synth (JV series) for guitar with the original (by GODIN) or to be fitted with a Roland GK
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Connectors:</span> MIX Outputs L (Headphones) / R (Mono), Return L / R (Mono), Guitar Out, Bank Shift, GK in, MIDI (In, Out), AC IN
48 notes polyphony, 256 submissions for the patches classified into eight banks (A to H) of which 4 are in ROM, and 4 editable.
384 tones as a basis for creating patches (2 tones / patches) and 40 effects.
UTILIZATION
After going through the manual for understanding the use of pedals, and switches installed on the GK guitar, usage is pretty simple.
The pedals have two functions: selecting the patches online, or in combination with a button on the GK setting the arpeggiator or harmonizer, etc. ... the volume pedal can also be used for other parameters (FX, Pan, etc ...)
GETTING STARTED
I use a Godin XTSA, so equipped with the original 13-pin GK. Otherwise, the biggest challenge to use a MIDI pedal for guitar is to install the sensor in the guitar.
A short spell jack of the guitar and goes into the sensor.
The 13-pin cable transmits the south AND the sound of the guitar
On the pedalboard his fate on the general mix "+ synth guitar", but ATTENTION the integrated effects of the pedal only applies to synth sounds!
By plugging a jack on "Guitar Out", it retrieves the guitar sound "dry", that plug into a multi-effects pedal, then it reconnects on the "Return" of the pedals.
Here, the guitar sound "Treaty" will be mixed with the sound of the synth on the general mix of pedals.
This makes it necessary to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor "rope after rope"
There is more to review the 256 patches of the pedal
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year with my guitar GODIN XTSA.
I had not used other pedal-synth, but I had heard a demo of the GR-20 in a store. I still searched for GR-33 Used as it is deemed more editable than the GR-20.
The sound is more akin to the JV series GR-20 which is more oriented XV / Fantom.
I was more interested in the grain, because my utlisation is especially complementary with tablecloths or other sounds plucked double penetrated.
But to play the piano with a guitar (I also play the keyboard), and these sounds are more unique to the GR-20 apparently.
For editing sounds, I use a small program "GRAPELIGHT" through the South, which greatly facilitates the task. This prevents cramps to kneel in equilibrium with the guitar for hours.
(Only thing to do on the pedal, the switch to dump receipt "to access the editing sounds via MIDI)
Regarding the latency, I have not noticed anything special, but I play a Godin which is made for the South, and I think it makes things easier, and more, I'm not a shredder.
The original sounds were not to my taste, mostly. But once reprogrammed, it's great, it brings an extra dimension to the guitar. By noon, with a keyboard, it serves me as an expander for my synths.
This will lead synth sounds, layers, sequences and arpeggios, with percussion, drums, orchestral sounds, ethnic instruments,
Clearly, this choice I will ever be safely
