Hi all! We had our meet up and I talked about trying to control my rack via my guitar. So here's my setup and how I'm trying to do things (right now) and what else I might try to implement. I've been using my Strandberg with Cycfi pickups, which are per-string pickups and allows for sending each signal independently. Additionally, each knob and the switch also sends out a 0-5v signal too. So I have 8 for each string, 1 for the neck pickup, 2 knobs, and 1 switch to work with straight from the guitar's break-out box. ![](//storage.proboards.com/6962053/thumbnailer/LXzzXfleZPOfNAtTXX0z.png) The break-out box has a 13-pin output that makes it play nice with Roland guitar processors, and I have a Roland GR-33. This does have a pitch to midi converter, which goes through a CV.OCD midi to CV converter. So ultimately I have the following signals to play with: - Per string output (x8) (only using the top 4 strings now)
- Neck pickup output (not used)
- Knobs outputting 0-5v (x2) (not used)
- 1 switch that outputs 3 separate CV values (not used)
- MIDI from the GR-33 (going to the CV.OCD)
- CV from CV.OCD (x4)
- Gates from CV.OCD (x4)
What I have been doing is having the MIDI go out to the CV.OCD to then generate a round-robin 4 voice CV/gate combo. I then take the top 4 strings and fed that into the 4x4 switch matrix that then outputs to my pair of envelope generators. This then controls the gates for sequencers and other modules. ![](//storage.proboards.com/6962053/thumbnailer/bcIvGSmDVowhebFfiYfb.png) Here's an early example. I did stereo splitting, so the left is the synth and the right is the guitar signal.

That is one sexy guitar. I have been talking myself out of buying another strandberg, currently owning a 6 string, for a while now but I’m afraid that one day I’ll give in an get an 8 string as well. Very interesting patch.
