Scott Fraser Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Does that have a piezo bridge pickup? I see the controls on the upper bout, which means an acoustic pickup in the Godin Acousticaster model. Scott Fraser Scott Fraser

caprae Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Originally posted by Big Red 67: Owww, Synth. What's da nut on that? From Godin: The first Multiac Nylon prototypes were already nearing completion when we became intrigued by the possibilities presented by Roland's GR-1 guitar synth system. Guitars had already been triggering synths for many years but they were either very expensive and not really guitars but guitar-like triggering devices or they just didn't work very well. The GR-1 made the guitar/synth connection available to guitar players of all budgets and abilities. However, using the GR still involved attaching a significant amount of hardware to your existing guitar. So we began experimenting with the idea of a guitar built from the ground up with synth tracking in mind. Our old friend Richard McLish of the RMC pickup company already had developed a hexaphonic pickup and preamp system called the RMC Polydrive and we asked him to work on a version of his system customized for our new guitar, which we called the Multiac. Richard's system worked beautifully, however, we discovered that we could impact the tracking of the system with fundamental changes to the guitar itself. Bracing, scale length, string tension and wood selection all had some effect on the response time (tracking) of the synth. After about twelve prototypes we not only had achieved superb guitar synth tracking but we'd done it in a nylon string guitar. Several years have passed since the first Multiac made its debut and we continue to refine our designs and explore new possibilities such as the new Multiac Fretless. There are now nine Godin models that include synth access. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Using Godin Synth Access Guitars by David Mash Vice President for Information Technology Berklee College of Music Many of Godin's guitars feature Synth Access, which allows us to use these fine instruments to control synthesized sounds and to connect to computers so that we may use powerful music production tools such as sequencers, multi-track audio recorders, and music notation software to realize our music. These guitars use the GK-standard 13-pin connectror to pass audio from the hexaphonic pickup to a device that can convert the audio into control signals, usually in the form of MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) commands. You can find links to these instruments under the "Synth Access" heading. These instruments have been designed from the ground up with synth access in mind and are, simply put, the best guitar controllers available today! This short lesson will show you a simple way to connect and configure your Godin guitar to access the power of electronic synthesizers, either in live performance or in the personal studio. For this lesson we'll use Roland's GI-20 guitar-to-MIDI converter and USB interface, and an Apple Powerbook laptop computer with Logic Pro software. The steps listed here are fairly generic, and may be used with other devices, computers, and software as well. In this lesson we'll cover the following topics: Making the connections: How to hook up all the gear to make it work most effectively Setting up the guitar: A few key things to maximize the effective control of synthesizers Setting up the interface: Matching the interface to the guitar Using software instruments: Playing software (or virtual) synthesizers Recording and processing the guitar audio: The complete digital guitar studio.

Millo So far the trem arm has been fine, its not too light and havent found it running the guitar out of tune yet, cant say I have really stood on it a lot yet. I have seen reports that the trem isnt best but seems good so far.
