Re: Sustainers and pickups

<<Reeves setup is discussed in the June Guitar Player.  He is not
using any analog signal. (other than to drive the sustainer) 
All output is from the GK-2 pickup which feeds a Roland VG-8 and a
GR-09.>>
Sorry, but I can't let this bit of persistent mis-information pass
uncorrected. The GK-2A pickup sends an ANALOG signal. it is in fact a
hexaphonic humbucking magnetic pickup. The VG-8 processes this batch of
analog signals using DSP, while the GR-09 converts the analog pitch, 
envelop,
and volume info into MIDI data.
