specify the user phrase number.
IN:
Sets the note name of the input sound. You can also play
individual notes on the guitar and let the GT-8 judge the
note name.
STEP:
Sets the step of the phrase. You can also play on the
guitar and put the step forward.
OUT:
Specify the note name of the output sound.
The triangle next to the note name indicates the octave.
One downward-pointing triangle indicates a note one
octave below the note displayed; two triangles indicates
a two-octave drop.

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
0–100
Adjusts the input sensitivity.
The response of the internal sound source is better with a higher sen-
sitivity value, but the malfunctions will be increased on the other
hand. So, try to set it as high as possible without causing malfunc-
tion.
Wave
Square, Saw, Brass,
This selects a wave type that is the source of
Bow
the guitar synthesizer.
Square
The unit detects the pitch and attack information from the input gui-
tar sound, then send the square waveform (
nal sound generator.
Saw
The unit detects the pitch and attack information from the input gui-
tar sound, then send the saw waveform (
sound generator.
Brass
The unit directly processes the input guitar sound and creates a gui-
tar synthesizer sound. It gives a quick sound rise and send the sound
with a sharp edge.
Bow
The unit directly processes the input guitar sound and creates a gui-
tar synthesizer sound. It outputs a soft sound without attack.
Chromatic *1
This switches on or off the chromatic func-

tion.
When it is on, the pitch change of the synthesizer sound is in semi-
tone steps. This does not respond to pitch changes less than a semi-
tone, such as what might be obtained with bending or vibrato. Thus,
this is effectively used for realistically playing musical instruments
whose pitch will change in steps greater than a semitone, such as a
keyboard.
Octave Shift *1
This allows you to shift the pitch of the inter-
0, -1, -2
nal sound module in an octave step from the
guitar sound.
PWM Rate (Pulse Wise Modulation Rate) *2
This gives breadth or fatness to the sound by
0–100
applying modulation to the waveform (only
to Square) in the internal sound module.
A higher value will quicken the rate of the modulation.
