"The knobs [caps] are starting to deteriorate and break, some are missing and all should be replaced. otherwise this Q is super clean and the yellow isnt smudged or dirty as is common with this surface. Comes in a soft case with the cord."
"This joint venture instrument between Roland and Ibanez is paired with the Roland GR-500 module. It was used by a multitude of artists, ranging from Neal Schon of Journey to Jeff Baxter of the Doobie Brothers and was responsible for creating some of the wildest synth guitar sounds of the late 70s and 80s.
The guitar features a hexaphonic pickup that tracks the pitch of each individual string with high accuracy, as well as a traditional humbucker pickup for producing standard guitar tones. The signal is sent through the guitar’s 24 pin output to the synth module where it can be manipulated using a multitude of VCOs VCAs filters, and effects. One of the most unique elements of the guitar is the infinite sustainer system built into the guitar. Similar to how E-bow’s work, this instrument can keep the strings vibrating as long as the player wishes.
This guitar is in excellent condition. It has only a handful of small chips/dents on the top (pictured) and the fretwear is nonexistent. Its electronics have been cleaned, the fretboard conditioned, and setup to play well at low action. The GR-500 Module has been well cared for, and is in excellent shape. Bring your guitar music to the next level with the GS and GR 500s today!

"Played around with the Loop feature on the #ep133. Supported by drums coming from the #PO32Tonic. While it‘s pretty cool to get interesting loops and textures with the Loop function, it’s not very easy to perform live with it as the controls are pretty vague. Also it’s a bit annoying that you get kicked out of loop mode when pressing fx or when adding punch-in fx, it would be way cooler if these could be combined (and maybe even resampled). Hoping for updates that would make this feature even better."
GEOSynths is back with another Soundset for the fantastic Arturia Polybrute. Vol 3 explores Tone and Texture in more detail with Emotive Pads, Textured Strings, Cutting Bass & Leads, Arp's, Poly's and so much more.
There are 96 Patches in the Bank with 1 to 24 being demonstrated in this Video (1 of 4) All Patches have an A+B State, some of which are slight variations, while others are very different. Controllers are assigned where appropriate.
"Recording realtime gives you complete freedom of playing - but sometimes a quantize grid can help you out, also production- wise.The quantize grid in the RK008 is capable of separately altering note on, note length or note off.
A note-off is part of the groove and you can use the grid options to tighten up sounds but also make the most of a synth with limited polyphony, timing note-offs perfectly before starting a new one.
PS: I'm focusing on the quantize grid here, you can also adapt the length of a note in a percentage of the original which is not shown in this movie. You can check the complete RK008 Quantize menu here:"
"RK008 Menu 6 houses real-time Quantize transformations. The first part (ALT+6) is for note-on quantize, straightening out played notes on a user-selectable grid:
Digit 1 to 6 select a timebase; Digit 1 - 2 - 3: 1/64 - 1/32 - 1/16 Digit 4 - 5 - 6: 1/8 - 1/4 - 1/2 Digit 7 - 8 - 9: decrease - 1/16 center - increase (inc/dec is also accessible via ALT+DEC and ALT+INC)
Tapping a digit multiple times will also allow you do select a dotted or triplet grid For example in case of a 16/th note-on Quantize(3): 1x tap: 1/16 2x tap: 1/16D (dotted, notes are 1.5 times a 16th note) 3x tap: 1/16T (Triplets, notes are 1/3rd length of a 16th note)
Pressing INC will slide to the Swing settings which have the same type of interface, selecting timebases with 1-6 and making adjustments with 7-9.
Pressing INC again will slide to the Note Length Quantize part. In this menu you will be able to quantize the note length to fixed length - or- only quantize note off fixed to a grid.
For example - on the 16th Note Length Quantize (3) 1x tap: 16th length fixed 2x tap: 16th- length staccato (length is cut just before the next 16th note) 3x tap: 16th+ length legato (length will just overlap the next 16th note) 4x tap: Q_16 note off length is snapped to a 16th note grid 5x tap: Q_16- note off length is snapped to a 16th note grid staccato style 6x tap: Q_16+ note off length is snapped to a 16th note grid legato style
