Boss SY-1000 Guitar Synthesizer

Experience the limitless potential of the SY-1000 Guitar Synthesizer, an innovative creation tool that revolutionizes your guitar or bass setup with an array of sound design possibilities. This advanced music instrument, a product of BOSS's legacy of guitar synth innovation, combines years of research and development with the latest software and hardware advancements.

The SY-1000 is powered by a state-of-the-art sound engine, high-performance DSP, and enhanced GK technology, delivering unparalleled performance and the most organic playing experience to date. It allows you to craft any sound you can envision - from intense analog-style leads and warm pads to moving synth textures, modeled electric and acoustic tones, or all simultaneously.

This versatile guitar synthesizer offers three simultaneous instruments and premium processing. With freely configurable footswitches, outputs, and external controls, you can customize the hardware to suit any workflow. The SY-1000 is a deep well of inspiration, energizing your musical vision with infinite possibilities.

The SY-1000 is the pinnacle of guitar/bass synth technology. Its custom DSP provides six times the processing power of the SY-300, and the newly developed sound engine utilizes the power of GK independent string processing for ultra-articulate performance, lightning-fast response, instantly variable tuning, sound panning/layering, and more.

A standard SY-1000 patch includes three simultaneous instruments, each with a variety of distinctive types to choose from. You can combine and layer them for an endless range of sounds. Every instrument offers an extensive set of parameters for tone shaping, mixing, and tuning. A normal 1/4-inch input is also available, allowing you to blend regular guitar/bass pickup sounds alongside the three instruments.

The SY-1000 also features the all-new Dynamic Synth, which takes guitar synthesis to new heights. GK processing and speedy DSP track your instrument's characteristics with precision detail, allowing you to craft sounds never before possible. Choose from ten oscillator waveforms and shape the sound with six different filters, amplifier control, two LFOs, and two powerful step sequencers.

The SY-1000 doesn't stop at synthesis - it also features refreshed instrument modeling derived from historic BOSS and Roland GK gear. A large selection of electric, acoustic, and bass guitar types are available, each with independent tuning, EQ, virtual amp settings, and more.

The SY-1000's signal processing and user interface are derived from BOSS's flagship GT-1000 multi-effects, lauded for its exceptional audio quality and simple operation. Shape sounds any way you like with a huge palette of effects, plus ultra-responsive guitar and bass amps.

The SY-1000's USB audio/MIDI interface opens a world of creative options with your favorite DAW. With the GK input, you're able to record each of your instrument's strings to separate audio tracks, either processed live or captured dry for later "re-synth" processing through the SY-1000. And with the Guitar-to-MIDI/Bass-to-MIDI function, you can use your axe to play soft synths, record MIDI sequences, input notation data, and more.

In summary, the SY-1000 Guitar Synthesizer is a high-quality, durable, and versatile tool that offers a new era of guitar synth innovation. It's more than just a synthesizer - it's a limitless well of inspiration for any musician.
