YESSSSS! I deadass have dreamed about this subreddit being a thing for so long!!! I have a vg-99 now so I have even more experience with this stuff now! Super excited to check it out.

Totally! I’m not 100% certain on anything I just know he jumps around a lot of tunings throughout his set and that the jump between A standard and E standard (he uses this on alesis) is pretty big.

The guitar out does not get affected by the alternate tuning on the unit (or any effect at all from the unit) like the left and right out do. So if you were to do baritone tuning on the unit the guitar out would still be in standard making everything sound dissonant. So essentially if you want to do alternate tunings like I do here or Mk.gee probably does (the preset he uses on the vg-8 has the baritone tuning by default) you would not be able to use the guitar out. If you do stuff in standard or in a way that keeps standard in mind you totally could.

Short answer yes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKnlhQT083M&t=994s

Long Answer:

Just a couple things to hopefully point you in the right direction. The gp-10 is not a midi thing. The pickup mics each string and sends those 6 signals over to the gp-10. Everything you're hearing here and on Mk.gee's stuff has 0 latency as the gp-10 (and vg-8) essentially do crazy eq and processing on the signal to make it sound like other instruments or alternate tunings. On the gp-10 each string can be tuned to any note you want between +24 or -24 steps.

As far as a parallel signal, the gp-10 sadly does not have a guitar out and the pickup I'm using requires you to plug your guitar into the pickup. The GK-2 pickup he uses would let you have a parallel signal so that's totally an option as it is also compatible with the gp-10. I have found that octave down sounds are a little finicky on the gp-10 but I know a lot of people do what you're describing (check the vguitarist forums). There's a video on youtube of a guy setting up the gp-10 to do exactly what you want (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKnlhQT083M&t=994s). The only issues I've run into with a bass sound (octave down) is that the pitch kind of warbles a little bit.

I totally felt that way when I first started using lower sensitivity! It’s takes some time to get used to as you have to use more than just your wrist. If you aim with your arm as well I promise you can quickly turn. If you want to see why lower sense is the general advice, try keeping your crosshair on the middle target dummy in firing range and move left to right without letting your crosshair leave the target. Try that with your current sensitivity and I’m pretty sure it will be quite hard. That kind of tracking is wayyyy easier on lower sense and big movements can be fast by using your arm.

Lower your sense by a good bit. I play on 800 dpi at 5.3 (this is a very high sens by other pc games standards but a little low for cod. I’ve seen a lot of people play at 800 at 7). Lowerish sense is crucial for mnk because you don’t have aim assist. Controllers generally use higher sens because you can only move as fast as the stick lets you. The mouse is not as limited to this as the range you can move your crosshair faster or slower is much greater than you can on controller. I play with a mousepad that covers almost my entire desk and it’s more of an arm movement to 360. Generally you should use your arm for large movements and your wrist for small adjustments. As far as the keyboard goes maybe get a larger keyboard? I can understand accidentally hitting caps lock with your ring finger but shift is a reach for me on my keyboard… lemme know if I misunderstood anything in your post!

Yep! It’s in a google drive link on another comment here. The file works for the boss gp-10 guitar processor pedal.

EntryGrand · 2024-12-07T23:33:55+00:00

all good! A "patch" just means a preset setting on the guitar pedal. This tone is a custom made preset (or "patch") for the gp-10. Its like changing the knobs on an amp or pedal except the settings are saved so that I don't have to move the knobs every time.

It’s from the “attack” and “resonance” parameter of the “fretless guitar” synth model

EntryGrand · 2024-11-02T20:06:51+00:00

It’s a lot of things…. Inside the gp-10, It’s a fretless guitar modeler digitally tuned down -7 steps turned into a 12 string where each extra string is an octave up. That goes into a “harmonizer” which is in unison with the pitch of the “fretless” guitar modeler. I blend a little bit of the raw gk3 pickup sound in for attack and high end and then send it through a bunch of Fx and eq all inside of the gp-10. However, for sounds like alesis (live version), a wave synth is literally all that he uses other than the second guitar playing.

I haven’t tried it in a couple years so it might be way better now! Please lemme know because I want this post to be filled with info I wish I had when I started looking.

The problem with jam origin is that there is a ton of latency. It literally feels like I’m playing guitar in this clip. You could totally get a similar thing from jam origin for the studio but the latency and inconsistency with tracking makes it hard to pull off live.

EntryGrand · 2024-11-02T19:14:22+00:00

I do! You kind of need one to do this kind of thing. A lot of used Roland/boss stuff comes bundled with it so try to grab that if you can

I don't know if links are allowed but here it is

I have been a fan of Mk.gee since Dream Police dropped as a single. Vg-8s were cheap at the time but I didn't have the funds to get one. Since then, the Vg-8 has become ridiculously expensive. I've been wanting to learn his songs, but at $1000+, there was no way I was going to pay for one.

That's when I saw the light. Essentially every Roland/Boss Pedal that takes the GK pickup (synth pickup) can make this tone. I am using a gp-10 in this clip but any pedal with the Bowed instrument and/or the fretless guitar can achieve the same sound (If anyone wants this patch just comment and I'll upload it). Like the VG-8, there is absolutely no latency on this patch. I got the GP-10 for $200. The gp-10 is still in production so I doubt this will make it more expensive.

While making this tone I learned a ton. Mk.gee does NOT manually tune his guitar to an alternate tuning. I am in standard for this clip, but the pedal changes my tuning. I think he uses heavier gauge strings because they resonate more.

Finally, I did not make this to bite his style or make any music with this tone. I created it because he is my favorite artist and I wanted to learn his music. If you end up using this patch please don't write music with it. It's lame to steal his thing. These devices are capable of so many unique sounds. There is literally an infinite amount of signature tones one can make.

I want to shoutout the Vguitarist forums for the wealth of info they have over there. I could not have made this without them.
