Roland has made guitar synthesis easier than ever with the new GR-20
Guitar Synthesizer and GK-3 Divided Pickup. The GR-20 makes playing
high-quality synthesizer sounds from any steel-stringed electric guitar
(including Les Paul-type instruments) simple! Just attach the included
GK-3 Divided Pickup, choose a sound and go. An all-new interface makes
playing sounds easy using the Bank knob for sound categories and Value
dial for variations, while new digital pitch detection provides
superior tracking. With the GR-20, guitarists can explore a universe of
new sounds.
Compact, Easy Patch Selection and Lightning-Fast Tracking
The GR-20's new interface makes it operate more like a compact pedal.
Sounds can be selected using the Bank knob to choose a category (like
Strings/Orchestral, Brass, Bass/Guitar, Organ/Keyboard, Synth/Lead or
even new Rhythm and Percussion loops). Individual sounds can be
selected using the Value dial. And with 48-note polyphony and Roland's
latest synth engine, the sounds are nothing short of the best - all
playable with lightning-fast tracking via Roland's new digital pitch
detection technology.
A New Pickup for Easy Installation
The front end of the GR-20 is the new GK-3 Divided Pickup, which is not
only easy and safe to install, but also comes with a 1/4-inch jack for
normal guitar input. The pickup's adjustable curve design can be
adapted to fit a variety of guitars - keeping an even distance between
the strings for better response. Adjusting the pickup cable length is a
snap by coiling the pickup cable inside the controller unit. The GK-3
also includes a special attachment plate for use with Les Paul-type
guitars.
Your Guitar and Roland's Synthesizer - A Perfect Match!
Once installed, guitarists can create entirely new sounds by blending
their normal guitar tone with the GR-20's synthesizer sounds via a
large GK knob right on the pickup. And thanks to Roland's innovative
Patch Link function, the GR-20 can be easily paired up with a
MIDI-capable multi-effects processor like the BOSS GT-6. Once
connected, this allows you to easily assign GR-20 Patches to match
effect Patches in MIDI-capable processors. Now more than ever, the
GR-20 is making guitar synthesis a simple and powerful way to expand a
guitarist's sonic arsenal.
