At my age..(62).. not so sure I want to attempt learning this unit without an extremely detailed and efficient owners manual! We'll see. Thanks for all the work you've put into this series and all your reviews! They never go unappreciated.🙏🙏🙏
I never comment enough about the intro tracks. They are always unreal amazing songs! The production is incredible on this channel as well as the reviews. This product is very interesting to me and can’t wait for another look. Thanks for added the tips when purchasing.
I have an SY-300 and the SY-1000 the 300 still holds it’s own but the 1000 sounds even better! The amp sims and effects really surprised me I love the deluxe combo it sounds very natural IMO. Totally worth it even if you don’t have a midi guitar. 👍
I've been dreaming of this pedal for awhile, just discovered this 5 part series, rescheduling my day to watch. Pedal seems like a fun universe to explore during quarantine!
I totally agree and love your Videos. Call it like it is. I own a Axon Ax 100 which was one of the original midi synth . And I own a Fender stratocaster with the roland midi pickup built in. They pretty much collete dust now. This new device gets the synth guitar guy inside a wake up call. Pretty cool. Keep up the awesome shows.
I think it also is a great idea for people with space limitations. Not everyone has the room for 20 awesome amp heads much less cabinets. Great video overview and a five part series is just what is needed. "Henning: the other manual for the unit!"
Originally a keyboardist and piano player... I'm always interested in these guitar synth devices! One day I'll get one, still haven't pulled the trigger yet! Thanks for this...was waiting for it! 😎🎸🐦🤘
Omg that song was unbelieveably!!!!! Omg is this sounding freakin amazing!!!? This song was one of the most awesome songs i have heard in my life!! Also love the riverside demo!!!
Danke, Henning. I've wanted something along these lines for a while. All I need to do now is find a buyer for one of my kidneys. Apart from that, you, like I, are an animal/doggo enthusiast, so I have some advice for others like us. If, when you're out exercising your woofers, you see other dogs with their pet humans, don't let them interact with your four-legged family members, and don't stroke them either. It's impossible to know if their two-legged friends are contagious or have been stroking their dogs, potentially leaving a layer of C19 on the fur! The doggo could be an unsuspecting carrier, going from human to human via a wooftastic friend. It's little things like this which can help curb the rate of transmission. I hope you're safe and well. Much love, keep up the great work!
I forgot to mention I also recently purchased the Boss 200 EQ pedal. This is a home run! 2x 10 band EQ's I run one before pre amp and one before power amp, my option "studio quality sound" for any rig!
@ 29:20 Even better than online reference manual for all the parameter details, just download and install the Tone Studio on your Mac or Pc. You can use it without the SY 1000 connected in offline mode.. It's a lot more open looking than their earlier editors, like for the SY-300, DD 500, etc. to explore all the synth engine, Poly Effect, Control, Midi, everything parameters
Can.i ask, have you run a bass through it? I play both guitar & bass... I already have a Godin nylon slim with the pickup but I’d have to modify my bass as I’m more likely to use it as a bass synth... but would I need too if bass sounds could be achieved on my a Godin? So many questions!! Great video
I got one ! I have wanted a guitar synth for well - 40 years !!!! And this one for about 10 years !!! Can't wait to spend HOURS and HOURS exploring - but my problem is I get soooo impatient and restless - - - cabin fevered in Alaska !
'Or play around with some fun stuff' - that's me. I have it on a JPX right now, but really wanted it on a Majesty I have. It fits on the JPX, but I prefer the feel of the Majesty. A lot. It fits on several other guitars as well but I want to use the piezo blended with the magnetics and THEN into the GK-3. I don't like the large-ish gap between the strings and the GK-3 pickup on the JPX (1.6mm) but the GK-3 is too tall for the Majesty (it becomes a new bridge, which won't fly). I am faced with milling a shallow pocket into the face of the inlay, and I hesitate. For now. Too short, too tall, looking for just right. Love the SY-1000 sounds.
I've had various of these over last 20 years and as much as I have gravitated towards them, I've also gravitated more and more away from them. More than anything it is the large form factor combined with extra cabling. My favorite version was when I was using soft synths like absynth and massive on my PC. The stock synth sounds on all the ones I have owned seemed stale, generic, and at times downright corny. I will never go back to a large sized device like this. My PRS was modified with the Roland synth input and piezo. If I were to use go back to it, I'd like to see a small pedal that allows you to load some soft synths with various presets and most controlling is via Bluetooth. If u get tired of those sounds, load a different one. This is such a niche thing and you have to give how's credit for sticking with it though
It's very compact: 34.5cm x 24.5cm. The synth engines such as the "Dynamic Synth", are not MIDI triggered (they operate in the audio domain) and respond like playing regular guitar, palm muting, harmonics etc. are all represented in the audible output of the device. The guitar to MIDI disconnect that people encounter is not present. It's more like playing a virtual analog synth, there are no triggered internal PCM sounds like on the GR-55. Plus you get guitar modelling, all the amp modelling and most of the effects from the GT-1000.
