Hey Guys,
I am finally getting around to building a synth setup around the Ghost Piezo Midi system I installed into my Les Paul. I went a few steps further with installing a Fernandez Sustainer and retro fitting the piezo pickups in a Floyd Rose FRX Trem. I built this as my Dr.Spock/Robert Fripp for progressive music. Now I am getting caught up with various applicationms of Roland, Midi Guitar 2, JamStik? and Axon.

So far it seems the Axon Ax 100 MK II is the way to go, but hard to find? If you were to build a new set up which way would you lean? I've also come across 24 to 13 pin converters for older Roland synths? I guess there are many options and different ways to address this. Here is what I do know, I'm not looking to play sax, or piano on guitar, but more or less create some unique tones, landscapes, etc in the vein of Bowie, Eno, Fripp. And if I'm not mistaken I think Fripp uses an Axon too?

But they are hard to find, I have found a few Blue Chip Axon's, but who can update them? If there is a service, or if I can install the proper hardware, I'd be willing to give it a try..otherwise I guess I should remain patient and wait for a Mark II to pop up for sale? Then again I may be totally wrong and be in left field?

Any tips or advice will greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jerry

If you're into unique tones SY-1000 is the way to go.
Especially if you're into programming and looking for new sounds.
It also has a lot of other features than synth to offer,
both in terms of instrument modeling and fx.
And no latency , nearly no glitches after the last update.

There's lots of great patches on the forum

The piezo might not be the ultimate PU but try is my advice.

I play Country music too, I'm just not sure which country it's from...
