    This video is a demonstration of the capabilities of the Godin Multiac Concert Grand Guitar in it's Midi capacity. Custom RMC electronics with 13-pin connector for direct control of Roland GR Series and Axon AX100 guitar synths.I am using a Roland GR55 Guitar Synthesiser as a midi outlet only (not using the patches/sounds on this occasion). From there I run a midi out into my RME Fireface 802 audio interface into Cubase Pro 9 (DAW).
    I have demonstrated some different sound patches/samplers from Native Instruments Kontakt 5 Sample Player; Session Horns Pro, Vocalise 1(Heavyosity), Grandeur and The Gent pianos, FM8 synth and Session Strings pro. In addition I have used Steinberg's Halion Symphonic Orchestra and UVI's Gypsy Jazz sampler. Finally I played the Flugalhorn patch from Blues Street Brass by Indigenus.

    I thoroughly agree with you about the Multiac's versatility, I used mine a 1993 model to create my Christmas album as a gift for fellow church member using instrument sounds from instruments I don't play, it delights me greatly.

    11:11 The brass really sounds phenomenal.
    "...and who wouldn't want to be a full brass section?" So true, especially for us trumpet players (probably all brass) who are used to only having control over an individual stream of sound.
    I believe he said it is with Kontakt 5's Session Horns Pro. Thanks for the demo and information!

    That sounded great! I own a Godin LGX-SA and the Multiac, I love them both. They are the best-kept secrets in guitars and I don't understand why. They're made in Canada with top-grade components and woods. The SA has 3 outputs (Electric, Acoustic, and GK), the fretwork is precise and they sound incredible. The price is right as well.

    Thats PERFECT! I am going to put one of those Guitars on my Wish List (which I actually have made one awhile ago). Andrew You have Taught me SO MUCH by this Video Sir! I UNDERSTAND! I have been having an Illiteracy regarding MIDI, and havent done anything with it in my Studio (except I got the cable hooked up from My Tascam DP24 to Interface) And I got a new pair today for My Keyboars to my Interface BUT, i didnt know WHAT I was going to do it after that because I didnt get it, but now I do! That Is SWEEPING, with Your Guitar, now THAT, I Can Do! ...I just Got some MAGIX VSTs...that work the same way that Youre demonstrating (besides being Accompaniment, that I'd have to Accompany, rather) AND since My Instrument is the Guitar, that would be perfect for me.!....I will attempt to use my (cheapy) Casio Keyboard now with The VSTs )casio is Midi capable though). Now I know I say, "cheapy" or inexpensive", but I really Do Appreciate my Gear & I know that with FX like these, My Music will be Better & beautiful too, I hope. Thanks Andrew!

    Really nice explanation of the usage with the synth out. I have the ACS-SA Slim and I absolutely love it. I can't wait until I can get a synth for it. Question - are you able to go out from the GR 55 and into your computer rig to access the instrument plugins? Or are those patches in the synth itself?

    Always good to hear another midi guitarist. I nearly bought the Godin concert, but it had a note that resonated too much compared to the rest of the notes (B on the D string). It was so annoying as it was a pain to eq and record/perform with.
    I had an godin ACS for years. I had to sell it when I stopped using Roland stuff and started using traditional nylon guitars. I really miss my ACS godin, but always prefered the more hollow Multiacs.
    Love your sounds. When I grow up I want session horns and Vocalise!

  • @henry-joemurphy2035
    @henry-joemurphy2035 Pƙed 6 lety +1

    Very well done, Andrew. You showed what a powerful creative tool a guitar can be in arranging and layering sounds. I used to own a Godin midi guitar and Roland synth, but like so many musicians, had to sell it off when I hit some hard times... Of course I regret it now, but maybe someday soon, I'll be able to afford another Godin/Roland midi guitar rig... For all the haters out there. It's just wonderful to be able to create multi-instrument demos or ideas. When performing "LIVE!" one has to be careful to not over-do any of this because it can get old quickly and rather "Gimmicky" ... I LOVE to perform with other musicians, but let's face it... Most clubs and venues have paying the same sh*t money for 30 plus years, and sometimes it's just not possible to hire a keyboard player, horn players, bass etc... It's a wonderful tool for being able to translate an instrument that you play exceptionally well to other instruments and creates even more inspiration for writers and producers and gives "LIVE!" performers some compelling and provocative backing sounds... .You've done a great and play very tasty. Thanks for the video, mate! Cheers!

    Andrew: this is a great video. Thanks for getting me started. Finally, i got time to work on it. I still have the Godin SA guitar which I connect directly to a Roland Juno DS with all those modern sound as compared to the Other synth. I also got a Fishman triple play which as a usb port so it extremely easy to connect to Any computer and other synthesizer. I moved to Logic Pro which has must better support than Cubase. Now, i play music with midi arrangements improvising on top and selecting instruments as you need.

