ObviouslyCool Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I've got a Roland VG-8 with all the cards. They since came out with an 88. Is anyone using these great little things? Any suggestions for programs. I play Eric, Stevie Ray, Albert King, Fogherty, old stuff from Rock&Roll and Blues. Having trouble making the Roland sound good unless I play it out of a PA. The presets are awesome but would like to make some of my own programs. Got any? I used to know everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel E. Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 From what I've heard, the 88 is a stripped down version and the VG-8 is superior. You said that it doesn't sound good unless you play it through a PA. What else are you trying to run it through?

DC Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Go to www.vg-8.com and check the patch section. There are some great ones. I really dig the two Beatles banks. -David http://www.garageband.com/artist/MichaelangelosMuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObviouslyCool Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 DC, I went to the web site. Can you tell me in plain talk how to get the VG-8Ex patches out of this site and into my Roland? I know some about computers but not as much as most of you guys. (My favorite guitar effect used to be a coil cord) 'Cool I used to know everything.

You've gotta hook up the comp midi out to VG-8 midi in, and VG-8 midi out to computer midi in. Now you should be able to 'send' banks to your VG-8 and store banks from your VG-8 on computer. You can also write down your fav patches and drag and drop them into custom banks in the computer. Shame the VG doesn't have more user patch storage, but this somewhat solves that problem. -David http://www.garageband.com/artist/MichaelangelosMuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
