Members keef_usa Posted April 25, 2014 Members Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hello; I play guitar in a function band and would like some opinions from anyone who uses a MIDI guitar rig for saxophone sounds. I have an *old* Roland GK-2A pickup on a Strat and the *old* Roland GR-09 (blue) guitar synth. The preset sounds itself I found underwhelming, although I liked it better when I layered the preset tenor and the 'overblown' tenor together. If I knew of a good source for the sax sound I would look more seriously at the Godin Tripleplay guitar to use as a guitar/saxophone/synth. (The Godin/Tripleplay, as far as I know, has to go into a PC or Mac instead of a guitar synth.)Other notes: I can't play jazz; we're talking more King Curtis, Bobby Keys style parts for your Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett covers. Also, I know a lot of what makes the sax sound like the sax is the blowing, vs the guitar's picking; I wonder whether a talkbox tube could be hacked to interact with a guitar synth somehow. Of course talkbox tubes and the resulting spit seem kinda gross to me.Thanks for any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kenact Posted January 19, 2015 Members Share Posted January 19, 2015 The GR-33 & GR-20, both have some nice preset sax sounds. The GR-55 has some great capabilities, but you typically have to work to get the sound you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
