Yea Yea Yea. Let's trade patches. As far as net.music.guitar goes...

Well, Ok, net.music.guitar, I guess... I'm not sure if there is really
enough traffic to warrant it. Has network nerdism really progressed
to where we want to quasi-publicly discuss UNIX drivers for the hardware
interface to our Roland GR guitar controllers? Maybe it's not such a bad
idea! I own a GR but can't bring myself to purchase the GR-700 synth.
So I'm toying with the idea of a GR->68000 interface. Guitar controller
in, MIDI out. Any other GR users? The Roland GR Guitar is an electric
guitar designed with a hex pickup and front end electronics. A multiway
cable carries the preamplified signals to a device, often a GR-700
guitar syntisizer, where the analogue signals are converted to digital
signals. A MIDI out is provided. I for one dislike being locked into
the the GR-700. I just want MIDI out and I'll do with it what I please,
thank you. The GR-700 -lacks- a MIDI in, so forget recording your
MIDI out performance and then playing it back.

Would the precceding rap/abstract be suitable discussion in
net.music.guitar; or would I be quickly vectored to .synth?
Like, I don't know.. -shep.
