With the HEXA-DISTORTION effect and pitch-shifting six-string sawtooth wave generation from the instrument’s
HEXA VCO and VCF (variable frequency filter) brings out all the nuance from guitar performance, yet with the tone
of an analog synthesizer.
BOWED This Instrument represents stringed musical instruments played with a bow.
DUAL This Instrument takes the string vibration that is input and adds both distortion and portions which have the pitch glid-
ed.

PIPE This Instrument produces sounds like a soft woodwind lead instrument.
SOLO This is a soft lead Instrument.
PWM (Pulse-width Mod-
ulation) This Instrument represents the pulse-width modulation (PWM) of an analog synthesizer. The pulse width of the wave-
form produced by the vibrating string is varied cyclically to create a characteristic sound.
CRYSTL This is an Instrument providing a metallic luster.
ORGAN This is a Long Tone Instrument suitable for playing solo parts or slow songs. Like an organ, you should balance out the
volume levels for the three parameters (FEET 16, 8, 4) to create just the sound you’re after.
BRASS This instrument detects the pitch of the electric guitar and creates a synthesizer sound.
WAVE (Wave Synth) This algorithm creates synth sounds by directly processing the string signal from the Divided pickup. It allows a nat-
ural feeling of playability.
