YESS! I just went mad and bought myself the Boss GP-10 COSM effects/GK processor/guitar to MIDI/audio interface all-singing all-dancing box of tricks. This thing is incredibly good, sounds great, lets me get rid of my old Line6 Pod, the old Roland guitar to MIDI box and my ancient VG processor.

The 12-string and acoustic sounds will be very useful for late night songwriting on headphones. Here's a very badly played test of it, five tracks of the GP-10 played over EZDrummer. All the sounds apart from the drums are my partscaster triggering the GP-10 ...

I make no apology for the sloppy playing, I'm a kid with a new toy, I'm recording while knackered and I need a sandwich before I start to go light headed.

And yes, I had to try using the internal synth along with a modelled guitar AND the straight guitar pickups theough my amp AND using the guitar to MIDI to trigger two external synths, a Roland JV and a Novation Xio. Sounded ... extraordinary. Great fun for anyone who's interested in trying out a GK pickup.

Not entirely sure about the yellow colour scheme though.

Congrats! Could not load the audio clip though. Maybe it's my connection, I'll try again.

Oh, and yellow rocks!!

Right, it's bedtime here but I've spent the entire evening making utterly bizarre noises. Synthesized sounds combined with guitar models, very interesting. I'll doubtless upload some better demo tunes to soundcloud when I get round to it.

Very cool! 8) Would it sound different if it was another colour?

On the off chance that you haven't seen this particular video:

The B-bender trick is worth the price of admission imho.

Have fun with the new toy,

I saw all the videos of the GP-10 on youtube before I got the credit card out! I've used polyphonic pitch shift on an old Roland VG-88 a while ago to get a similar efftect, bending from open Emin to Amin so now I'm going to go back to all my old recordings and record the VG parts again with better sounds from the GP-10.

Next job will be to mount the Roland GK pickup internally in the partscaster using a GK Kit module ...
