Gm-800 is doing the pitch to MIDI. All the GK-5 is sending is 6 tracks of digital audio.Hmmm....On the GK-5 page, Boss says this.....
I've bolded the interesting part; at the risk of reading too much into it, it sure sounds like the raw audio for each string might also be present in the data coming off the GK-5.... Now I'm wondering just where the guitar-to-midi is happening; is it in the GK-5, or the GM-800?
A guitar modeling box is totally doable with the gk5. The very first thing all of the existing GK modeling devices do is convert the analog audio to digital.The difference, at least to me, when we say "guitar modeling" is that after all the electronic magic, the signal coming off your regular guitar 1/4" cable is transposed and transmogrified into whatever guitar you're pretending to play. I.e., Variax. So you'd have something like GK to this guitar modeling box, with a line out into your favorite Fractal Axe-Fx device.
Now that I think about it, I'm guessing that sort of box might require a new GK pickup, because maybe the GK-5 is ?only guitar-to-midi. Unless it's also carrying the raw analog signals the way the 13-pin stuff seems to have worked.... That sounds like an awesome thing for someone to delve into; just how many of those 32 channels is the GK-5 using?!
Kraft music off Reverb from Wisconsin. We'll see how the week progresses? We are gone all weekend gigging so it is on a time crunch
Nope. "In stock order now"Did yours ship?
SW still on preorder status.
Strange. according to Kraft Music’s website it still shows as “Preorder” I’m hearing some places in the US should receive by the middle of August. Oddly, some are getting the GM-800 in before the GK-5 pickup or adapter boxes. It will be useless without it.Kraft music off Reverb from Wisconsin. We'll see how the week progresses?

Eh man I buy all sorts of stuff. If I return it; I return it. But the GR33 that's been sitting here since 2014(?) and the GR55 I've been using (and bitching about the size on) since, oh 2015-2016(?) (as well as the SY1000 from pre COVID) would be some indicator of it's longevity? Who knows. The VII is the one that gets the most back and forth of will I or won't I atm

So like using FTP into GM800 via USB to Midi Out from MacBook and I’m wireless! LolNot totally useless. If they have a midi controller or keyboard, they can control the gm-800 with it until pickup and stuff comes
Nothing for me yet either, was hoping to be playing it by now.
I’m really hearing for the US, many stores won’t ship out customers until mid September. I believe this is the case for GC, I’m not sure about SW.
Well Mother !&!! I’m jealous! LOL!Some people in the U.S already got it and many stores in the U.S. like perfect circuit, CME got them in etc..
My local shop got tracking last week and should be here any moment.
The lost 8th mode - that's big.
