Explanation
GR-300
This models the Roland GR-300, the famed analog polyphonic guitar synthesizer of yesteryear.
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.
FILTER BASS
This Instrument is like a bass whose sound is passed through a filter.
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.
