The material and configuration of the instrument, the electric/electronic/magnetic amplifying system, the air and the reverberation of the room all affect the final sound. Sound modeling, the latest DSP technology, "virtually" reconstructs these objects. Roland's breakthrough Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) uses the advantages of multiple modeling methods and succeeds in accurately emulating existing sounds, as well as producing sounds that have never before been created.

Printed in Japan. Apr 2003 RAM-3704 PBL-GEN-SE BG-3 The Future of Guitar Begins with “GK.” Roland’s passion for guitar synthesis began back in 1977 with the legendary GR-500. This revolutionary system consisted of a highly modified guitar connected to a synth module via Roland’s 24-pin interface (the predecessor of the divided pickup used in modern GK Gear). Now there are more ways than ever to take your guitar and bass playing further. Whether you want high-quality synthesizer sounds, extremely accurate guitar and amp models—or just a way to turn Roland’s GR-500 paved the way for generations of guitar synthesizers your instrument into an expressive MIDI controller—Roland’s got the culminating in the modern GR-33. solution. Find out how GK gear can get you in the game. Play a Range of Expressive Synthesizer Sounds Thanks to the their GK interfaces, the Roland GR-33 and GI-20 deliver the lightning-fast tracking needed to play modern synthesizer sounds and MIDI gear from your guitar. Choose the GI-20 if you already have a MIDI module, or simply plug into the GR-33 for instant access to Roland’s finest synthesizer sounds. Ve r.2 The Industry-Standard 13-Pin Pickup. The Roland 13-pin GK Pickup allows each string to be output as a separate signal, permitting guitar synthesis and effects processing possibilities far beyond conventional guitar pickups. Installing the GK-2A Divided Pickup or GK-2B Divided Pickup for Bass is simple and totally reversible, but the effect you have on your listeners will be permanent. ■ Pickup Comparison ■ Normal guitar pickups output all six Standard Electric Guitar/Bass GK-equipped Guitar/Bass strings in mono.

  • Brief History of Electronic and Computer Musical Instruments
    Brief History of Electronic and Computer Musical Instruments Roman Kogan April 15th, 2008 1 Theremin: the birth of electronic music It is impossible to speak of electronic music and not speak of Theremin (remember that high-pitch melody sound sound in Good Vibrations ?) Theremin was the instrument that has started it all. Invented remarkably early - around 1917 - in Russia by Leon Termen (or Theremin, spelling varies) it was the first practical (and portable) electronic music instrument, and also the one that brought the electronic sound to the masses (see [27]). It was preceded by Thelarmonium, a multi-ton monstrocity that never really get a lot of attention (although technically very innovative, see [25]), and some other instruments that fell into obscurity. On the other hand, Leon Theremin got popular well beyond the Soviet Union (where even Lenin got to play his instrument once!). He became a star in the US and taught a generation of Theremin players, Clara Rockmore being the most famous one. In fact, RCA even manufactured Theremins under Leon's design in 1929 ( [27])!. So what was this instrument ? It was a box with two antennas that produced continuous, high-pitch sounds. The performer would approach the instrument and wave hands around the antennas to play it. The distance to the right (vertical) antenna would change the pitch, while the distance to the left (horizontal) antenna would change the volume of the sound (see [2], [3] for more technical details). The Theremin is difficult to play, since, like on violin, the notes and the volume are not quantized (the change in pitch is continuous).

    Owner’s Manual For the following languages, a PDF version of the Owner’s Manual can be found on the CD-ROM. Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Español, Português, Nederlands What is MIDI? MIDI is an internationally recognized standard for exchanging performance information between electronic musical instruments and computers. For example, in the illustration below, a MIDI signal meaning “the ‘C’ key on the MIDI keyboard was pressed” passes through the A-49 and is received by the computer’s software sound module, and then the software sound module plays the note “C.” MIDI signal Information meaning “the ‘C’ key was pressed” “C” is played Software sound module “C” key is pressed In this way, MIDI is used to send performance information to other instruments; for example “the ‘C’ key was pressed with a certain amount of force,” “the instrument was changed to a violin sound,” “the volume was raised/lowered,” “the pitch was raised/lowered,” etc. In other words, MIDI is the “language of musical instruments.” MIDI signals are merely performance instructions, therefore a MIDI sound module, such as a software sound module, is required to produce sound. All software sound modules and DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software support MIDI. MEMO DAW software is a term that refers to music production software. Note Do not connect the A-49 to the computer until the driver has been installed (p. 13). Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled:”USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (p. 3) and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p. 4). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit.
