Frequently Asked Questions
PolySense attempts to analyze chords in real-time for more accurate harmony generation, though it's not foolproof and can occasionally stumble with complex voicings.
Absolutely! The TonePrint editor lets you design custom interval effects, so you're not limited to traditional harmony voicings.
While PolySense minimizes latency, some players with highly sensitive ears might perceive a slight delay, especially with very clean guitar tones and longer delay times.
