Synth like the Boss SY-300

Adding some Stomp Oscillators would be fine with me

You can currently use extreme settings of Shapers/Fuzz to make pseudo oscillators.

Try these (on the Rig Exchange):
Fuzz Horn Lead pault
Ensemble Synth pault
BassMoogTouch paults
TouchLayerSyn 1 paul
Muff Moog 2+ paults
VowelCelloDooSynth
Vowelotron2

Here are examples of the last two sounds:

+1

+1 That Boss SY-300 looks very interesting. I scoffed over the teaser thinking I wasn't going to add something else this year...then I saw what it was and immediately asked, "When's it out!"
I'd love to see some more creative effects like these added.

+1 Wouldn't mind some tasteful synth tones in there.

+1 and I haven't even quite ordered my kemper yet. Really intrigued by the SY-300. I am investigating the best way to run my GR-55 with the kemper to alleviate all known noise issues. I think Christoph and team could really blow us away with a synth feature.

I don't expect the Profiler to have a synth feature like the SY-300 and, frankly speaking, I don't care.

I'm just back from the Musikmesse where the SY-300 was demoed by Gundy Keller and I had the chance to try it in person.

This thing was the ONLY TRUE INNOVATION I saw this year. Freaking awesome and I'll buy one as soon as it'ts out (hopefully in a few weeks).

OTOH if it gives CK some inspiration was not?

Ingolf - my contacts tell me the SY-300 will be available in June.

Thank you, Mats. Gundy indicated 'a few weeks' which may end up June.

Anyway: I predict this will have at least as much impact as the Whammy 1.
In a few years many many guitarists will possess one.

And, now it is time for a bigger pedalboard

Yes, or a small satellite board.

The specs say it's polyphonic - did you find it reacted well to chords?
It does look like it would have a myriad of creative possibilities. I picked up an EHX 8 step program the other day - this is another fun little device and I can see this working nicely with the SY-300. We have lots of noises at our disposal these days!

I wouldn't expect to see this sort of thing added to the Kemper - but then again I didn't think the pitch shifter would be as good as it is. Perhaps one day Kemper will produce a dedicated effects box - that would be worth hearing!

Polyphonic reaction was great! No wrong notes, no glitches, no latency.

Thanks Ingolf! - looks like I'll be adding my name to the waiting list for this one as well...

Right now, I am very glad I didn't order the Remote, cause that expenditure is reserved for a SY-300, and my stock FCB1010 will operate both quite well. Thanks very much for reporting on your experience with it, Ingolf! Over at Vguitarforums, it was a welcome report, as you can imagine, we, 13 pin folks, are getting pretty jacked up about the possibilities too. Sounds like a revolutionary tool. My goal is to use a headset mic plugged into it, and give the voice to synth a real workout, for solos especially. Vernon Reid told us he will get to spend some time with it soon, and will let us know what he thinks.

Hey, it's Boss. This usually means quality and quantity at the same time, and no waiting list.

And you're welcome @thebrushwithin.

Too shame it doesen't do pitch-to-MIDI conversion...

I'm curious about using it with a 12-string guitar...

Looks like the SY-300 will be available before the Remote+KPA firmware are updated to the extent that they'd meet my needs (namely CC output based on Expression pedal position.) As of this weekend I'm limping along with an old Digitech Control 8 and Event Processor again - flexible combination, but pretty cheesy mechanicals. I'd love it if I could set up something clever where the switches/exp. inputs on the SY-300 control the KPA by default, and toggle to control the SY itself when a synth is engaged. SY-300+KPA would be a really fun, streamlined setup. But the devil's in the details, and I won't know the details until I've had an SY in my hands for a couple of days.
