V-Synth-XT+Guitar!

Hi,

did you have any luck connecting the guitar output to the 1/4" front connector with the Hi-Z since you last posted?

All broshures are talking about using the V-Synth XT as an analog guitar processor, but I couldn't even get one single sound out of it.

If I'll find out first I will post step-by-step instructions.

All the best,

babuppa

Did you check if in Mode, System, Audio I/F, the option MIC Input is set to ON ?

I believe I checked them, but I'll double check it on the weekend.

I talked on the phone a couple of months ago withan individual from Roland Canada, who told me that it is not possible to obtain an output using an analog guitar signal (sic!).

I believe I was talking to the wrong individual.....


Thanks for your reply

Babuppa, indeed you were

Maybe is a silly answer, but you also need to play a note on your midi keyboard to hear your guitar through v synth.

If you don't want to keep your finger on the key, you can make an arpeggiator pattern with a looping whole note at full velocity.

This way I've made some really sweet bass sounds

Thanks guys for the quick replies,
PauloF, yes I checked them as you suggested but no sound from speaker.

To my other responder, I believe selecting a midi sound to loop through is fun, but I nee to use the V-Synth XT just as advertised as "analog processor" using my guitar's 1/4" mono cable to connect to the front combi connector with the Hi-Z.

Any other ideas??

Thanks

babuppa,
Sorry, but I was answering from my Nokia phone and as that is a little hard to do, I just gave the most common hint...the MIC jack switch...

In fact you have to use a patch with EXT as Osc1 or 2, so it accepts wave from an external source (in this case Audio from the MIC input) and then pressing a key on the XT keyboard controller and holding the note (with a pedal or by means of a programmed button on the MIDI keyboard controller) it does the trick.

Then you should be able to hear the guitar sound. Then is just a matter of applying and messing with COSM, TVA, and Effects processors on the XT.

To be honest with you... IMHO the XT is not the best thing to apply effects to a guitar sound. In my case I use the SonicCell, that is much more adapted to do that.

Cheers
Paulo

I'm talking about the same thing. Processing another instrument.

You connect the guitar, and you need to keep a key pressed down in order to hear a sound. So, to not have to do this, you create an arpeggiator pattern with a whole note looping
