So…Why a company REMOVES functionality from units instead of improving it, is a total mystery to me. The only way (IMHO) one can really handle the idea of Live Looping via midi instruments, at least with hardware. Many of you have heard me sing the praises of the GR30s Arp, and my love of Arps in general. which brings me to my main disappointment of the unit, one that I knew about from before my purchase: not by some sloppy old hacks stubby fingers.
OK, Main problem with the “New sounds” like the Acid Basses and Syncs are that… YOU CANT PLAY THOSE SOUNDS FROM A GUITAR… They only sound good if they are sequenced, tightly and fast. those bastard Phili stabs… who uses them? you tell me? you know the Do-Whop Skat singing the general midi banjos, the fucking pan-pipes and wait for it wait for it. gazzilions of organs.ĪND THEN… theres the same old set of totally unusable shit that they always stuff into these things.
#Roland gr 55 patches for sale Patch#
Theres the “samples”, pianos, flutes., strings etc… Hmmm… OK the cello is nice, and thankfully ONE strings patch is usable… not ONE good piano. These immediately got saved into the user area for later tweaking.
The VCO sync screams and X-mod sounds, some, but not enough, floaty pads, very few grainy sounds…and one or two pling plong sinewave things… all nice…. Some of the sounds seem to be there to tick the “modern synth sound” box. These 2 are PCM samples and vary alot in quality. a modeled guitar sound, 3 & 4, Two synth tones. Per has covered most of the layout of the unit, so I apologize if some of this is repetition, but basically you have 4 main sound sources per patch. I have had the GR55 for about a month now, and due to work and family commitments, I cant really say that I’ve delved very deep with it, but here goes. Lets take that one now, and the drum-machine later. The Korg Electribe ESX and the much lauded Roland GR55 Guitar synth. Recent sales of neglected gear have resulted in two purchases.
