Here is an introductory video showing a Solo Guitarist's best friend:- https://youtu.be/DsLXOM4fxkI

More to follow.

Thanks,

Now this is the sort of tutorial I can understand. Even though I have the SD40, the Midijay Pro is no slouch, sounds great. I don't play guitar, but I sure can play a harmonica. I bought a midi breath controller configured as a midi harmonica, using an AJAMsonic module as the sound source. More to come.

Accoustic & Electric Guitar Solo Musician's best Friend Video #2:-


Thanks,

Could you also do this with the Audya 5?

Yes. Including X4, SD3, XD3, Audya 4, SD40 and SD90.

Are there any instructions on how to setup the Ketron (midi settings) and GR-55 for this?

I used a GR-55 to control an Audya 4. You just have to make sure that the two instruments are set to communicate on the same MIDI channels.

I plugged the GR-55 into Midi In (KBD) on the Audya.
On the Audya I went to Midi and set the Global channel to 1 and all the others to --

On the GR-55 I have it set to send Midi on Channel 1.

I can hear the notes played from the guitar on the Audya, but it doesn't recognize chords I play on the guitar to switch the arranger chords.

What settings do you use for the Audya Midi ?

It depends what you are trying to do, how do you want to use the Audya?

If you just want to use the Audya to follow the guitar chords then you should be playing the left-hand part, which is by default set to MIDI channel 2 in the Audya, so you set the GR-55 to transmit on MIDI channel 2.

The way I was using the Audya was that I was playing the chords, so that the style was following me, and a friend was playing a second MIDI guitar to play the melody on the right-hand on MIDI channel 1. We used a MIDI merge box so that we could both plug into the Audya's MIDI in.

Was hoping to play both chords and notes like in the video.
You need the settings just right on the Audya and GR-55 to do this and I don’t have it quite figured out yet.
