Boss SY-1000 Next Generation Gk Synthesizer Processor, Blue

Soar Into the Infinite The SY-1000 is a breakthrough creation machine that transforms your guitar or bass rig with limitless sound design options. This powerhouse music tool opens a bold new chapter in the legacy of BOSS guitar synth innovation, fusing decades of R&D with our latest software and hardware advancements. Backed by a cutting-edge sound engine, high-octane DSP, and evolved GK technology, the SY-1000 delivers the finest performance and most organic playing experience to date. Three simultaneous instruments and premium processing let you craft any sound you can imagine-intense Analog-style leads, warm pads, moving synth textures, modelled electric and acoustic tones, or all at once. And with freely configurable footswitches, outputs, and external controls, you can maximize the hardware for any workflow. Sonically vast and deeply expressive, the SY-1000 is an infinite well of inspiration, energizing your musical vision with endless possibilities. Features BOSS's most powerful guitar/bass synth and modelling processor ever Next-generation synth engine with custom DSP and 48 kHz/32-bit processing throughout Unprecedented sound and expression with three simultaneous instrument types and advanced real-time signal processing Each instrument provides pitch, level, and panning of each string for instant alternate tunings and wide, layered voicings New Dynamic Synth perfectly follows the guitar's natural envelope for uncompromised tone shaping New sound engine and GK 13-pin interface deliver clear, dynamic sound and precision tracking with zero latency Dynamic Synth includes two 16-part step sequencers for evolving control of pitch, filter, and amplitude Newly refreshed versions of historic BOSS/Roland guitar synth and modelling technologies: OSC Synth, GR-300, Guitar, Bass, Acoustic, VIO Guitar, and Poly FX Normal ¼-inch guitar/bass input for blending and Dynamic Synth processing Premium effects and amps derived from the flagship GT-1000 Large LCD and intuitive editing interface for free-flowing sound creation Eight freely assignable footswitches, external control support, effects loop, and configurable Main/Sub outputs USB Audio/MIDI and MIDI I/O, plus Guitar-to-MIDI/Bass-to-MIDI function Dedicated Guitar and Bass modes Customize sounds with the BOSS Tone Studio editor and download pro patches at BOSS Tone Central Download and share Live sets at BOSS Tone Exchange Roland GK-compatible pickup and 13-pin cable required for full access to all synth and modelling features A New Era of Guitar Synth Innovation The SY-1000 is the most advanced guitar/bass synth we've ever made, hands down. Custom DSP delivers six times the processing muscle of the SY-300, and the newly developed sound engine leverages the power of GK independent string processing for ultra-articulate performance, lightning-fast response, instantly variable tuning, sound panning/layering, and much more. Deep Sound Design Tools A standard SY-1000 patch includes three simultaneous instruments-each with a number of distinctive types to choose from-and you can combine and layer them for an endless range of sounds. Fed by the 13-pin GK input, every instrument offers an extensive set of parameters for tone shaping, mixing, and tuning. A normal ¼-inch input is available as well, letting you blend regular guitar/bass pickup sounds alongside the three instruments. Ultra-Expressive Dynamic Synth The all-new Dynamic Synth takes guitar synthesis further than it's ever gone. 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-sine, triangle, PWM, three saw types (including Roland's famous super saw), and more. Then shape the sound with six different filters, amplifier control, two LFOs, and two powerful step sequencers. Optimum performance is realized with the GK input, but it's also possible to play the Dynamic Synth via the normal guitar/bass input. Two Step Sequencers Bring Sounds to Life After shaping a basic sound with the Dynamic Synth, the fun's just starting-with two step sequencers, you can infuse it with movement to create complex textures that pulse, breathe, and groove. Each sequencer features 16 customizable steps that control pitch, filter, and amplitude independently. Better still, every step includes 13 different envelope curves for unprecedented sonic control. And by stacking three Dynamic Synths together, you can build massive moving sounds with three oscillators and six separate step sequencers! OSC Synth and GR-300 Complementing the powerful Dynamic Synth are two additional synth instruments. OSC
