Guitar Synths ⇝ Roland ⇝ Roland GR-50

The Roland GR-50 is a 1U rackmount guitar synthesizer with a built-in synthesis engine based on Roland's Linear Arithmetic (LA) synthesis used in the D-series synthesizers such as the D-50, D-550, and the later-generation D-10, D-20, and D-110.

As part of Roland's second generation of guitar synthesizers, it uses a 13-pin cable input provided by a Roland GK-2, GK-2A, GK-3, or Yamaha G1D divided pickup. Some guitars, particularly some Godin and Brian Moore models, have built-in hexaphonic pickups that offer a 13-pin cable output.

The unit has a card slot for storing patches on an M-256D or M-256E memory card.
