For sale are two Roland GI-20 GK-to-MIDI interfaces. I’m the original owner of these and have enjoyed years of use – on guitar, bass and Chapman Stick. Each GI-20 will come with a manual and power supply. If you purchase both I will throw in the 1U rack shelf. Currently the units are attached to the rack shelf using velcro. Both are in very good condition. You can still download drivers for the USB interface part though I don’t know if it will work on Windows 10 or 11. The drivers are supposed to be for windows 7. I always connected them via MIDI to my MIDI interfaces and used them that way.
Price is $225/each or both for $400. Plus if you buy both you get the 1U shelf.
From the manufacturer:
If you’re looking to enter the world of synthesis, sample-triggering or MIDI sequencing using your guitar or bass, then this is your box. The GI-20 GK-MIDI Interface detects the signal from any electric guitar or bass equipped with a GK-3, GK-3B or other 13-pin divided pickup, respectively, and lets you trigger synthesizers and samplers, or even record your playing as MIDI data. And with its built-in USB MIDI port, the GI-20 is perfect for computer-based recording setups.

Powerful Guitar/Bass-MIDI interface ideal for turning your favorite synthesizer or MIDI module into a guitar synth
