SYN (Guitar Synth)

This detects the pitch of an electric guitar and outputs a
synthesizer sound.

* When you use a guitar synthesizer, observe the following

points.

• It does not work properly when a chord is played. Be

sure to mute all the other strings and play in a single
note.

• When you are to play the next string while a certain

sound is still playing, perfectly mute the previous sound
then play the next one with a clear attack.

• If the unit cannot detect the attack, it may not sound

correctly.

Sens (Sensitivity)

This adjusts the input sensitivity. The response of the internal
sound source is better with a higher sensitivity value, but the
malfunctions will be increased on the other hand. So, try to
set it as high as possible without causing malfunction.