@@tedrogersisback5729 it's not compact when you compare it to a standard sized boss pedal. Too big for my taste. I'd prefer half the size and they can keep all their sounds....would like to play soft synths...sounds that are professionally used
@@understoneClearly, it's fatuous to compare it to a Boss pedal, apart from anything else it would be unusable in such a small form factor. The Kemper, Helix, GT-1000 etc are all larger than it. Define professionally used; it has 3 processing engines that can model any guitar or subtractive synth sound from the last 50 years. If you want sampled piano, strings, trumpets then yeah I take your point, it's not really intended to do those things. But this thing will do pretty much anything else in terms of synthesis and guitar sounds and is clearly marketed with the vintage/retro synth revival market in mind (at least on the synthesis side). Although it will cover EDM, drum and bass dubstep, techno etc. Masses of potential.
Quick question Henning...what are your thoughts on the small pedal version...SY-1... clearly less options and power... though for some cool synth sounds... plug and play small pedal format...worth the $200...or go all the way? And which system...the SY-300... without the pickup install...or better with the pickup? Would be awesome to see a comparison of various systems. Thanks HP...you ROCK!
Awesome video, Henning. Obviously. You are the best. But Roland. Come on. If you're gonna have Boss release an amazing product like the SY-1000, just freaking make a bundle that includes the pickup and a cable, yeah? That's common sense.
I have a Godin xtSA Guitar that comes with a 13 pin plug. Will the SY-1000 work well with this guitar? I see references to using the GK3 pickup, but will everything work the same or maybe even better with my Godin pickup and 13 pin plug? I also have quite a few different hardware and software synths that I would like to access via MIDI. Will I have an easy time doing that? Any latency problems? Thanks.
That first HB guitar oddly reminds me of a really really old guitar made by a company called SAMICK that one of my guitar tutors used to own - though the headstock might of been a little more ibanez'y. I cant seem to find the guitar anywhere. Not even in the old archives. but i know it exists because I was taught how to play on it.
Weird that having taken the same monochrome screen from the GT-1000 (Great in direct sunlight by the way) and that the underlying OS is clearly similar that Boss chose not to implement the Bluetooth editor that makes gigs and rehearsals so much easier on the GT-1000. Without it you may as well accept that you're going to have to put a laptop in the same bag as your SY-1000 whenever you leave home with it.
Very cool equipment but your really complaining because it's not a HELIX !!! I've got a Helix and it dose " have so much more". I've integrated a synth into one of the effects loops of my Helix, my Arturia which costs about $200 with all its software. In total for $1500 Ive got this and much more, if I integrated this unit I'd be over $2500. I'll keep watching the rest because it's your channel and your always very honest and tuned in for years!
Hey... can both analogue and GK inputs be used at the same time? I am trying to use the GK3 input... then send the clean signal to the Kemper stage... and use the SY-1000 on the FX loop of the Kemper... What is not clear to me is what does the Kemper FX send connect to on the SY-1000 Thanks in advance
I think they should do a video of the SY-1000 at a pajama party, like were in the sixties but with someone who could play like the dude with those crazy glasses
No, this SY-1000 is way to high tech for teenager stuff. I'm going to check around to see if some university offers a Masters or PhD program in the SY-1000.

Hi, I play a SY-300 and how I understand it, basically the SY-1000 has the same possibilities and lookwise same UI, just bigger, plus MIDI and, here's the first question, with some additional features from the GT-1000? And if so, is this a GT-1000 with a built-in SY-300 and MIDI and if not, what is missing? My second question concerns the things you said about realistic sounds like piano, cello, flute and so on. I couldn't find the part again, but didn't you specifically mention, that it doesn't have a real piano sound on board? Does that mean, it doesn't have these sounds on board or does it mean, that you cannot even load these sound files into the SY-1000? I'm sure, you know what I mean, like the fishman tripleplay with the additional foot controller, that can have these sound files on board, so you don't have to use a laptop. I also mentioned it on the extra music video - that song at the start from your band...it's soooo beautiful, I'd kill to write a hookline like that (you know the part I mean for sure...). Best wishes
Well, I quite like the fact that BOSS hasn't sold out yet to the dumbed down color touchscreen interface. Roland unfortunately did with their latest Fantom series of synthesizers. This makes both the GT-1000 and SY-1000 highly desirable products to me personally, as these products don't project the patronizing attitude of other competing products from other companies. The only problem is the user's manual. 200-300 page manual would be much more appropriate for this kind of product. But once again, I am not in the majority here, nor tat that would like anything to do with the majority.
