What's the synth block?

Just something we made up...

Just kidding!

An effects block made to approximate the sound of a synthesizer. From the Wiki:

Cliff: "The Synth block is a very simple monophonic synth. It doesn't compare to the polyphonic capabilities of something like the FTP and it can't control outboard MIDI synths."

It lets you play monophonic synth lines. For example:

 

[feliperigby]

You're using a keyboard or this is on the guitar?

It's what you do.

That was @fremen playing and it was 100% guitar. The main lead line was guitar in to the synth block. The pads were synth block controlled by IA switches.

So this will be an fx8 update feature?

We live in hope.

There's some amazing examples of it on these forums if you poke around a bit.

I would so love this. There are a number of covers we play where being able to recreate little synth lines would really be the icing on the cake.

Fingers crossed

A nice example floated to the top a few days ago... you'll know it when the synth block is enabled.

Superb

Thanks for sharing.

All of a sudden an Axe FX II is looking tempting!
