"http://www.joness.com/gr300/GM-70.htm... The specialized Roland BC-13/GM-70 Turbo circuit board also reconfigures the way volume commands are processed. With the original Roland GM-70, you can have 100% synth output and 0% guitar. Or 0% synth, and 100% guitar. Or any mix between, such as 75% synth, and 25% guitar. But not 100% synth, and 100% guitar. With the GM-70 Turbo Plus, you can have 100% synth, and 100% guitar. The master volume now directly controls the synth volume regardless of the mix/blend control, and the mix/blend controls guitar volume control, dependent on the master volume level."



Roland GR-55 Advanced MIDI Control Tutorial Demo GM-70 Turbo and IMG2010

Published on Jun 12, 2013

"Both the Roland GR-55 and VG-99 offers extensive capabilities to add expressive control through MIDI continuous controllers. Almost any parameter can be controlled remotely via MIDI, and the user can specify the control range, the polarity, and dial in the exact musical effect they want to achieve.

This video clips steps through a few examples of MIDI control using the Ibanez IMG2010 guitar, and the GM-70 Turbo with the GR-55. I am using the IMG2010 since it offers more control possibilities than any guitar synth controller ever made, but the principles are the same with any MIDI controller, such as a Roland FC-300"

Roland GM-70 Turbo Vintage Guitar Synth w/ 13-pin GR-55 VG-99 and 5-pin MIDI ouput

"In terms of MIDI continuous control power, the GM-70 remains unmatched. But the pitch-to-MIDI tracking on the GM-70 is slow and woefully inadequate by modern standards. To bring the GM-70 into the modern era, the Turbo version has a dedicated circuit board with a DB25-pin interface installed in place of the original 24-pin connector.

The interface board functions as an integrated Roland BC-13, converting the vintage 24-pin guitar signals into the modern Roland 13-pin format. This enables direct control of modern synths like the GR-55 or VG-99 with a vintage guitar."

"The Roland GR-55 is used with a vintage Ibanez IMG0210 and the Roland GM-70 Turbo. The GM-70 Turbo outputs both 13-pin modern controls signals, plus MIDI control messages. This demo highlights the unique virtual whammy bar on the IMG2010. Used with the GR-55, you can program the bar to bend perfect 4ths, 2nd, and octaves."
