wave with some dissonant undertones.
For this next track, I had to get a little
creative. I routed up a compressor
and some effects on the SY-300, then I
played some air traffic control chatter
over the speaker on my phone. I held
the speaker up to my guitar’s pickup,
and recorded the results.

For the final track, to add some
rhythmic movement, I set the oscillator
on the SY-300 to generate noise every
time I strum, and to slightly open the
filter every time I strummed. I muted
the strings and strummed a varying
pattern to create a sort of industrial
vibe.
I hope you enjoyed our little excursion
into synth land, courtesy of the good
folks over at Boss. As you can see,
synthesizers can send you beyond what
you think is capable with an instrument.
With a little bit of patience and some
inspiration, you will go incredibly far.
Until next time!
