GI20Editor - Roland GI-20 GK-MIDI Guitar Interface Editor

Via the developer, Amedeo Farello: "I have just completed version 2.1 of GI20Editor, a software editor for the Roland GI-20 GK-MIDI guitar interface.

Besides being the only alternative to programming the device through a knob, a two digit display and a few buttons, GI20Editor can greatly enhance the guitar/synthesizer connection experienced through the GI-20.

New in version 2.1 is the possibility for each patch to send up to 8 user defined MIDI Control Change messages for each string/channel to the 'synthesizer output' device.

GI20Editor is available now in the Mac App Store at $13.99." [Version 1.5 for Windows is available here]
