Roland GI-20 Midi Converter

If you're looking to enter the world of synthesis, sample-triggering or MIDI sequencing using your guitar or bass, then the Roland GI-20 is your box.

The Roland GI-20 GK-MIDI Interface detects the signal from any electric guitar or bass equipped with a GK-2A or GK-2B pickup, respectively, and lets you trigger synthesizers and samplers, or even record your playing as MIDI data. And with its built-in USB MIDI port, the GI-20 is perfect for computer-based recording setups.

Using a guitar or bass equipped with an optional GK-2A or GK-2B Divided Pickup, the GI-20 can be used to trigger virtually any MIDI-compatible synthesizer or sampler, as well as out-putting your "natural" guitar sound for amplification.

Thanks to its convenient USB MIDI port, the GI-20 lets you quickly connect your GK-equipped guitar or bass to a variety of computer-based recording systems.

Features include:

Powerful Guitar/Bass-MIDI interface ideal for turning your favourite synthesizer or MIDI module into a guitar synth
Built-in USB MIDI port for computer connection
Easy, knob-based controls and dedicated buttons for fast, intuitive operation
Patch Memory lets you store user settings including “Play Feel,” “Transpose/Mute” settings for each string, and Bank Select/Program Change messages for live performance
Perfect size and configuration for use with Roland XV-2020 Synthesizer Module
Flexible Transpose functions + 2 / - 3 octave with optional footswitch control