    I played guitar for years but eventually stopped playing when I began getting into the piano. Recently I have wanted to get back into the guitar and now as a music producer am considering buying a midi guitar. Should I buy a guitar especially designed for sending midi or is there some sort of midi add on I could attach to one of my old electric guitars? Specifically, is there an add on for guitars that aren't midi capable which track as well as guitars with native midi?

    Very well done, to see a concert musician with one of these setups in his hands makes this more understandable. I have to ask, if you could give me an idea, in very round numbers, what a setup similar to yours including the guitar might cost?

  • @kitemanmusic
    @kitemanmusic Pƙed 6 lety +1

    I have a Casio MIDI guitar, which I haven't played for several years, but after watching this video I think I will give it another go. My MIDI setup does allow for vibrato if required on strings, but it tends not to track too well, so probably best not to use it. Also you can assign a different instrument to each string, so for example you could have bass guitar on the six and five strings, then another instrument for the other four strings.
    The strange thing was when I played in a live situation, with a piano sound, nobody really noticed it was coming from a guitar. Good in one way I suppose, but bad in another! Perhaps they weren't really listening. Oh well, I still got paid!
    Anyway thanks Andrew for the video. Apart from getting different sounds, you have two adjust your playing to sound like a particular instrument.

    Andrew, I am a Composer and produce my own music. I have been considering on attempting to Obtain The "Audio Production Certificate" from FULL SAIL University (Florida) (Online)..its a 5 Month Course that is divided into 5 categories. I do Understand 4 of them..but the 5th is MIDI.... and besides, as an Audio Engineer, I am aware of the need to be basically familiarized with MIDI, as well as any of the other components of having my Own Studio. You have helped to Breakthru here, to Understand & Appreciate MIDI as the result...I always thought it was Tedious & a drudgery from what Ive seen. I was avoiding it. (lol) Thanks

    @fullmoonfool Pƙed 5 lety +1

    I have been a songwriter for decades and made 16 or so studio recordings using nashville musicians mostly in the country and americana vain. I have only heard of midi and was mostly just confused and curious about midi. I have built my own home studio over the last six years and of course did quite a bit of research on what is available these days and of course have heard of many of the companies you have utilized in this video . But this is the first time I have actually heard any of the actual instruments and I am totally blown away by what you have exposed me too lol I never dreamed it was this convincing. wow!! is all I can say and where in the hell have I been? I guess I was pretty well convinced I would have to start taking keyboard lessons etc. I do play guitar and I have heard you could use guitar as a controller but I have always thought it would be quite "cheesy" for lack of a better word and would be used at best to express arrangement ideas. I am so glad you have opened up my mind FINALLY to this amazing technology and I thank you so much. Excellent video nice playing

  • @joylesstiger
    @joylesstiger Pƙed 5 lety +4

    I own the steel string version with the lipstick Seymour Duncan pickup. They're well crafted instruments, no issues in 8+ years. My takeaway from owning one is that they do everything you can think of pretty well. No real outstanding features other than the vast array of things you can do with it. The midi is a tricky beast, you have to alter your playstyle to suit the type of instrument you're trying to emulate, so a bit of a learning curve. Brass always sounds unacceptably bad to me. Strings are difficult to make smooth progressions with. That's really just a midi problem in general though. Human articulation can't be done justice with samples. The pianos can sound really good, the Rhodes is one of my favs. I bought it to play in a cover band for maximum versatility and it achieved that competently. Its also a great studio Swiss army knife.
    *edit: I just recently changed out the Duncan lipstick for a purple EMG lace sensor and I'm much happier with the tone. The lace is much more crisp and versatile than the lipstick, which was pretty muddy. The swap was very difficult though. Both pickups were an extremely tight fit and there was very little slack in the wiring to work with. I suggest taking it to a professional for such work. The electronics and wiring inside are all very well done, but it's obvious they didn't have modifications in mind.

      You don't need something as expensive as Cubase 9, you can use Garage band. Audio and midi interfaces can be picked up cheaply on eBay. You do, however, need the Roland gr55 or equivalent to transfer the 13din cable into a midi signal.

    I notice you were using vibrato on your guitar while playing a nice flugelhorn sound, is that recognized by your midi setup or just programmed into the Roland sound module?

    • @AndrewKeeping
      @AndrewKeeping  Pƙed 6 lety +4

      I think that was more instinct. However, it does seem to follow the vibrato movement. i play trumpet and try to phrase like i would with the the vibrato and breathing. This particular Kontakt library seems to flow with it.

    Thanks for the excellent demonstration. Quick question, if I just want to use the Multiac as a MIDI controller through a DAW to trigger Native Instruments Komplete Ultimate libraries (and bypassing a Roland GR or Axon), what's the best way to handle this? I'm using a Presonus Audio interface. Thanks!

    • @AndrewKeeping
      @AndrewKeeping  Pƙed 6 lety

      This is not possible I'm afraid, as the 13pin din cable that comes from the guitar has to be converted into midi via the Roland synth. The 13 pin din is not an independant midi cable. Sorry.