A supplemental manual that could be accessed online and printed out would be good for teaching us how to shape sounds and would solve the various languages issue.
And for all the gals and guys, who want something more realistic: That thing got midi out! So you could chain it to any sampler or e-piano of your liking.
Yes the original sneak peak was of a color screen, I keep wanting to pull the trigger on this product but I have watched so many demos and I'm struggling with justifying the purchase. I really want to buy it but dam I feel like they fell short here.
How's the loop capacity of that machine? Touchscreen is actually not necessarily practical with that unit when you have to adjust every value of every engine part inside a very narrow window!
Hello there ! Thanks for explaining how to use GK3 , cable and SY 1000 !!! My problem is the normal sound of guitar ( I use a small jack -jack to go from the guitar output to the GK3 jack input the GK3 cable is connected and goes to the SY 1000. But... even if I select "Guitar" on the GK3 there is no guitar sound and no sound at all. With "mix" I've got only the synthesizer sound ( no guitar sound ) and naturally only synthesizer on "GK" select. What I can do on the synthesizer to enable my guitar sound where I have to go and what I must change? the short jack-jack all ready furnished ont the GK3 packaging function well with another pedal so everything seems to be ok but...No direct guitar sound Thanks in advance to help me retrieve my guitar sound...
It's not really aimed at the same market, this is more of a programmers synth/modeller, rather than device created to mimic pianos etc. The synth engines such as the "Dynamic Synth", are not MIDI triggered (they operate in the audio domain) and respond like playing regular guitar, palm muting, harmonics etc. are all represented in the audible output of the device. The guitar to MIDI disconnect that people encounter is not present. It's more like playing a virtual analog synth, there are no triggered internal PCM sounds like on the GR-55. Plus you get guitar modelling, all the amp modelling and most of the effects from the GT-1000.
I have a GR55. This looks like it tracks better and has a better interface. The GR55 can be hard to adjust. I find the percussion instruments are prone to accidental triggering. Xylophone for example. The guitar simulation always sound great. Have you used a GR55.
I've used both and own an SY-1000. The SY-1000 doesn't have any triggered PCM sounds, so if you still want that look elsewhere, or trigger them via USB/5 pin MIDI externally. Other than that the SY-1000 has newer, better guitar and amp modelling and effects. It's more like an updated VG-99 and GP-10 mixed with a hexaphonic SY-300.
Hello EytschPi42, Have you ever reviewed the Roland GR-55? If not, it might be good to show the advantages and disadvantages between the GR-55 sample based and SY-1000 oscillator based synths. Looks as if Roland Corp. is abandoning the sampler user guitarists who are seeking traditional instrument sounds. An upgraded new model to replace the GR-55 would be awesome. Keep up the awesome work.
Just wanna be as informed as possible due to a likely future purchase. I mean, who doesn't want to be as informed as possible when it comes such a "stellar purchase" such as something of THIS MAGNATUDE? Especially when you LOVE getting "THESE TYPES OF SOUNDS?" RIGHT?!
I'm one of those essential workers, headed to the water plant. Where we do not have internet access. Wish I could have downloaded this video to take with me. But my TH-cam downloader would not download this video "for various reasons".
No touch please!!! My fingers don’t work well with touch 😬 dunno why but they don’t therefore anything that’s touch (even phone txt) is a nightmare for me... I can’t be alone right?
Yea or there should also be a pc software for PC/Mac for easier navigation and control, just like the Hotone Ampero so that they don't need to touch the hardware if they don't want to.
Starting at 30:45, I couldn't agree more on using 1980's and 1990's alarm clock level displays on these expensive processors in the year 2020. Talking to you also Fractal Audio and Kemper (among many others I'm sure). Absolutely ridiculous at this level.
GK 3 pickup ? Again!!??))))) In 21 century WTF people?))) I sell my VB99 only because of this pain in ass - GK 3. And many mo people also... Roland-Boss - please stop torture the musicians )))) SY-300 have a polyphonic input converter and it's cool - finally.
The pickup should come with the dang cable... why must they nickel and dime everyone to death. Ridiculous. I really do like how powerful the options are in this unit, but Boss has gotten me before and you know what they say: fool me once shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Not too keen on giving them my hard-earned cash again. If I were to do that I'd probably get a Katana II head. More my speed, but I do love me a nice lush synth to play off of.
