Neural guitar synth

  • I can't see a single reason why I would ever want to use a guitar synth when both on stage and in the studio I can grab any usb keyboard and trigger a VSTi or even internal sounds.


    I do use a Boss SY200 to layer my guitar sounds in my band, there's a few moments in the set when the synth is louder than the guitar but it's still all pads/fuzz-octave stuff to accentuate my guitar parts.


    Of course, your mileage may vary but outside of virtuoso playing, this tech is unlikely to have a significant impact on music.

  • First of all ..the beers are always on me. Old family tradition.😉


    The "reason" why anyone would "need" a guitar as a trigger instrument is IMO very simple.


    Everyone has one. Everyone can play a few chords on guitar. I can imagine so many situation in the studio or ofcourse on stage where it would be a huge advantage to do keys stuff with your guitar rig. A band with two guitar players using these possibilities.. easy answer,think about it..

    What about live?

  • Just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should, even in the hands of one of the greatest guitar technicians in history. I prefer him on guitar (and when he's not cramming 32 notes into every bar).

    The time has come to do it.


    Some things.. we just can't stop..

  • I was a teenager in the 80's, so I went through the first wave of keyboard music and love it. 🙂

    It was the time of "more is more". Decadent innocence..MTV.. And ofcourse there was no fear of kitsch and hyperbole cheesiness.


    But then came Kurt Cobain and killed it all..including the bombast keyboard sounds,shred guitar and himself..
