboard with the guitar but prone to tracking errors
V-Guitar is a Modeling Technology (real time signal processing), but it is not limited to model Amps and Cabs. It also models string instrument or pickups, from a Nylon guitar to a Rickenbacker, and all kind of synths and weird things. And, as any other modeller, it captures all the playing nuances of the guitar.
The Boss SY-1000 (like the VG-x or the GP-10) does not have an internal MIDI synth. All its sounds, guitars or synths, come from V-Guitar (modeling technology). However, it also has a pitch-to-MIDI converter to trigger external synths through its MIDI output.
Try to play this with the Fishman or with any other Guitar-to-MIDI converter:
Good news: beta testers say that the quality of the nylon and other v-guitars is better than the VG99 and GP-10. Probably as a result of the 32 bit processor. I've already sold my VG99 and GP-10
