Description
GUITAR BASS
18: ANALOG GR 10: ANALOG GR
This is the sound of a classic analog polyphonic guitar (bass) synthesizer.
It provides hexa-distortion, with a hexa-VCO and VCF (variable frequency lter) that generates independent
pitch-shiftable sawtooth waves for the six strings, letting you enjoy analog synthesizer sounds that reect the nuances
of your guitar or bass performance.
To change the pitch, use “PITCH A/B” (p.36).
19: WAVE SYNTH 11: WAVE SYNTH
This algorithm directly processes the string signal from the GK pickup to produce the synthesizer sound. It allows a
natural performing feel.
20: FILTER BASS 12: FILTER BASS This instrument is similar to a bass synth with a lter applied.
21: CRYSTAL 13: CRYSTAL This is an instrument with a metallic resonance.
22: ORGAN 14: ORGAN
This is a sustained-tone instrument suitable for solo parts or slow songs. As on an organ, you can adjust the volume
level balance of three parameters (FEET 16, 8, 4) to create the desired tone.
23: BRASS 15: BRASS This instrument produces a clear brass type sound good for leads.
