YOUTUBE MK7 DEMO

 

Welcome to Recording Separate Strings (RSS) - a V-Guitar resource page for anyone wishing to explore the wonders in recording separate strings. The subject or technique has been around for a while, but the technology and methods involved are not clear. At this resource page you will find an in-depth investigation into RSS, with a:

 

1. Ready-made hi-end BREAKOUT BOX.  Available as a Active or Passive unit.  

 

2. GK Extreme. A hi-end redesigned Roland GK pickup pre-amp. GK Extreme pre-amp takes the original GK design to a new sonic level of performance, and shows there are several ways to ‘breakout’ of a Hex pickup.

 

3. A home constructors kit (a project just about anyone can build).

 

With additional hardware and software, we’ll get to explore some of the extreme possibilities with RSS, such as re-amping, software processing individual strings and editing string performances, with cut, paste, copy, move, delete etc. Finally, you’ll get to view a wealth of multi-media and tutorials on RSS. I say it now...Once you’ve experienced RSS, you probably won’t want to record a guitar in mono or stereo again!

* Guitar notes and chords are

 perfectly in key. Individual note

quantizing is precise and

 velocities are optimised.

 performance ‘feel’ is kept in  

 tact and greatly enhanced.

 

* 3D software plugin. With a binaural sound stage you have width, depth and height, so mixes sound more immersive than just simple Left - Right panning.
