synth guitar

[jeremyrozario]

ne1 tried a synth guitar or owns 1? hows e sound, and hows e sound after u run it into a pedal thingy e.g. e roland gr33, are the instrument 'simulations' as good as those from a midi keyboard? is the gk pickup accurate? is it expensive? is it worth the money spent?

There are demos of how the GR33 sounds like on their website:

My opinion - OK for some special effects. The sound from the GR33 is good (basically from the JV1080). The problem is that nobody plays the keyboard like a guitar - so the realism is in the sound itself, but not the playing. You can better emulate a guitar from a keyboard than the other way around.
