The LCD is a bit of punishment, but the product offers a lot of possibilities.

UTILIZATION

Simple as all possibilities.

GETTING STARTED

When the GR-30 appeared on the market, there was nothing to compete.
There's not much longer ...
The sounds of piano, organ, wind instrumentals are top ... if mixed with something else, and the guitar ... ;-)
Let's say it's pretty impressive. The pad sounds and synths are well filled and the momentum is really amazing.

OVERALL OPINION

Only big problem latency. Greater on the low notes, it can be embarrassing and cause of notes "ghosts". Too bad. But if you play properly, and slowly, it works pretty well.
On my Godin, thanks to its three outputs (electrical, "electro-acoustic" and MIDI) Can I mix and measure 3 sounds at the same time, have three instrumentals that play the same thing, with one musician and one instrument, because you can superimpose two stamps on the GR-30, we arrive so even at 4 in total.
The effects are basic but do their job properly. We may regret not having dedicated knobs to certain parameters.

Overall, a product that was expensive new, but secondhand's really a case.
Proceeds paid 4150 F (630 €) at the time.
