It' s not perfect but it makes playing the GR55 'awkward sounds' a hell of a lot better. It' s expensive when you start adding everything up but the bottom line is that it works. (Fedex and in the UK inside four days.) Then got stung for another £44-50 by the UK customs. The Price is £210 $, plus $50 for postage. I found the OPT-1 on line and bought it, had it shipped from the USA (Sweetwater Music.thanks guys).
It is vastly improved over the old models but there are some sounds which just will not play. I' ve had a Roland Guitar synth for some years and decided to spend some money on the GR55. Very pleased, this ain' t t cheap, but where tracking is paramount.yes!! I' m surprised roland don' t mention it as a retro fit. This is not a magic bullet, but it definitely improves tracking.
