I wonder what it’s like going through life as a walking, talking dildo? Maybe I’ll ask this guy.
Have we heard if a halfway decent 15’ TRS cable will work with the GM-800? I’m waiting for the BOSS cable ordered from B&H, but i may receive the unit before the cable. Well assuming the GK5 comes with my GM-800 order.So while my SW order is shipping, they don't have the digital cable until next week. The custom short cable I ordered from BTPA also isn't shipping till next week. I guess I can plug in my keys until then. Oh the irony.
There are MAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNY dumb fucking things I yell at Boss for. This situation, despite irritating me; is not one of them.
The whole pitch to midi thing is such a non-thing for me. If you are working in the DAW; just use the fucking piano roll and draw in the notes. The whole "NO ONE WANTS THEIR GUITAR TO SOUND LIKE A BANANA HERE'S MY 97 MINUT SOLO ALBUM OF A GTR PRETEDNING TO BE THERMIN DON'T YOU LIKE IT?" is fucking stupid as fuck as well.
It's been a long Monday
Oh that’s the point of contention? Strictly pitch to MIDI? It’s got sounds built in. Just use that. Or track both at the same time, clean up the MIDI later. It’s not like the FTP wasn’t a brutal lesson in frustration, and unlike the GR series, had no “in the box” fallback.There are MAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNY dumb fucking things I yell at Boss for.

Translation: Where's the wireless gk pickup that you need to recharge every other hour of use if it even works at all. Where's the touch screen that make the GM-800 3x as large and won't fit on a pedalboard.I wonder what it’s like going through life as a walking, talking dildo? Maybe I’ll ask this guy.

A short TRS cable should work as long as there isn't other radio interference nearby. I wouldn't trust it at gig full on nearby cellphones. The longer the cable, the more likely of problems.Have we heard if a halfway decent 15’ TRS cable will work with the GM-800?

I mean, if your sole goal is walking around the house in your underwear, playing sax on your guitar, I can see his point. But for anything else, gimme a cable.Translation: Where's the wireless gk pickup that you need to recharge every other hour of use if it even works at all.

It's not. Really? I am salty as fuck today and glad the profanity filter is turned off The FTP is a complete turd. This gear, though; is all about what works for you. Whether it's Roland/Boss 13 pin or FTP or Jam Origin. For me it's also in the dumpster faster than you can say a really short thing because I have zero time to get annoyed turning my guitar into a trumpetOh that’s the point of contention?

WHAT OTHER GOALS WOULD YOU HAVE BRO?!?!?!?!?I mean, if your sole goal is walking around the house in your underwear, playing sax on your guitar, I can see his point. But for anything else, gimme a cable.
I am being snarky. I think there are all sorts of cool off the wall things you can do with a guitar synth that don't involve covering LaVidaLoca I just read something on some GK FB group on someone making fun of us cover band guys who want to have a bunch of corny instrument sounds at our disposal and decided to be a dick about it just for some light hearted funHIRE A TRUMPETIST

I am looking forward to digging in \m/The power of the GM-800 is just amazing. Look at all this that you'll get to use in the gm-800 and hopefully more in the future.

Cable, yes, usually. Two cables, or a chunky 13 pin cable, or an overpriced cable to 3.5 adaptor boxes… Getting colder, Roland.I mean, if your sole goal is walking around the house in your underwear, playing sax on your guitar, I can see his point. But for anything else, gimme a cable.

I’ve been using software MIDI conversion on and off for almost 20 years (anyone remember the pre-Jam Origin WIDISoft?) and one of the greatest perks has always been getting everything from guitar to board with nothing but one cable or one wireless transmitter.
Clearly they're wrong, because some putz at TGP, who's never played the GM-800, said that's not possible to be faster than the FTP.Someone over on facebook group said this about the gm-800 they just got "Tweaked the settings for my axe, and first impression is it's tracking better than my Gr-55, my Axon 100, and my FTP rigs ever did" and "oh and using a standard Monoprice 1/4-Inch TRS 1.5ft cable to go from GKC box to GM-800"
