midi guitar playing and gear

GI-10 hold pedal?

I have a hold pedal that works as it should, but not how I want. It holds the notes, then will either play synth
notes on top, or hold the synth notes you play. What I want is to be able to hold the notes, then play regular
guitar on top, not synth guitar. I haven't yet used the expression pedal, is that something that will let me
do this? For instance set it to synth volume (somehow), and use the pedal to vol-control the synth signals?
Can someone give guidance?

Re: GI-10 hold pedal?

I think that only the Axon (and Blue Chip) units have this capability by 
the use of 'playing zones'.

Bobby

That function is also available in the GI-20, but not the GI-10.

Hi Kevin,

You can download the GI-10 manual from Roland.

RE: Re: GI-10 hold pedal?

According to the manual, there are 2 types of hold available. I don't know
if either will hold without triggering when that string is plucked again,
but if one of the holds does work that way, you could make your guitar out a
separate signal, rather than mixing it with the synth signal.

Ken

Re: GI-10 hold pedal?

One weird thing I notice is that the GK volume knob also seems to impact the notes that are being held with the
hold switch. Otherwise I could hold the notes, then turn the volume down while I play other notes. So I'm
guessing while it holds the midi notes, it also sends that synth voume as midi data that adjusts the overall
volume. So the whole thing is affected.

Guess I'll have to live with it since I can't afford a GI20 or better.

Re: GI-10 hold pedal?

I can't speak for the GI-10, but it sounds like what you want to use is Sostenuto. I run my bass with GK-3B
pickup -> Axon AX-100 -> Roland XV-2020 synth. In the XV sostenuto is CC 66. When you turn sostenuto on
(values 64-127) any midi notes currently playing are sustained, until you turn sostenuto off (values
0-63). Sostenuto has no effect on notes played after it's turned on.

Re: GI-10 hold pedal?

Agreed. I just grabbed what I could afford, so I'll have to make do until I can upgrade. :)
On an earlier question - yes, I have both footswitches attached to the hold, and both work as advertised.
There's just no way to do it with GI-10.

Re: GI-10 hold pedal?

The GI-10 does have sustenuto (thanks for the term!) as one of the 2 possible hold styles. I have both hooked
up. What I really need is to drop the synth signal altogether after the hold, which is really the
"synth-volume pedal" from another thread. Then I can hold the notes for a warm background pad, and play
guitar over it. That's what I'm trying to get after. Either hold function still receives midi signals, so I
have to go outside that to stop the midi from being sent. 

I want to stop ALL midi signals however I can once the hold switch captures the notes. I need some independent
way to do it. 
Related: 
* some of the Reaper VST's don't work with the GK synth volume (another thread)
* when I turn down synth volume, it affects all the midi, even the held notes (DOH!!)
* What about use of the expression pedal somehow? Or will that affect the held notes as well?

This seems like a common thing to want to do. Stop midi signals while I'm holding a background pad, but not
affect the held notes. I just don't know if it was solved anywhere or if GI-10 is just too limited.

Re: Re: GI-10 hold pedal?

I can do this with a Roland VG-8, US-20 Switcher and any Roland GR or GI boxI.

It is currently, easiest done with my Ztar because I can multiple zone it so one part of the neck is synth and
another part of the neck is guitar samples.

This also, with two handed tapping, allows me to have both sounds  in completely different counterpoint at
the same time, with or without a hold function.

Re: GI-10 hold pedal?

Les... i guess this means you switch from the GI-10 to the VG-8 (both of which I use) with the US20 (which is
$$$). When you do that and hold a note from the GI-10, it actually holds the notes? It doesn't shut them off
when you switch over?

Re: Re: GI-10 hold pedal?

First, it silences the notes when you switch over.

Second, what you describe trying to do with a Roland rig is difficult, but possible.

Here is the problem: the neck has to be divided so the top strings sound the guitar only and the bottom strings
sound the synth only.

Although this can limit playable area, you don't need a US-20 to do this.
Needless to say, if you place a CC64 hold on the bottom strings while you jam on VG guitar on the top strings,
you'll get the effect you describe.

Btw, I have a GI-20, not a GI-10.

Re: GI-10 hold pedal?


Hi all.
(I just started looking at this group again because I got a GR-55 yesterday after not using MIDI guitar for years)

A long time ago I built a box that would accomplish what you want on the GR-50. You put this circuit in between
your guitar and the GI-10, and it disconnects the hex pickup lines from the GI-10 at the same time as pushing
one of the buttons on the pickup, which you need to have set to do Sostenuto-S.

Maybe some version of this would work on the GI-10. Can you make the GI-10 treat one of the pickup buttons as a
hold button? I've never used one. Or is there is a pedal input on it that can be made to function as Sostenuto,
you could wire this box to there instead. Sorry, I can't suggest anything that doesn't involve building
your own hardware!

Re: GI-10 hold pedal?

Thank you! This will put me on a path to a solution! Exactly what I'm looking for. We'll see what the GI-10 can
do with this.

I was just looking at the manual for the GI-10. Since it has an input for a hold switch, you should wire it a
little differently than in my GR-50 mod. On the GR-50 there is no Hold footswitch input; you can only
activate the Sostenuto-S function with one of the buttons on the GK-2 pickup. So my mod has the footswitch
wired to pin 10, which is S1. In your case, you could leave that off and just add another 1/4" jack that is
hooked up in parallel with the jack to your footswitch. Then plug a 1/4" cable from the new jack to the
GI-10's Hold pedal input. I'm not sure if the GI-10's hold pedal is normally open or normally closed, you
might have to add that inverter gate on the schematic to make it work.

My mod also has the capability to plug in a second footswitch that will activate the S2 button (pin 11 on the
13-pin cable). That may or may not be useful to you. You could just leave that off if you don't need it.

free notation software

Just found a couple of useful tools for quick checking of
midi files. Anvil Studio can record midi in realtime (!) and
it is VST compatible. You can edit notes or use the piano
roll editor:
http://www.anvilstudio.com/

This looks really good and it prints sheets in a good quality
though you can not edit much:
http://www.notation.com/DownloadNotationPlayer.htm

Happy midi-ing!

I have Anvil Studio, even with "the Works", but I'm not even sure if I
have it (re)installed on my music computer.

The strong point of Anvil Studio is (to me) its guidance, its screens
that tell you where you are, so to say.
It's not intimidating.

As "bang for the buck" it may not be the best, not even with Anvil
Studio Works!.

I would recommend SynthFont, donationware at
<http://www.synthfont.com/>. It may have evolved into a full-featured
MIDI editor (still without notation, I think) from a MIDI player using
sound fonts.

Most "bang for the buck" that I'm aware of is Harmony Assistant,
shareware for Mac, Windows and Linux at
<http://myriad-online.com/en/products/harmony.htm>.

In the next coming up version 2.x you can work with tabulator.
I try the beta version and it woks fine
