Only tracking issues I get are with stuck notes. They still happen sometimes even though I've tried to eliminate them.

Something has to be not set right or bad cable because I haven't gotten any of those since i first got it when it came out, but my issue was a cheap 13-pin cable that did it, but once I changed to roland 13-pin cable it fixed the issue.

Not using shared/daisy chained power supplies fixed the stuck note issue for me.
A lot of noise was being generated with chained supplies and interconnecting multiple devices.
And once you get noise into the GK ecosystem, note off detection becomes difficult.
A temporary fix was to bump up the Velocity Cut to '5'

Yes, originally I used one supply for the sy-1000 and daisy chained my old gr-55 supply to gm-800 + gkc-ad + ve-500 + o/d pedal.
Now running the gkc-ad with its own supply.
I still have noise if I plug the gkc-ad guitar out into the ve-500 for pitch tracking, but I have that unplugged and use the gm-800 guitar to midi for ve-500 vocal tracking now, seems to work better too.

I use a Trutone CS6 and get stuck notes once in a while. Maybe I'll put the dedicated supply back on my board

Everything is grounded to the same circuit in my studio with a clean industrial strength UPS on the front end.
I'm using Primova Sound 13-pin and Bestronics digital cables. I have Boss cables as well I could try.

@TJontheRoad @BROCKSTAR and anyone else. Any of you running a GK5 into the GKC-DA box into older roland guitar synths? I am thinking of leaving the GR55 at the practice spot for this purpose and wondered how well that works. Especially curious on what difference system settings make on the old boxes with this converter and the newer pickup in front of it

I'm using gk-5 and gm-800 and sy-1000 and gkc-da box.
Works great for me.

How does the DA box do with the 1000?

I edited my original posts lol. Works great for me. I don't seem to notice anything different, except I swear it tracks a little better with gk-5 then it did with gk-2a when I first tried it all together before I got gk-5.

Dumb question perhaps. Does the individual guitar's pickup settings still matter when using the conversion boxes?

Yeah I still have it set up in sy-1000 and still need to set string levels and such.
