Roland GR-55 In-Depth Overview With Alex Hutchings

[@MrClarkio]

Late to the party, but.. Amp wise you can split the natural guitar sound (albeit with cosm effects) and the pcm generated sounds. For the straight cosm sounds any guitar amp will be fine, however for the pcm sounds depending on what sound you have selected a Guitar Amp may or may not be suitable. For instance although a violin sound would probably be fine a deep piano, organ or synth sound would probably not sound so good. Ideally you would send the Guitar output of the unit till your normal Amp (line 6 spider etc) and the pcm output to a keyboard Amp or straight to pa. Hope that makes sense

Are there any videos that explain the computer hook up in more detail?

[@eddiesimonmusic]

I own the Roalnd GR-55 Guitar Synth and I can say it is an amazing and fun tool of the trade ...check it out

[@waynestanley01]

Wow, I just found out from this video that the modeling includes synth sounds as well as bass and guitars

[@Django19145]

Thats cool need to get my head round this!

[@HamadaElMnsour]

Thanks, mate

[@camilovieiradasilva]

How can I trigger effects by computer?

[@basshappens]

As usual, awesome playing! At about 0:45 Alex says the audio from the computer is "coming back in here" the camera then shows the GR- 55. Where does the audio come back in? There are no inputs except the GK input and Midi. Thanks for any help.

[@Metal_Dinosaur]

+basshappens I imagine it's coming to and from via the usb connection

[@AlexandreFirmeza]

Is the guitar beatbox patch coming in the gr 55 or I have to download somewhere? If so, where could I find this cool sound? Thanks

[@chrismerriercm]

i was thinking on buying the GR-55 but I don't know if I have the amp for it . . . I have a Line 6 Spider Jam . . . .will the GR-55 Work with Line 6 Spider Jam Amp ???

[@Hasil_Kureshi]

it would also be interesting to learn the common keyboard/piano voicings of chords on the guitar so that it becomes seamless to distinguish between the track being developed by guitar or keyboard any links on that anyone ???????

[@dustoff85]

Alex, I just purchased a Gr-55 site unseen. I have a question. I have a Line 5 Flextone 2 x 12 100 watt amp (modeling amp). What shat standard setup should I use the Line 6 when using the GR-55 Thank U Bro

[@jackbirkett2642]

Do you need to use a laptop to activate different sounds on the synth module?

[@ChrisCollinsx]

wow

[@basswolf86]

Logic as the DAW for sure. The bass sound could be something from Massive by Native Instruments.

Any one knows what monitor is he using?

[@HamadaElMnsour]

What is the software that Alex uses on the computer?

[@Vezzalino]

Which guitar is it?

[@maxmax643]

Do you absolutley need the gk3 in order to use the gr 55? I just ordered this today and i got the gk3 just im case

[@troublesomecorsair]

+Max Cruz Yes. The only way into the GR-55 is through a 13-pin pickup like the GK3.

[@alphasxsignal]

What model of guitar is that. I was thinking of buying a Godin xtsa Koa top model to use with my GR-55, would that be better then to use the Roland GC-1?

[@danielhartle4620]

When are they going to update this sound engine with some Supernatural sounds???
