Parameter/
Range
Explanation
ANALOG GR This is the sound of a vintage analog polyphonic bass guitar synthesizer.
Equipped with Hexa VCO and VCF (variable cutoff-frequency filter) that generates sawtooth waves independently for
each of the six strings, this sound accommodates hexa-distortion and pitch shifting, and enables you to enjoy analog-
synthesizer tones while producing all the nuances of live bass guitar play.
WAVE SYNTH This algorithm creates synth sounds by directly processing the string signal from the divided pickup. It allows a natural
feeling of playability.
OSC SYNTH This detects the pitch and attack information in the input bass sound and outputs signals produced by the built-in os-
cillator.
FILTER This instrument is like a bass whose sound is passed through a filter.
BOWED This represents stringed musical instruments played with a bow.
PIPE This produces sounds like a soft woodwind lead instrument.
CRYSTL (Crystal) This is an instrument sound with 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 bass guitar and creates a synthesizer sound.
