as a monosynth w/guitar controller, i've been able to get some great analog synthbass as well as higher octave flute-type leads. since i've learned to play with a very clean staccato technique, i've encountered very little glitching or lag. the triggering is pretty much instantaneous. as a polyphonic filter effect w/guitar controller, the results are more varied. you can get an eh micro-synth type of sound with dirt and wank. you can get cleaner synth-like tones. in this mode the original sound source is being processed, and when you play polyphonically, glitching abounds, but i love it and have learned to more or less control it's intensity and frequency of occurrence. the glitching has a burbling musicality to it and not at all like the glitching on a gr700. the greatest asset of the x911 is being able to send anything through it. the monosynth works amazingly with strictly monophonic sources such as voice and electronic wind instruments. the filter effect can tranform mediocre drum machines into a grimy vortex of groove. after owning one for over five years, i still use it regularly and rarely pass up a chance to rave about it. hey i didn't know the vg-8's had dropped that much in price! wow, maybe time to pick one up... shayne ....still waiting for my dd20...on back order...sigh I want something that will take the guitar as signal and allow me to do synth-like manipulation of it. I already have a GR-33 but the latency on fast passages drives me nuts. |
