RE: Guitar MIDI pickups



No problem using the MIDI out from say a GR I did it with a GR09 but, I had
to change one setting that filtered down some of the expression and 
velocity
messages sent from the GR module. I can't recall what the setting was 
called
but, it appeared in the manual somewhere.

Is there a problem with using the MIDI out on the Roland floor unit? 
Or, you could do what Bob Weir did: get a Casio body and put a Modulus
Graphite neck on it! He had a bunch of these in the 90s. He even had a way
to do it all wireless.
