Blimey...I could lose days playing with that thing! Certainly makes me smile, thanks Brett.

@martinmaccauley 2 года назад

Mind blowing what they can fit on a small box! I really enjoyed listening to your explanation of the functions as well as your playing.Thank you Brett.

Just ordered this pedal this week, can't wait, you do great demos with enough clean tones, but plenty of gain which is appreciated! thanks

You're the best Brett, another great and informative video bruv.

@retromacman620 2 года назад

These sounds hit nice in-between a digital synth and analog, like a digital synth with a solid engine. I've been messing with synths for nearly 20 years now, and this will hit the spot for things.

@bassedtaz 2 года назад

Wow the tracking is impressive.

Saw your reviews on SY-1, and this one and Moore E7. Stimulate me right away go to Guitar store to try out all of them and even rent a SY-1 to play with my band. Final verdict, I bought SY-200, affordable (SY-1000 and other equivalents are too expensive) but still quite versatile and truly like keyboard synth. Especially when you play blues, man, the organ are so tasteful. Other lead and pad has very high quality and react that I can really fire the keyboardist when play other genre. More important thing, its presents (127 customize-able and re-writable present, and the digital display are important in performance) !! You can't jam without it. Realistically, it is too hard to change the setting during song (for me), and even in between songs.

@robertclarkguitar 2 года назад

I would get lost with something so capable of ambient pads etc. Hahaha. Awesome.

@michael_caz_nyc 2 года назад

Nice . . . I didn't know whether it was Rick Wakeman or Brett Kingman??? Seems like it tracks very-well, with hours-of-fun. Love the arpeggiator & freeze-function.

@Widdy5150 2 года назад

Been using the SY-1 for ages for those 80s synth solos...Nik Kershaw style & this looks like a great upgrade. Great demo 👍🏻👍🏻

@paulwolf3302 2 года назад

The old Roland guitar synths needed a special pickup and were still way behind in tracking. I listen to Pat Metheny and imagine that he has to mentally offset everything he plays because there's a half a second or so of delay. I want one of these - but it's no substitute for the ultra clean sound of a real synth. I spent a lof of $$$ on them in the past but in the last few years bought about 8 virtual synths from Korg, Roland and Arturia for about $20-$40 dollars each and run them on an iPad Air version one, that costs less than $100. Then you just need a cheap keyboard controller and you'll have all the synthesizers you'll ever need. But they trigger off of midi and can't be used with a normal guitar.

@geoffreymerrifield5666 2 года назад

Take Brett out to the ballpark... Definitely better than the previous vids I've seen. I had a high end Roland Synth in the 90's or 2000's, and while interesting, I found zero practical recording use for it... $300 and no need for the special pickup is a huge step up.

@650thunderbird5 2 года назад

👍🏻👍🏻

@isitreallyisitreally1756 2 года назад

Quick question , the midi out , does or can this control midi data to an external keyboard or synth module , so the SY can be used as a polyphonic midi controller , or is it just for changing data ? Many thanks , enjoying your content .

@drums2313 Год назад

Sounds awesome! Is there any information how the tracking works?

@jamiemorgan4146 2 года назад

I’ve had the SY300 for many years and created many patches, but the 200 seems to get you to many different patches more easily than the 300. Does anyone have a Sysex dump of the 200 patches???? Thanks...I still may buy this too..

@ptmich333 Год назад

Sounds fanBrett! Best with humbuckers or single coils, bridge or neck positions? Thanks!

@EhFookinShark 2 года назад

@jamesflack8624 2 года назад

Does this pedal do subtle? Cheers 🍻

@sfernando1 2 года назад

No wind instruments, like trumpet, clarinet etc? Is there a floor unit that can produce guitar FX and wind instruments, ALL IN ONE?

@Axeyard 2 года назад

Problem is there is little scope for expressiveness. Compare with Roli keyboard.

@rubberbandlevin Год назад

Hi, Do you know if these sounds are in the boss katana? I know it has a limited amount of boss synth type effects but I wondered if there is a basic organ sound I can get out of it like the sound you had during the intro. Thanks.

@BrettKingman Год назад

No synth algorithm in the Katana that I know of. If it's just organ-like stuff you're after, there is a Rotary effect in there that will at least give you the Leslie.

@alanredversangel 2 года назад

I think I'd still want to use a hex pickup for stuff like this, even though a lot of the tech is converging to be honest. But you can do a lot more with hex.

@LoftOfTheUniverse Год назад

What's a hex pick up?

@johanneschristopherstahle3395 Месяц назад

It's a pickup with individual coils for each string. So each string can be tracked separately. Roland GK for example.

@NanoverseProductions 10 месяцев назад

Can someone please answer this for me???!! Can this synth send MIDI notes thru Midi out?

@talaniel 9 месяцев назад

Not 100% sure, but I strongly believe this does not send out notes, just PC and CC

@dkasto7429 2 года назад

hi brett, i have a few questions. can this sy200 edit or create new arpeggio? like sy300. because for boss sy1 we can't do editing or create new ones. can you please make a short video about arpeggio editing/creating on boss sy200? thank you dkasto

@BrettKingman 2 года назад

Hey! These are fixed arpeggios, I'm afraid. No creation facility here.

@dkasto7429 2 года назад

that's too bad.. sy200 can't do editing/creating. i have no choice to not buy it. thank you for your attention to answer my question. also thank you for all of your awesome videos that can help me with guitar effects. keep creating brett thank you

@danielsheffield445 Год назад

Where would one place this in their signal chain or rather what is the optimal placement? After Dirt and before Delay/Reverb? Or at the very end right before the amp?

@johanneschristopherstahle3395 Месяц назад

Usually at the beginning of the chain. Some argue that comp or maybe a tiny bit of overdrive would improve the tracking. But you definitely don't want to drown your signal in distribution before sending it to the pedal. It has a loop built into it, so you can have distortion on your guitar sound while not affecting the synth output with it. Modulation, Delay, Reverb asf can sound really great with synth sounds, so you would usually want them to be placed after the SY. If you wanted to go really crazy you could completely split your usual guitar sound and process it differently than your synth sounds.

@Kazyman 2 года назад

Pretty cool sounds but I've always loved the Roland GR-33. More practical sounding patches for performance and even recording modes. This seems more like a Moog or Arp Synth type, but again...cool.

@alexotaola 11 месяцев назад

Same here man… Got a GR-55 and I can’t explain how or why but the 33 felt nicer to play!

@WandersonBomfim 2 года назад

How about Pat Metheny sound. Can you do it on this sy200?

Yes... There’s a patch on RU-vid .

@@jamiemorgan4146 i couldnt fins it. Do you have the link? Thanks for your help and vídeos.

@TexasGuitarist 2 года назад

The sounds seem better than the sy 300 I have and enjoy. Does it have a distortion pedal in the chain if I needed it?

@zoomosis 2 года назад

As a guitarist I love that tech like this exists but I'm torn on how useful it is musically. Compared to a real analogue synth (or an emulation) the sound coming from it just lacks any "soul". Even the sounds in Ed Lim's video just seemed cheap. Maybe I'm in the minority though. Also on guitar there are some chords and note sequences you just can't play because of physical limitations. (And vice versa, trying to authentically emulate a guitar on a keyboard will always be very difficult.)
