Here are the sounds I want:

Acoustic similation, with delay
Violin, maybe with delay
Versatile delay
Versatile reverb
Grand piano synth?

I know I would have to get a special pickup, but where do I go from there?

Check out this video:



Can someone inform me about Roland synth setups? And maybe mention the model names?

Thanks you. :)

VG-88, because you can use the FX (ie. delay, reverb) separately:
- use a model'd guitar 'dry'
- use your normal pickups with effects
etc...

GR-20 or possibly GR-33 for piano's and violin, GR09 could be used, but the 20 and 33 have a better (newer) soundengine..

a better option would be the Terratec Axon100 v2..
http://audioen.terratec.net/index.php?name=EZCMS&menu=100&page_id=6
it has excellent tracking and sounds

or you could use a Roland GI-20 with your choice of soundmodules...


...be aware though: almost every guitar-model in a synthesizer will suck (maybe not so with the guitars in a Yamaha Motif-rack, but stilll)...

so if you're after a good acoustic tone, I'd suggest looking into either RMC or Graphtech's GHOST system as a hex-(midi)pickup...
they utilize piezo's, which is the way to go for acoustics...


that being said: the VG-88 has most of your wishes covered...
