Re: Roland GR-55 guitar synth (Re: klobucharian idyll)



While I can appreciate how the rumored onboard looper on this thing  
might be of general interest to the LD list.

Has anyone considered how cool it is to have the equivalent of 2 synth  
engines, a VG hex COSM engine, and complete processing for regular  
magnetic pickups all in one box?

As someone who actually uses a VG99, plus a GR synth, plus processes  
the bejeezus out of his guitars magnetic pickups too...and then sends  
them all to MaxMSP in a laptop this is very intriguing.

If they don't short to user on other features or editability it could  
be an answered prayer for guys like me (who want to have it all).

Hmmmmm...
