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.

set it as high as possible without causing malfunction.
