What Godin says about the guitar: The LGX-SA is a three-voice guitar featuring electric and acoustic guitar sounds, plus the infinite possibilities provided by synth access.
The output from the bridge transducer system in the LGX-SA produces six separate signals—one for each string.
This divided signal is called hexaphonic and is used to. I've been using it for a little over 5 years now and haven't so far felt the need to purchase a new electric because this guitar is so multi-faceted. It has all the normal specs of a great electric.
Page 2 The xtSA is a multi-voice guitar. A jack-of-all-trades and master of all of them, the xtSA's incredible sound power begins with three distinct voices: electric guitar, acoustic guitar and synth controller. Well, I have Can you understand? I contacted Godin and asked for a circuit diagram so that I could check my work.
Absolutely with you it agree. It seems to me it is good idea. I agree with you. Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published. Back in I was approached by a very talented Canadian guitarist who wanted to be able to control both vintage Roland 24 pin GR-series synthesizers and modern Roland 13 pin GK-series synthesizers with one guitar, either a 13 or 24 pin guitar. The SBC is the unit I built to meet this need.
The unit has both 13 and 24 pin inputs, and a master analog switch to select between the two. There are six amplifiers for each string input, used primarily to boost the 13 pin signals to the 24 pin format, but they can also be used individually to amplify any single string input, whether 13 or 24 pin.
Journey guitarist Neal Schon was frequently seen in the early eighties playing a Roland G guitar paired with the GR Right off the top let me say that hands down, my favorite feature on this guitar is the neck. Regardless of whatever bells and whistles a manufacturer adds to a guitar, all the action takes place on the neck, and for the me, the LGX-SA neck is exceptional.
The neck is mahogany, with a natural satin type finish. I prefer necks with a natural finish. Somehow glossy lacquered necks do not feel as organic, and can cause problems if you sweat a lot when you play. I found that super thin necks are fun at first, but can fatigue me because the extra effort to keep my hand in the right shape when playing for hours.
If a neck is too chunky, like a baseball bat, I have a hard time getting my fingers to the frets as well. The LGX-SA reminds me of my favorite Strat necks, with just the shape and contours for me to comfortably play for hours. The Ebony fretboard with medium nickel frets is the right choice for a guitar with a synthesizer output.
The density of the wood grain and tight pores give the ebony neck a slick quality, conducive to fast playing, and a bright, well-defined sound. Any guitar with an ebony neck is going to be a step above in playability, but the ebony also imparts a clarity that helps with synthesizer tracking as well. The body on the guitar is also mahogany, with a beautifully figured maple top.
Both looks excellent. You can see for yourself what a gorgeous finish this guitar has, it is just stunning. The guitar has a five-way pickup select switch, with a master volume and tone control.
In the upper bout of the guitar you will also find the controls for the RMC piezo pickups. Located in the bridge of the guitar are six individual piezo elements. The volume and 3-band active eq controls allow for the ability to shape the piezo sound from a large body acoustic, to a smaller parlor guitar. Last but certainly not least, is the Roland Ready pin output.
Modern Roland synthesizers like the GR, have the ability to model all kinds of electric and acoustic guitars. Given that the LGX-SA has both electric and acoustic signals as well, you can see how it is possible to create deep, rich acoustic and electric guitars sounds from just one guitar by combining both the LGX-SA normal output with modeled tones from Roland synthesizers. The ability to combine guitar sounds with triggered synth sounds is the feature that I think makes a guitar synthesizer unique.
If you only want synth tones, then a keyboard makes for a more reliable and convenient triggering source. But layering synth and guitar sounds brings something new and valuable to the game. By default, most of the GR factory patches do not use the normal output from your guitar.
The exception are factory pacthes Lead , , and If you want to hear what your normal guitar pcikups sound like through some COSM modeling effects, playing with these three patches are the fastest way to get results.
