Re: beginner guitar synth questions
<< remember the attack on Dylan for 'going electric' >>
Dylan went electric!?!!! when????
Seriously, a guitar synth can do some wonderful things. The first one I
had
was the now dirt cheap, but a little hard-to-find Yamaha G10--kinda looked
like a long green pickle with strings. Worked perfect for laying down
pads
and bass lines in particular and some very neat, weird percussion.
Tracked
just fine and transmitted over midi well. The new guitar synths are very
good too, but really no better than the "old' G10. Each string could be
assigned a different midi channel which was very cool for those really
dense
pads. One thing I learned over the years with many guitar synths is that
I
would always shut off aftertouch and pitch bend on a midi sound module
controlled by a guitar synth unless I had a specific reason for needing
it.
One way to help your system respond more accurately to what you're
actually
playing. In think the best Roland made was the GR1 (w/expansion) and the
truly magical VG-8.

Dylan really did go electric???
