Frequently Asked Questions About Guitar/Bass Synthesizers
Most guitar synthesizers utilize a magnetic pickup or a specialized contact microphone to detect the pitch and duration of the strings, which is then translated into MIDI data for sound generation.
Polyphony refers to the number of notes the synthesizer can play simultaneously. Higher polyphony allows for richer, layered sounds and complex chord progressions.
Latency is the delay between playing a note and hearing the synthesized sound. Excessive latency can make playing feel unresponsive and hinder expressive performance.
