Re: Who knows which MIDI Guitar is cheap and useful?



An optional way of Midi-Guitar is to use the Roland GK2A Pickup and the
Roland GI10 interface.
This device has no "Soundsection".nevertheless it is very flexible.
With this device you can Miditrigger all kinds of soundmodules.(You can do
it also with the a 
full GR30 for example),but I didnīt wanted another synth,so I choosed the
GI10.
The thing I donīt like at GR1,GR09.GR30 and GR33 is the fact,that
manipulation of the sound is
not amazing.They are more presetplayers.
Try to get a used Ensoniq EPS16+R,this is a fine Sampler,wich offers the
GuitarMidiMonoMode.
The sounds are cool and the library is big.And it should be really cheap
now.
There are so many possibilities for used synths at a small price.

Another Guitar Midi Interface is from AXXON,they trigger a little faster as
the Rolands and have
more options.They use also the GK2A.
