I don't know about the VG-99. I have the GR-20 Synth. I was just referring to the GK-3 Pickup. You can also buy guitars with the function of the GK-3 pickup built into them. The Roland Ready Strats, Godin SA guitars etc. And you can buy the GraphTech Ghost system which is a more complex higher tech version of the GK-3 functions. Big Ron
yes, this pickup has two jacks a 1/4" jack which just works straight through the pickup just as if you had plugged it directly into the guitar. The other input is the 13 pin output for the bar pickup that works the synth with the signal from each string.
You can use mount this pickup, plug a 1/4" jack into it and ignore the synth completely. Don't eve plug in the synth cord. Or plug it in and run the synth as well - and switch between and mix the two signals. Big Ron
What kind of pickups were those at the end of the video ? The ones the last guitarist played that were attached to the Strat ? They had two tiny bars going across the top and bottom and it kind of looked like a Single - Coil ?
A MIDI cable is different from the GK Roland cable. The Roland GK-3 cable is a 13 pin cable made to work with Roland (and other ) Synth units. I'm not sure what your "interface" is. But if it isn't a 13 pin interface it won't plug directly in. If your interface is a MIDI interface you can come out of a Roland Synth with a MIDI signal into your interface but at that point you are needing the Roland Synth ( or some other synth).
Umm so if I buy the GK-3 and I just want to simply do some MIDI recording/tracking straight from my guitar to my interface, do I still need to buy the other "GK compatible devices"???

@TheEternalLeader They are on the cream colored strat throughout the video that the wavy/curly/whatever blond guy has.
