MOTM

First off, appologies to Paul S. for my last e-mail-- I sent it before
reading your request to stay on topic.  My mistake.

And now, drum roll please, some MOTM content!  :)  Last night I plonked down
in my studio with the lofty goal of creating some kind of lead sound akin to
a heavily processed electric guitar, at least in terms of the level of
distortion, tone, sustain-character, etc.  I ended up with a noisey bass
patch that sounded really bad at higher pitches.  Go figure.

Does anyone have any ideas / hints on how to go about this?  Part of the
problem might be in the controller... a keyboard limited to velocity I
suppose doesn't lend itself well.  But at the same time, there isn't much
controller interaction when you simply pluck an open guitar string-- it's in
the strings refractions and the electronics / signal path.  So, back to the
question... any hints on the basic sound?  How do I patch up a MOTM system
to this effect?  Thanks!!
