Wow now thats cool great sound mate.

On the three GR-20 pieces uploaded 6/8/11 this is how it works. In a nutshell - my guitar replaces a keyboard - but can do more. Everything you hear is driven by me playing my Fender Mustang in one improvised pass. Now, for each song the Fender Mustang by itself (or through an amp simulator) is heard - this sound comes from the traditional pick ups on the guitar. Besides that I have installed a Roland GK-3 pick up on my Mustang. This pick up has 6 tiny picks ups - one for each string and connects to a fairly large switch and then a 1/4" cable with some 11 lines - regular guitar output and 6 outputs for the GK-3. This cable connects to the GR-20 synthesizer / midi interface. The GR-20 first decodes, almost instantly, the note each string is playing. It then converts that to midi pitch information and shoves that out the back. More on that later. Also, since the GR-20 is a synthesizer besides, it takes the pitch information and routes it to an internal sound (if desired). The really interesting part is what happens when I route that midi output to my computer. At my computer Sonar lets me assign that midi data to any number of synthesizers / samplers/ what-have-you all at the same time. So, if I want a voice or strings or piano - no problem. As for drums - Kontakt has a really neat groups of sampled drum sets that are a combination of "one shots" and smaller loops. So for instance on one of the pieces when I played the C below middle C I got a snare roll, play the B below it I get the accent that finishes the roll. So, by playing many notes I get a complex assortment of drum sounds that are in time with my playing. I've used this technique before - I am learning how to control it better - and the response is different for each of the dozen or so drum kits packaged with Kontakt - and then consider the effect of different tempos - the result is a fair amount of variety.

Peachy!

Jazzerremendous...........

I can listen to this all day! awesome!

Outstanding.

Love it

Killer sound and nice playing

some very moody blues there (not referring to the band)! Well played. Some old Beck/Clapton/Page sounds shining through.

cool composition man. you asked about "One Chord & Four Notes" - nope i don't think i ever used b major, only arpeggiated down Bsus2.

Nice one mate excellent.

Most midi software should do the same you need a usb guitar link and midi software to play the guitar into then assign an instrument piano classical guitar whatever takes your fancy.

http://www.energy-xt.com/ sorry mate it is xt not x2 I got it bundled with my behringer midi board

It's all in the way you mix it and play with it mate.

I used an old ovation that I borrowed. Glad you liked it mate

Now that's cool mate great sound, oh and I do not have a lute just used acoustic guitar. Cheers mate

Nice - I like the calm.

funky electro - strange sounds from another dimension - nicely done!!

excellent!

I like the vocals and song writing here. A bit post-Beatlesque

Is this Paul's extreme stretch? Nice work!

hey a George tribute would not be a bad thing! This is great version!! Excellent collaboration!

what I did was play two tracks of violin with a viola bow and 1 track of fretless guitar bowed with the viola bow and finger picked with your track. I then noise reduced the takes and sliced them into appropriate loops - with the two styles of playing fretless separate into 4 channels of Sonar's Matrix view. Then I wanted more time so I took your track and reversed it and tacked it onto the end. After that I set up matrix view with the loops and effects into 4 audio channels. (guitar rig, dblue glitch, lexicon reverb, cakewalk amp sim absynth 5 effects and camel space) Some of the clips got effects as well. I then performed matrix view live against your track + reversed track. This left the clips in the audio track - some of those I randomly reversed the audio here and there. Then I mastered and uploaded. One other thing I did to you track was impose a volume envelope and then put a compressor on top - those two things kinda fight it out.

I liked this quartet a lot - better than No. 4. Melodically it just appealed.

yes! this is great Lalo!

love the effects in here.

excellent - sounds like dreamtime. I love it.

I like your guitar work here - especially past 2:10 - an improvisation?

nope - not heard of robert wyatt - or the music of soft machine for that matter that I can remember.

like the harmony vocals a lot!

nice groove!

Are these clips of Pelosi or Phyllis Schlafly? Excellent tune!

great voice and lyrics!

I like this - makes me want to give this technique a try.

I like it - very gentle.

ambient game music ?