    Great video. I tried the GR55 with the Godin LGX-SA, fab analogue guitar which I still have but had to get rid of the GR55 as the guitar was triggering all sorts of ghost notes despite modifying the individual string sensitivity, it was a disaster, such a pity. Still, it encouraged me to take up piano... So every cloud.... This video is a great example of how it should sound. đŸ‘đŸ»

    I have two Godin electric guitars that came equipped with the Fishman Triple Play Midi controller. Tracks perfectly and wireless. I use it all the time as a controller for VSTs inside of Ableton. Just wondering what your thoughts are between the Fishman Triple Play and the MIDI technology in this guitar.

    Hi Andrew, I'm new to GR55 + Multiac, and have a few questions for you if I may.
    First, why did you choose to use midi from the GR55 and purchase an additional tool for more sounds as opposed to use the sounds on the GR55 itself? Is it because you want the option to do some post-processing on the midi tracks you record?
    Second question, how are you not getting any wrong/ghost notes?!?! I set up and calibrated the GR55 to my guitar properly, and many sound presets still produce loads of ghost notes, to the point where it's not really playable. I saw that many people install a subsonic filter in their GR55 to mitigate this issue. Do you have a subsonic filter installed?

    • @AndrewKeeping
      @AndrewKeeping  Pƙed 3 měsĂ­ci

      The 13 pin is a type of cable only used by Roland for syncing with their GR55 synth. It is not a standard midi cable. The GR55 does the work at transferring the information into midi.

  • @ed.t.hansen6499

    do you use primarily kontac 5 or others similar ? Can you control on the fly with foot switches to bring in differnt; normal sounds or blend the withe std guitar?

    • @AndrewKeeping
      @AndrewKeeping  Pƙed 3 lety

      You can do that with GR55. You can blend from the synth with the guitar sound by just adjusting on the guitar. I will have to do a video to demonstrate this.

  • @richirvine4519
    @richirvine4519 Pƙed 2 lety

    I would guess this is doable but can one have the E and A strings say 1 octave lower and the higher strings at normal pitch? I always thought it nice to have Chet Atkins's Octobass sound without having to use bass guitar strings.

    Do you have to use the Roland GR ? Can’t you connect your midi interface directly to the macbook pro and use the sounds of your daw ? My midi keyboard has no sound at all. I connect it via usb to the macbook pro and use the sounds stored in logic pro. Can you do it with the Godin ?

    • @AndrewKeeping

    Hi, forgive my lack of background in electronica, but how to know what is the midi guitar sound like by itself, are the other instruments/software that its connected to make a difference. I'd love to hear what the guitar sounds like on its own, or is that not how this thing works. Thank you.

  • @tonebonetones

    Is there any possibility of a basic set up? By that I mean, what would be the minimum PC software? Would the NI Kontact be enough to do some initial experiments using a such a guitar? I speak as a professional guitarist who has often wanted to try this sort of thing. My PC is about 3 years old, and is only 32 bit, would Kontact run on it, I wonder? I like Godin guitars, indeed I have an old Seagull cedar s60 I bought way back in 1997 in LA that was my main acoustic for 15 years plus. I must try these new Godins, though, asap.

    • @AndrewKeeping
      @AndrewKeeping  Pƙed 6 lety +2

      The very basic set up would be using the Godin (midi) guitar and a Roland Gr55 or such synth. The only way to transfer to midi is via the back of the synth module. It relays the 13 pin din signal into midi. From here you can run into Garage band or any DAW (digital Audio Workstation). There are cheaper options than Cubase Pro9. You can use Cubase Elements which is a fraction of the cost. From here you can use and sample engine to create sounds. It does not have to be NI Kontakt 5. Google the options for less expense. I started recording using 1 microphone, a ÂŁ30 M-audio audio interface and Cubase elements. I just learnt how to get the best sounds using this equipment and learnt what I needed to buy in order to improve my sound and compositions. Still a long way to go.

    I have a slightly different setup, Fender Roland Ready Strat with 13 din to GR55, midi out of GR55 to midi in on Komplete 6 audio interface, using Kontakt 5 in Cubase 9.5 (recently swapped from Sonar Platinum as Gibson are no longer supporting that program). Loading a module in Kontakt 5, say Grand Pianos, With these connections I am not getting any sound trough the DAW? any suggestions

    • @AndrewKeeping
      @AndrewKeeping  Pƙed 6 lety

      First check you are running the MIDI out from the GR55 into your MIDI in of your audio interface. Go through the set up of your MIDI out in the GR55 EDIT page czcams.com/video/rCiiWhGNyOI/video.html
      Try the "omni" on your Kontakt 5 instrument. Failing that;
      go to device setup
      - click the plus symbol
      -select generic remote
      - midi input/output should be your GR55 (it should appear as your audio interface name)
      You also need to change settings in the "quick controls tab" in device setup
      -select your Guitar midi as the midi input
      -make quick controls clicking the learn box and wiggling your control
      -in the selected vst, rightclick your desired knob or whatever and assign to quick control#1-8
      Good luck!