No it isn't. The SY-1000 doesn't have any triggered PCM sounds, so if you still want that look elsewhere, or trigger them via USB/5 pin MIDI externally.

@@michaelseale3672 Yes, it will. There are dedicated input modes for various types of piezo hex pickups. Check out the reference manual and download the tone studio software, which you can use without the SY-1000 connected.
Amazing Sounds In the demo song 😎👍🏻 but overall it’s not my cup of tea. I find it way to complicated with this UI and too expensive for not including all you need to run it. Thanks for your work Henning anyway 😊

I've wanted something along these lines for a while.
All I need to do now is find a buyer for one of my kidneys.
Apart from that, you, like I, are an animal/doggo enthusiast, so I have some advice for others like us.
If, when you're out exercising your woofers, you see other dogs with their pet humans, don't let them interact with your four-legged family members, and don't stroke them either.
It's impossible to know if their two-legged friends are contagious or have been stroking their dogs, potentially leaving a layer of C19 on the fur!
The doggo could be an unsuspecting carrier, going from human to human via a wooftastic friend.
It's little things like this which can help curb the rate of transmission.

But once again, I am not in the majority here, nor tat that would like anything to do with the majority.
Any tracking or latency issues ??
very little
Part 1 of 5, 40 mins. That's what I like to hear.
Hi Henning! You got to do the Boss GM-800! 🙂
A supplemental manual that could be accessed online and printed out would be good for teaching us how to shape sounds and would solve the various languages issue.
And for all the gals and guys, who want something more realistic: That thing got midi out! So you could chain it to any sampler or e-piano of your liking.
It sends MIDI note messages via USB and 5 pin MIDI.
It can be used with any soft synth/virtual instrument.
Yes the original sneak peak was of a color screen, I keep wanting to pull the trigger on this product but I have watched so many demos and I'm struggling with justifying the purchase. I really want to buy it but dam I feel like they fell short here.
How's the loop capacity of that machine? Touchscreen is actually not necessarily practical with that unit when you have to adjust every value of every engine part inside a very narrow window!
Hello there ! Thanks for explaining how to use GK3 , cable and SY 1000 !!! My problem is the normal sound of guitar ( I use a small jack -jack to go from the guitar output to the GK3 jack input
the GK3 cable is connected and goes to the SY 1000. But... even if I select "Guitar" on the GK3 there is no guitar sound and no sound at all. With "mix" I've got only the synthesizer sound ( no guitar sound ) and naturally only synthesizer on "GK" select.
What I can do on the synthesizer to enable my guitar sound where I have to go and what I must change?
the short jack-jack all ready furnished ont the GK3 packaging function well with another pedal so everything seems to be ok but...No direct guitar sound
Thanks in advance to help me retrieve my guitar sound...
did you ever get this problem sorted, I didn't even know the gk3 pickup had a jack input, I thought it was just a 13 pin input.
Good opening song dude.
I gigged in a covers band 4 years first with a gr-20 then the gr-55. The gr 55 seems to be better than this and cheaper. How is this better?
It's not really aimed at the same market, this is more of a programmers synth/modeller, rather than device created to mimic pianos etc.
The synth engines such as the "Dynamic Synth", are not MIDI triggered (they operate in the audio domain) and respond like playing regular guitar, palm muting, harmonics etc. are all represented in the audible output of the device.
The guitar to MIDI disconnect that people encounter is not present.
It's more like playing a virtual analog synth, there are no triggered internal PCM sounds like on the GR-55.
Plus you get guitar modelling, all the amp modelling and most of the effects from the GT-1000.
I have a GR55. This looks like it tracks better and has a better interface. The GR55 can be hard to adjust. I find the percussion instruments are prone to accidental triggering. Xylophone for example. The guitar simulation always sound great. Have you used a GR55.
I've used both and own an SY-1000.
The SY-1000 doesn't have any triggered PCM sounds, so if you still want that look elsewhere, or trigger them via USB/5 pin MIDI externally.
Other than that the SY-1000 has newer, better guitar and amp modelling and effects.
It's more like an updated VG-99 and GP-10 mixed with a hexaphonic SY-300.
Why, when I have a GK3 pickup connected, does not work normal imput?
Hello EytschPi42, Have you ever reviewed the Roland GR-55? If not, it might be good to show the advantages and disadvantages between the GR-55 sample based and SY-1000 oscillator based synths. Looks as if Roland Corp. is abandoning the sampler user guitarists who are seeking traditional instrument sounds. An upgraded new model to replace the GR-55 would be awesome. Keep up the awesome work.
