Roland Guitar Synth Challenge - Wayne Joness - GI-20

Roland Guitar Synth Challenge entry by Wayne Scott Joness featuring the Roland GI-20. The GI-20 is used with a Roland GK-3 divided pickup to play a variety of software synthesizers and sound modules, including the Roland XV-5080 fitted with the SRX-07 Ultimate Keys Expansion board. All MIDI performances are from the GI-20, with the exception of drum loop programming.

Great stuff. I was thinking of buying the GR 55 when it comes out, but now I'm not too sure anymore. Those flute sounds are amazing! can you tell me what software synths you were using for that? Regards, Hubert.

I am used Native Instruments Reaktor 5.0. The patch I am using is called Steampipe and it is a virtual modeling instrument. The guitar sound that opens this video is also from Steampipe. Also, when the dark break section hits, at 2:08, the dark pad sound is also from Reaktor. Reaktor is really amazing.

I assumed russians play on 3 string ukulele and wooden spoons, and the music is very repetetive like blues

Finally someone not in King Crimson who still knows how to use a guitar synth!

I see you're the one who advertised that turbo GR 700 on ebay! I'm still using the GR 700, with an updated EPROM. Removed the whammy from the G 707 and had active EMGs installed. Seldom have any tracking problems.

So it's Reaktor loaded into a regular pc or laptop, the GI 20 and a guitar with a GK2? Saw another contest winner here who uses the GI 20 plus a Sound Canvas SC 8850. I don't think the 8850 is being produced anymore. BTW the GR 55 looks like a winner!
