Roland gr 09 guitar synthesizer reviews full#
Read full reviewĭisappointing - recommend only if you know what you're getting that will help you get the most from this unit. take the time to download and read the manual. they work well, track well, look cool, the exp pedal is a really useful feature and they are a lot of fun, once you get used to them. they're like apples and orangutans in that respect.īut anyways, for the price you can get these at on ebay these days, its a no-brainer. If you're just starting out with these mongrels, i'd probably go gr20, but this is. I haven't tri ed this with midi yet, so can't comment on that, but i did use my gk4p splitter to run it wired up with a few others (gr09/gr20) and it performed great. honestly, for all it can do, this is pretty similar tonally to a gr55 imho, minus the effect processing power. Its not the deepest interface i've seen, but you can get some serviceable and useful tones for live use. but once dialed in, it tracks nice and fast, with a hint of noticeable latency on your lowest notes. that said, i found some patches needed quite a bit of tweaking to really get tracking to work well. The tracking is pretty good, standard guitar synthesis caveats apply. while its NOT my favorite of the "modern" rolands (i have gr300,700,1,09,20,30,33 and 55 synths) it IS probably one of the easier ones. I got addicted to roland guitar synths years ago, and had an opportunity to pick up a roland gr33. Cool guitar synthesizer with some decent features
