Roland GI-20 Tutorial Ibanez IMG2010 BX-13-VX Basic Settings - Soft Synths - Reaktor

This clip covers the basic setup of using a Roland GI-20. Sensitivity settings are covered in this clip. I am using an Ibanez IMG2010 vintage 24-pin guitar synth controller with the BX-13-VX, which converts the 24-pin signals to 13-pin format.Posted by Wayne Scott Joness

@WyneJoness:

Could you help me please? It seems like you don't get any glitch notes when you play. My problem is, I own the GI-20 + GK3 and it produces glitch notes like hell. I also had the Axon AK 100 MKII before years and it was the same problem with it.

I have set my string action very very high and set the sensitivity of the GI-20 to the maximum values. I also played extremely slow and accurate to test if glitch notes would occur and they do. What could be the reason? String height?

[WayneJoness]

You certainly need to reduce the input sensitivity settings. I set the sensitivity so that I have to play with a little force to trigger the note. If you have the sensitivity at maximum, it is probably false triggering, producing all kinds of errors.

This is fantastic, I have to go for this- Which of the roland digital pickups do you recommend the most?

[WayneJoness]

The Roland GK-2 or GK-3 works great.

Wayne ... you are a genius!

The GI-20 has 128 different programs you can store, but it does not have any internal sounds. You cannot plug it into an amp, you need to plug it into a MIDI module, or use with a computer (soft synths) to create sounds.

how many patches built into the gi-20, and can u plug a guitar into it then play right threw a regular guitar amp, thanks.
