The Mode allows you to select two bass synthesizers. Each mode will work as follows.
1–9: INTERNAL SOUND MODE
This mode detects the pitch and attack from the input bass guitar sound and creates sound using the internal sound source. Depending
on the number selected, the output sound of the internal sound source will differ as follows:
*
The SYB-5 not only works with four-string basses, it is compatible with five- and six-string basses as well (the range for detecting
pitch is A0–C5).
Mode Chart
9
SAW WAVE
1:
T
A sawtooth wave is output. This produces a sharp-edged sound.
2:
T
(-1OCT)
A sawtooth wave one octave lower than “1” is output.
3:
T
(AUTO)
This automatically shifts the filter frequency for the sound in “1.”
9
SQUARE WAVE
4:
U
A square wave is output. This creates a milder sound than that
produced with the sawtooth wave.
5:
U
(-1OCT)
This outputs a combination of the sound in “4” with a square
wave one octave below it simultaneously.
6:
U
(AUTO)
This automatically shifts the filter frequency for the sound in “4.”
9
PULSE WAVE
7:
1
A pulse wave is output. This produces a sharp-edged sound, but
one that differs from that produced with the sawtooth wave.
8:
2
This outputs a pulse wave using an all-pass filter. Creates a
sound that has a sense of depth and motion.
9:
(PWM) (Pulse Width Modulation)
This outputs a fat, spreading sound by modulating the
variations in the width of the pulse wave.
*
When using the internal sound modes (MODE 1–9), the above
function will not work properly if you play chords. So, have
all the other strings muted, and play the bass guitar using
single notes.
