复古创新
GS-500 吉他和 GR-500 合成引擎是世界上第一款真正的吉他合成器。比其 1977 年的最初发布日期更令人惊讶的是,这款早期的吉他合成器早于 MIDI,而是使用模块化合成中常见的 CV 和 GATE 信号实现来工作。另一个令人难以置信的功能是内置的无限延音系统,利用接地的琴格和定制的双线圈拾音器在所有 6 根琴弦上产生令人难以置信的持续音符和和弦。
一种新型混合
GS 和 GR-500 代表了一种全新的混合乐器,融合了吉他和合成器的声音,并允许同时控制它们。当时价格昂贵且有些新颖,我们对这种组合的感觉非常偏爱。创新的功能、令人难以置信的可玩性和自然的响应性已经转变为一个强大、灵活且有趣的库,能够实现从大模糊吉他音色到甜美的合成器音垫等一切。
Vintage Innovation
The GS-500 guitar and GR-500 synth engine were designed as the world's first true guitar synthesizer. More astonishing than its original release date of 1977 is the fact that this early guitar synth predates MIDI, functioning instead using an implementation of the CV and GATE signals common to modular synthesis. Another incredible feature was the built-in infinite sustainer system, utilizing grounded frets and a customized humbucker for incredible sustained notes and chords across all 6 strings.
A New Kind of Hybrid
The GS and GR-500 represented a completely new kind of hybrid instrument, fusing the sounds of guitar and synthesizer and allowing them to be controlled at the same time. Expensive and somewhat of a novelty at the time, we've grown quite partial to the feel of this combo. The innovative features, incredible playability, and natural responsiveness have transformed into a powerful, flexible, and fun library capable of everything from big fuzz guitar tones to sweet synth pads, and more. |
