Yes all the proper web guys), I know it's really basic but I've got a really good looking HTML5 site that works on all browsers fairly quickly. The side benefit of this is that I have started to learn simple html/css and web design without really trying. ![]() The downside is that some of the funky components - slide shows etc - won't work, but if like me you just need text and images and have a tiny bit of html knowledge you'll be fine.Īdditionally it has a css/html split view editor (a bit like dreamweaver) so it was quite easy for me to see where to insert code to create a soundcloud player and other html widgets. Then I went to ! You can design a nice looking site and create an archive of it, which you can then upload straight to your server. I know I could learn to use wordpress properly but I'm a busy composer/lecturer and don't have time/brain space for that much stuff right now. ![]() I had a look at wix.com,, wordpress and a couple of others which were fine and could produce very nice looking sites but all of them lock you into hosting deals or insists on an annoying web address. I only rated it « for advanced users » because of the MIDI feature and the additional cost it induces, but a second-hand, non-MIDI version definitely addresses just anyone.I was using iweb which was fiddly but fine for my purposes until a couple of years ago when I needed HTML5 for the increasing use of mobile/ipad devices. I have no idea of its price either new or used as I got it as part of a home-studio bundle with undetailed prices, but regarding the price new I believe the extra cost induced by the MIDI is excessive compared with the (non-)use I have for it. Looking back, I’d get the same but without the MIDI feature, which seems useless to me: a GTK-style device costs three times the price of a keyboard (not that I’m so good at keyboard playing but I can play a little), and I’m not sure a guitar player really has an interest to switch to MIDI unless their playing style translates perfectly. I haven’t tried many other models before I came across it by chance, but now I also like its look. I’ve been using it for 7 years now on my (rare) spare time. If you actually use the MIDI feature, you certainly can get everything you need but I didn’t try it this way. EDIT: the guitar finally paid the guitar tech a visit, now everything's fine. It certainly needs to get adjusted by a guitar tech. Unfortunately, the neck was the victim of a heating problems I encountered some past Winter, now the B and E strings tend to buzz a lot but the neck doesn’t appear to be warped. When engaging the speed wheel the speed fluctuates and the speed display goes through from 5 to 7 then to 4 then to 2 then to 8. Whether I use my VOX AD30VT or Toneport UX1, UX2 and Gearbox/Podfarm, I get many great sounds and find no real flaw. Possible Fault with the ProRider speed control switch I have a Pro-rider golf trolley that has developed a fault. ![]() Anyway, all that depends more on the interface used than on the guitar itself. I considered buying a MIDI interface to take advantage of all its capacities, but it’s expensive (€300 for an Axon or Roland) and I have 3 basic MIDI keyboards, so I didn’t get one and can’t judge the result and have no idea whether all notes are correctly detected, bends are taken into account or polyphony (there’s a total 6 piezo sensors) is working. It is highly versatile and delivers high-quality sounds with all sorts of settings (at least to my taste). Of course it can be useful for some kinds of uses. The neck is very easy to play, the highs can be accessed very comfortably, the weight and ergonomy are very good, no problem at all.īeware that when the MIDI switch is on “MIDI only” there is NO outgoing sound AT ALL – only MIDI signal. I read several hypothesis regarding the mic switch, either the humbuckers turning into single coils or 2-by-2 combinations of the pickups, but I haven’t opened the guitar to check this – so for all I know there are 5 possible selectable positions and this is it. There are also two Tone and one Volume knobs, and a 5-position mic selector. ![]() Floyd Rose-style bridge – at least one with a tremolo that goes in both directions, bolt-on neck with 22 frets, Godin pickups: 2 humbuckers with a single soil in the middle PLUS piezo sensors, one per string with an interface that allows MIDI connection to a Roland GK2 or equivalent with a switch to choose between MIDI only, MIDI and audio or the audio signal alone, and another switch to change MIDI settings. Made in Canada, like all Godin guitars, but the Canadian-made parts are surprisingly assembled in the USA.
