Gear 4 Music Product Information
In the history of guitar modeling no manufacturer has devoted more time resources and passion into this market segment than Roland - from the worlds first guitar modelling processor the legendary VG-8 to its popular V-Guitar predecessors.Multi Modeling The VG-99 contains an incredible range of COSM-modeled guitars and amplifiers including new electric acoustic and bass guitar models a new GR-300 synth wave and much more. It even models two signal paths at once. Complete dual processing of guitar modeling on the VG-99 allows you to play two different guitar sounds simultaneously. For example one virtual guitar could be a Telecaster in a vintage Tweed amp with full effects and the other a nylon-string guitar with just a hint of reverb.Dynamic Control Both modeled guitar and amp paths can be active at the same time or they can be dynamically switched or blended. You can control the switching behavior between virtual guitars and/or amps by foot controllers buttons/knobs on the unit or according to your picking dynamics. Imagine playing softly for an acoustic-guitar sound then transitioning to a full metal blast simply by picking more aggressively. Furthermore each modeled guitar can be separately assigned to individual guitar strings. For example you could have a 12-string guitar on 1st to 4th string and Synth-bass for 5th and 6th.Alternate Tunings The VG-99 can produce custom tunings - anything the player desires on any virtual guitar. A virtual Les Paul for example could be tuned down four or five steps for a heavy sound while a nylon string could be tuned as a 12-string and also tuned down four or five steps at the same time. Open and drop tunings are also supported as well as user-defined custom tunings and can be applied to any COSM guitar so the player can switch instantly between tuning setups without physically switching guitars or having to manually retune.Guitar Performance in Higher Dimension With its new performance-based design the VG-99 can be placed within a players easy reach on stage by using an optional PDS-10 stand. This new style setup allows various new performance possibilities such as D BEAM Ribbon Controller and more. In combination with the versatile new foot controller FC-300 the VG-99 takes your guitar performance on stage to a whole new dimension.Most Wanted You asked for it now Roland delivers the most-requested new features in the VG-99 including an onboard guitar-to-MIDI converter for direct connection to keyboards sound modules soft synths etc. Audio output via USB or S/PDIF digital out and optional RAD-99 rack mount adaptor further enhance your music production environment.