How does the Boss SY-1000 compare to the Roland VG-99? I own the Roland VG-99.
Totally agree about the primitive display and UI. I can barely see it.
Just wanna be as informed as possible due to a likely future purchase. I mean, who doesn't want to be as informed as possible when it comes such a "stellar purchase" such as something of THIS MAGNATUDE? Especially when you LOVE getting "THESE TYPES OF SOUNDS?" RIGHT?!
Can you allocate just a single string to trigger an effect?
Wann kommt eigentlich das campaign like clockwork Album raus?
I'm one of those essential workers, headed to the water plant. Where we do not have internet access. Wish I could have downloaded this video to take with me. But my TH-cam downloader would not download this video "for various reasons".
Is the sound quality any better than the Roland GR55?
Way better
@@AVguitarchannel That's good to know, I returned my GR55, It was okay but not great.
Is it worth buying if I will use it only without GK pickups?
No touch please!!! My fingers don’t work well with touch 😬 dunno why but they don’t therefore anything that’s touch (even phone txt) is a nightmare for me... I can’t be alone right?
Btw the gk3 also have a kit if you fancy a permanent clean setup
Please make a video with the Roland vg99 using a Gibson guitar gk3 show me how clean sound and classic nylon guitar sound
Cool.
Ok-ok-ok...It"s reincarnation of VG - 88.. direct from museum ))))
Reincarnation of VG-99 actually but I still use mine so it's all good!
Gotta love the wife interactions
Hi , to start to make recordings seems to be amazing
Amazing. What's the song name?
Yea or there should also be a pc software for PC/Mac for easier navigation and control, just like the Hotone Ampero so that they don't need to touch the hardware if they don't want to.
Hi! Writing from two years in the future here. It still sucks (slightly different) balls.
But, thanks for the fab vidéos!
歌不错，80年代风味
"Great song, 80's flavor"
Pretty neat, saw the thumbnail at thought oh lord another multieffects pedal... not a huge fan of proprietary cables...
Would be nice if you could mate this with a Line6 Variax !? 🎶🎸
You don't need a Variax, it has guitar modelling onboard too.
What guitar is that??
Harley Benton Fusion
Huh huh huh " I'm switching myself"
Wait for the app.
Starting at 30:45, I couldn't agree more on using 1980's and 1990's alarm clock level displays on these expensive processors in the year 2020. Talking to you also Fractal Audio and Kemper (among many others I'm sure). Absolutely ridiculous at this level.
You are wrong. You can use this as a normal effect the input biside the 13 pin!! try this
th-cam.com/video/4TwyIuZ_6Io/w-d-xo.html
Yeah only for bank 48-50 or customize your patches and send on User bank
GK 3 pickup ? Again!!??))))) In 21 century WTF people?))) I sell my VB99 only because of this pain in ass - GK 3. And many mo people also... Roland-Boss - please stop torture the musicians ))))
SY-300 have a polyphonic input converter and it's cool - finally.
The pickup should come with the dang cable... why must they nickel and dime everyone to death. Ridiculous. I really do like how powerful the options are in this unit, but Boss has gotten me before and you know what they say: fool me once shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Not too keen on giving them my hard-earned cash again. If I were to do that I'd probably get a Katana II head. More my speed, but I do love me a nice lush synth to play off of.
are you related to col. klink?
Correct. It's freaking 2020, make it a touch screen and colored.
l tryed to apply a de-esser on your videos...the result was pure silence.
Its the same screen as the gt1000.
Darkness...Silence....Nothing Can Tire Us...Except Corona Virus..............
13-pin mini din cable
yeah... but what do YOU know? Not a lot.... NOT A LOT my friend!
Well.... in this case more than I do!
@@EytschPi42 always look forward to your videos.
Keep up the great work.
It's a gr-55 folks...move along ..
No it isn't.

Do you know if the SY-1000 would integrate with Godin XTSA?
@@michaelseale3672 Yes, it will. There are dedicated input modes for various types of piezo hex pickups. Check out the reference manual and download the tone studio software, which you can use without the SY-1000 connected.
Amazing Sounds In the demo song 😎👍🏻 but overall it’s not my cup of tea. I find it way to complicated with this UI and too expensive for not including all you need to run it.
Thanks for your work Henning anyway 😊
Animals in the middle as well as at the end...
you cool man...not the gears
you play with a Harley Benton guitar for a 1000 euros unit ok :) good idea lol
Not an amazing manual, but gives one the opportunity to become confused in many languages. :)
