A de facto standard devised by Roland for connecting guitars and basses equipped with a hex pickup to a guitar synthesizer. The cable carries the audio signal from each of the 6 individual coils of the hex pickup to the synth for processing and analysis. The interface also provides +/- 7V DC power to the guitar's electronics. Additionally, it can carry a few control signals from controls on the guitar, and a mono signal from the guitar's conventional pickups. A number of guitar companies manufacture guitar models that come equipped from the factory with the 13-pin interface and the necessary onboard electronics. As for synth manufacturers, the main one supporting the interface besides Roland itself is Axon.
