LGK_Dude Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I'm looking to control synth sounds while playing bass. Does anyone make a MIDI bass pickup anymore? The closest thing I've found is the Roland V-Bass System and GK-2B Pickup, though it DOES NOT control other MIDI devices. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGK_Dude Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Looks like you can use the GI-20 MIDI converter in conjunction with the GK-2B Pickup. I'm just an idiot and missed it somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Force Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Look for a used Peavey MIDIBase. I can vouch for them--have owned one for 10 years now. Steve Force, Durham, North Carolina -------- My Professional Websites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebassman Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 If I could get my hands on a Peavey. .. but they're as rare as hen's teeth down here. An Aussie by the name of Steve Chick is the genius behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarkus Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I think Brian Moore offers Midi Bass (iBass). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassaddik Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Steve Chick pioneered the wired -fret approach that Peavey and some Wal basses featured. That is the fastest triggering i have seen yet. There's a Axxon system that some people swear by but i could not get the settings right to control it the way i wanted to. From what I have read, a graph-tech or RMC system which uses sensors in the bridge saddle works best for tracking. Not sure how the Roland pickup would track MIDI - though it tracks the V bass with no delay, but again, it's not converting to midi... I have been waititng many years for someone to perfect this science for bassists. Praise ye the LORD. ....praise him with stringed instruments and organs...
