Chords at 3:30 mark


Yes, but it still looks like he's only plucking 3 notes at a time.
I've emailed Roland to get a confirmation.
Their specs in the Owner's Manual only list 3 oscillators, nothing about the number of voices.
Typically a synth's spec lists the polyphony in maximum simultaneous voices, and then lists the number of oscillators allowed per voice.
I started out hopeful, but I am becoming more convinced by everything I see and hear that there are a total of 3 oscillators that allows a maximum polyphony of 3 voices, with one oscillator per voice.
This would have been a little easier to accept if they had implemented two complete ADSR's for the filter and amplifier, but they did not.  :-(

3 oscillators per string.

I agree with what is being said here, but since we know there is no guitar modeling etc on the SY-300 and all the you tube video sounds like they are from the 80's, perhaps someone could post an example of exactly what they would hope the SY-300 can do.
There is guitar modeling!  You have to take a patch with guitar like a patch called wall of sound. Then use the editor and go in there and you will see the sounds! There is also boss pedals in There etc... I made a patch that I swear sounds almost like I sampled Van Halen1 or Satch boogie! If you like that sound!  I am thinking the whole unit is COSM. The guitar is the best Cosm to me so far it sounds realistic. I was never a big cosm fan because it always sounded harsh and I tried eq but it just was harsh. Not This unit, sounds nice and analog like.

I think you may be correct... the source for the input determines the main characteristics of the COSM  interpretations. Proprietary indeed!

There are a few remaining via the Group Buy - Ive heard when this 1st production batch sell's out, and it may be October before they get a 2nd batch.

I was just cruising through about half of the factory presets as I ran out of time. I did turn on my Fender M-80 solid state's distortion every so often just to see what it would do. I tweaked nothing on the unit at all. The tracking is insanely good. There is no way to experience any latency whatsoever. It is new technology that has bypassed that annoying limitation. I didn't play anything super fast because I was interested in actually listening to sustained notation. Mitch Gallagher at Sweetwater can play rings around me and he couldn't lose the tracking with 64th notes. Boss has done it folks and the best part is you don't need a special hexaphonic pick up or cable. Just a 1/4" jack like any guitar. .

Now, thats what Im talkin about!!!   This is only getting better and better!   Whats not to love about this synth???     Mine shipped today, I cant wait lol...

I keep hearing everyone say the sounds are to 80s...  If you think about it, the 80s were a booming time for synthesis based music...Since grunge and alternative dominated the scene , synths have gone the wayside... Products like this are going to bring it back in a big way and in a new way... Again, I cant wait till mines delivered!!

Elantric

There will be many who buy the Boss SY-300 , then after one day of playing the factory presets will dismiss it as being "too buzzy sounding" - and return it or re-sell it on Ebay at a loss.

I predict by Late 2015, a few SY-300 users will create sets of incredible SY-300 patches that sound like nothing heard so far, and much better than the factory presets.

I totally agree with your prediction... The factory presets were rushed in my opinion... Who programed them?
   A moog without good programing sounds like crap if it even makes a sound at all , but in the hands of people like Terry Watkinson , Keith Emerson, Richard Wright, or  Doug Johnson they becomes monstrously epic , timeless and magical...
 
   Not to mention, the most iconic synth leads of all time were done on equipment with no presets and weren't even polyphonic...

QuoteThe factory presets were rushed in my opinion...

Factory presets on most gear are created to show off the units capabilities, and are always rushed with limited time, to meet a production deadline ship date - its impossible to beg for one more week for programming, which impacts set in stone production schedules.   
Often during the process of programming presets, small code bugs are found, and then its a waiting game, only to have one short weekend to deliver the final production presets   - These are never the sound designers best efforts, (few will admit they were involved;)  and often never reveal all the device has to offer - (witness the VG-99 and GR-55 factory presets!)
Its a terrible job!

New generation of guitar synth that was achieved zero-tracking of dedicated pickup unnecessary and wonder
http://www.digimart.net/magazine/article/2015081301545.html

After yet guitar synth, with "zero tracking" "dedicated pickup unnecessary", and it is said to be "also corresponds to the chord input"? If a guitarist who was favorite guitar synth "What? It true?" It must be a surprised and. The reason why the SY-300 felt by trial purposes it's the fact that "the ever different dimension". Players leave the feeling that playing the guitar, he can manipulate the guitar synth sound effector sense. Although I wrote without hesitation, if this is how much it amazing thing! ......
