ISSP2 Per-String Pickup System for Accurate Response
The ISSP2 (Inductor Separate System Pickup) technology isolates each string individually, ensuring precise tonal balance, improved articulation, and highly reliable MIDI tracking performance. This supports expressive analog output while maintaining accurate digital conversion.
Dual Analog and MIDI Output Flexibility
The Green Sunburst model supports standard 1/4” analog output for amplification systems and a dedicated multi-pin MIDI interface for synthesizer and sound module integration. It is compatible with systems such as Roland GR-55 and similar MIDI processors for hybrid performance setups.
