Members girevik Posted January 24, 2012 Members Share Posted January 24, 2012 you guys think I would be alright just getting some $200-$300 monitors? Monitors aren't really meant for live performance because the "throw"/projection is short compared to powered speakers. I got my ZXA-1 for $450 btw. Are you going to be playing big or small clubs? Are you playing in a band with loud musicians (loud drummer, 2nd guitarist)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bill Ruppert Posted January 25, 2012 Members Share Posted January 25, 2012 You can do that in mono with the VG-99.Cosm guitar out one side of the VG-99 into your pedals and back into the guitar inputon the back of the Vg-99. Then through VG effects and out the un-used output side of the VG-99. I believe I put directions and a patch for this up on the VG forum... Yeah, it'd be nice to patch my Paul Trombetta Tornita fuzz between, say, a virtual baritone guitar, and delay/reverb in the VG-99, but I've already gone down the path of splitting my guitar signal and having one going into a pedal rig, in parallel with the VG-99. I know at least one of the TC Electronic multieffects pedals has an effects loop, which is pretty cool. I think it's the model Steve Vai uses, and he patches in his signature wah pedal or something into it. But I don't feel compelled to invest in yet another multieffects unit when the VG meets so many of my needs already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aliensporebomb Posted January 30, 2012 Members Share Posted January 30, 2012 Well it's certainly possible to make sounds you'd never hear out of any guitar but it's also very possible to create musical sounds that you'll find it difficult to get anywhere else.

Members sfarfsky Posted January 30, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2012 I started doing that immediately I'm still overwhelmed by what this thing is capable of. this thing has so many features, its going to take me a while to master it. Does this thing have the capabilities of most synths? I noodled around on a microkorg vocorder today and dug the presets. Is tis thing capable of getting those tones? how do i gain access to drums? Is that a feature of the vg99? I could swear i saw it in the promo videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rfurtkamp Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 If you want a hybrid of synth and limited VG stuff, just go straight for a GR-55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aliensporebomb Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 It can produce sounds indistinguishable from synthesizers even though it is not primarily a synthesizer. I'm working on a demo right now I might upload so you can check out - all sounds were from the VG-99 except drums. Drums is not part of its pallette really unless you are triggering drums in a guitar-to-midi fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members girevik Posted February 2, 2012 Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thank you, sir!!! I'll give all this a try sometime soon. You can do that in mono with the VG-99.Cosm guitar out one side of the VG-99 into your pedals and back into the guitar inputon the back of the Vg-99.

Well, Bill Ruppert made a Caribbean style steel drum patch for VG-99, but I'm guessing you'r talking about usual drum sounds like snare drum, cymbals, etc. If you want to play drums on your guitar, you'll have to connect something to the VG-99's MIDI Out. If you want virtual analog sounds like the MicroKorg's check out the GR300 synth model in the VG-99. Bill Ruppert made some great sounds layering the GR300 model with the Brass model.

Members elantric Posted February 3, 2012 Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 or consider the Roland GR-55 - its a Guitar to PCM synth that one has drums. and it has one COSM guitar modeler channel too, similar to VG-99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members girevik Posted February 3, 2012 Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 or consider the Roland GR-55 sfarsky received his VG-99 already on 1/21. Since he likes the Microkorg sound, perhaps he could take a look at the Korg Electribes (used or new) for drum sounds as well as the Korg style of virtual analog sound. sfarsky, there are two kinds of Electribes - the "synth" type and the "sampler" type. Since you're new to all of this, I'd go for the "synth" type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sfarfsky Posted February 11, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 11, 2012 I tried for some time earlier but I couldn't seem to get this tone. The staccato picking guitar during the verse. I can hear some reverb, and delay. The tone seems somewhat clean to me cOZlAunMb8o also, how do I program the damn ribbon in the editor? I changed all sorts of settings on the editor and nothing seemed to happen. if i have a have a delay in the chain how do i set up the ribbon to control the output/volume of the delay? I'm gonna have to go to college to use this awesome piece of gear Good thing is I won't have gas for a loooooong time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sfarfsky Posted February 11, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 11, 2012 also, dont judge my music please I'm on the spear of creativity with my roots seated in 200 AC. I'm just a normal melody and harmony guy like you. I study the classical/romance/whatever fellows and the newest pop club. I think the andy griffith tune is one of the best ever!

Members aliensporebomb Posted February 12, 2012 Members Share Posted February 12, 2012 yes, I would like to hear it! Working - something strange is happening to the intro to the tune when it's printed from multitrack to two track, the first second gets abruptly cut off. I will see about re-doing this first section tomorrow morning sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
