Hi RGOs.
From time to time I create FX presets for guitar sounds in the studio.
For a tune I write I want a P.Metheny alike Archtop sound.
To my surprise he uses Digitec Amp Sim stuff and Lexicon Delays...
I got everything so far with right.
The delays and the verb sounds a lot like his rig.
But one thing is hard to get.
He used that old Roland (GR???) thing for getting that flute alike sound.
First of all I don't have one of these, second they don't build the unit anymore.
Any hint is welcome?
How can I mix under the very nice guitar tone a flute alike tone that follows.
It needs to be something that generates a different sound by the played guitar notes.

If it's just for studio use, maybe something like this can fit the need without much effort? www.bituosity.com/Didn't test it yet, hope it's better than JamOrigin, which not really convinced me... If you look out for a bit more hardware, i have one of the early Sonuus guitar to midi converters. I guess their later models were improved quite a bit. It wasn't too bad actually! Unfortunately, this stuff is not polyphone, like the Roland midi pickups... I don't know if the Melodyne does a good midi conversion on guitar - never tried that, maybe i should... |

It would have been to nice to be true.
The plug in fails validating in Logic every time.
I did try with some filters and delay but its not the same.

Can you do pitch to midi conversion? That plus some sort of triangle wave flute patch would work.
I once saw a bizarre video of an Irish band, one of them had one of those Roland guitar synths and the music was basically prog rock. They were playing in a prison, and about half of them left in the first 10 minutes. Imagine going home knowing someone preferred a prison cell to your music!

Yes, the Sonuus G2M is really usable. I have this one too, but use it rarely, on bass it has problems to track, but that was pretty forseeable. I bought mine before the B2M came out. But on guitar it really is fun and with a bit of trying, it works quite good.
Tracking can be improved by splitting the guitar signal and feeding the G2M thru an eq/filter, setting should reduce the signal as much as possible to the base frequencies (treble down).
This way you have one full-range guitar tone and one for good midi tracking.

The unit has a parallel Fuzz and 2 octave down effect - but what's really fun is that the octave down is super glitchy and high frequencies tend to make it gargle. Putting a wah in front of one sends it haywire - lots of fun! |

WTF they do not sell it in Germany anymore.... grrrrrrrrrr Yes, just saw it. For a moment i thought the B2M wasn't available anymore, too, because the big T did not have them. But the G2M seems to have vanished in germany. There is a USB universal midi tracking tool I2M from Sonuus, but i have no clue if it is worth trying. Has anybody had the chance to use one of these? |

The G2M would be perfect because you can use the guitar signal as well with your gear....
