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.
