Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer : Strings Sounds

A demo of the of the Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer's PCM "Strings" Sounds. I play each one for a few seconds.

The audio is recorderd directly out from the GR-55. It is mono and not stereo. The stereo sounds a lot better, but this should give you a good idea of what they sound like.

Feel free to comment and ask any questions you have and I will answer them the best I can.

The tapestrings were sort of odd. The GR-20 had a couple of good mellotron-ish string sounds. I was hoping the GR-55 would be at least as good in that department. Maybe with some editing?

@mikemassedotcom The GR-55 has some great string sounds in it. The GR-20 is a good unit, but I'm sure the 55 has something that will float your boat. True about editing. You can get totally different sounds on the same patch just by editing some of the parameters. Overall I've been very happy with the strings.

@gregosicko You are welcome.

in my opinion this unit is good for playing in a restaurant with an ugly midi drum sample. Nobody cares about the music there. But on a stage, in a serious band... I'd wonder if anyone used these disgusting sound patches...

[kennisrussell]

@csakennyitakartam I play with it every week live at church. See my patch tutorial videos to hear the type of sound I came up with. Do I use the sounds out of the box... No I do not. I make adjustments to just about everything.

@mulemusic Great

Thanks! Answers exactly what I wanted to know!

@a280281 I'm not really sure what you mean... I use it every week in a live setting.
