I know now why I love this song...

[@lukebasskey2866]

I listened this song (don't remember how many times) on my Sony Walkman more than 30 years ago. Great song indeed.

Hi Luc
Just want to know if you can have the same DX7 bass sound with a classic bass equiped Roland GK3 and GR55 ? And have the same clean and accuracy sound without disturbances. I have the Sonuus bass to midi converter very cheap but not very good because a lots of disturbances . Thanks in advance

[@lukebasskey2866]

Hi Angy, for both your questions the answer unfortunately is no. More precisely, the GR55 provide an extensive internal library of sounds, some of them close to those "80s" sound, but if you are looking for typical FM synth bass sounds the DX7 is needed. About your second question, in a few words still in 2020 the bass to midi conversion is literally a "pain in the a...". To give you a better answer: to my experience the GR55 works better if you use its internal sounds library because connecting an external synth thru the MIDI-OUT a lot of "garbage" signals are sent to. That's why in this video I used a very old Roland GM70 GR-Midi converter (+ piccolo bass strings installed on the bass) that is slower than the GR55 in midi conversion, but more accurate on it. To me the best bass to midi system is the one made in Australia by Industrial Radio, but unfortunately it is very expensive -> industrialradio.com.au/products/ir-j4-midi-bass/
Same technology used back in the day on the Wal Midi bass and Peavey Cyberbass.

@@lukebasskey2866 Thanks a lot Luke , so in conclusion if I understand the G-77 connected to a Yamaha DX7 is better than classic bass + GK3+GR55 connected to a DX7 ?
and others videos with the 2 system please , I think that with your fingers and very good playing I cannot eared the difference between the 2 gears connected to the DX7 Bass sound ...

[@lukebasskey2866]

In short:
first scenario -> G77 bass + GM70 GR Midi converter connected to DX7 = high latency (that can be reduced installing piccolo bass strings on the G77) but good accuracy in bass to MIDI conversion for DX7;
second scenario -> G77 bass + bus converter 24 to 13 pin (Roland BC13) + GR55 Midi converter connected to DX7 = low latency but poor accuracy in bass to MIDI conversion for DX7.
In the second scenario the BC13 converter is needed because the G77 output is 24 pin, therefore is incompatible with the 13 pin GK input on the GR55.
You could try to look for a used Terratec Axon MKII midi converter + Terratec divided pickup: reading on the net everyone say that it is the best midi converter for bass (at the moment I never tried it).

[@stcezaire06]

aihh no very good solutions !!!

[@lukebasskey2866]

I told you before: bass to midi conversion (still) is a pain...
Buy an Industrial Radio bass or look on Ebay/Reverb for a used Peavey midi bass -> reverb.com/item/887458-peavey-midi-bass-white#full

[@ashinbristol]

Thought you were using the GR55 these days?

[@lukebasskey2866]

I did several test, and I figured that for external midi synth is better to use the GM70 rather than the GR55. The GR55 is obviously faster but sends many more errors thru midi. For this song I installed piccolo bass strings on the G77 and the tracking on the GM70 has greatly improved.

@@lukebasskey2866 that's really helpful. Thanks

[@lukebasskey2866]

You are welcome

[@reallife7235]

Oh wow, that is the best of both worlds. What a sound. Imagine this bass and Roland Galaxias - th-cam.com/video/ArN8XU5RYpo/w-d-xo.html

[@lukebasskey2866]

Yes, with Midi you have no limit: you can connect any synth.
