Roland GR-55 > Roland GR-55 Discussion
GR-55 frustration - (Was Original Jazz Fusion tunes with (GR-1)
Grytpype-Thynne:
Thanks for the kind words and interest folks, I'm going to throw another rough draft up there soon. Around September I'm going to take a month off work and finish some of these suckers, and record about 4-5 new ones. I'm looking foward to using the GR-55 for this next project.
The bass in EBS is a Roland U-220 sound. Played in with a GR-1. Although I play bass all you get is one sound, so I tend to use synth sounds for bass.
All of the recordings were done in an ancient version of Cubase (pre SX).
The guitar parts in EBS were audio and were copied and moved up and and down an octave. The last verse was copied and pasted up a 5th.
Reverie is pure strat into and AXE-FX Ultra with whammy bar.
All of the distortion were done with a Korg A3. (still a useful unit in my opinion)

I had to look those up.
The Roland U-220 is a sound module
and the GR-1 is a Roland guitar synthesizer
So, you are triggering the sounds of the U-220 sound module using a MIDI connection?
My GR-55 should be here today. I just got off the phone with Roland and they say that I can never expect the tracking to be as good using MIDI into an external device as it is within the GR-55. If I understood correctly, they said that I will have better luck with the tracking using the USB option rather than going through my Tascam US-144 MKII MIDI interface unit. I guess I'll have to try all options to see for myself.
I'm hoping I can get my guitar to sound like the bass in your EBS song for that is one sweet sounding bass alright!
So, is that an automated tremelo bar you are using in a program or are you actually using a physical tremelo bar to get the tremelo effect?
I'm not certain what an AXE-FX Ultra is

AxeFX is the processor a lot of people in the biz have popularized produced by Fractal Audio. it's about $2000 and is a super modeler/effects unit.
The AxeFX II just got released and there's a big waiting list for it.

So, it's a guitar synthesizer??????????????????? ???
I feel so dumb having to ask such questions
People tend to assume I'm smarter than they think
