ROLAND GR-20 UPGRADED FOR BASS

Version 2 Software Update

Los Angeles, CA, July 23, 2004—Bass players can tap fully into Roland’s popular GR-20 guitar synthesizer with the new Version 2 software. The same popular patches and instant access to edit parameters are carried over from Version 1, but with a divided pickup installed on your bass (such as Roland’s New GK-3B) and Version 2 loaded into the GR-20, bassists can enjoy a custom-tailored synth-bass playing experience.

Version 1 GR-20s can be upgraded to Version 2 via free download.
