- BOSS SY-300 trying to emulate a TB-303
This is not a song, just a quickie, semi-prepared demo of how a SY-300 could resemble a TB-303.
Rough sound, watch that volume knob for spikes.
bass into SY-300, setup with CTL1 as OSC1/2/3-hold and lots of knob twiddling.

Thank you so much for producing the FIRST and ONLY SY-300 demo that doesn't just consist of mindlessly scrolling through the presents. FINALLY someone (certainly not anyone from Boss) shows us what this thing can do! I don't understand you programmed the sequencer sequence into OSC1. Could you explain where the melody in there came from? It seems like the tempo of the sequence was controlled by the LFO, but where did the sequence itself come from? At the start it seemed like you were recording a note sequence but that doesn't seem to be the sequence that OSC1 was playing later. Thanks!
Looks like the Slicer was used to cut steps out of the pattern. You can see it being used (labeled SL) throughout the video. Every time that SL block is turned on off the pattern changes. At 6:35 a second Slicer block is added in and then he scrolls through different patterns to alter the sequence even more noticeably
the SY-300 has per Oscillator a 16-step sequencer built-in. I preprogrammed 2 simple sequences in OSC1 and OSC2 which I turn on at 0:51 and 2:49 respectively. Since the SY-300 has no "note-off" info the release of the sounds is not 'hard' enough and that's why I added the slicer to that first sequence - makes it sound a little more like a TB-303. Hope this helps!
A tip : watch series on KaldroStream. Been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Alijah Franklin yup, I've been using kaldroStream for months myself :)
Most, if not all of the videos/demos I've seen of this unit made it sound like a video game. This is the first demo that actually made it sound like a synth and showed how to edit on the fly. What a great demo. Thats. I was considering this but watching the other vids I thought it would be a waste but after watching you I have to reconsider this unit. Thanks very much.
perfect way to support new user without experiences in the synth-world. Bought one of these, second hand, for new sounds with guitar and found only hundreds of videos, showing the (terrible) presets. Even if it's quite late after six years: Thank you very much!
FINALLY a demo actually showing what this can do properly honestly thank you so much
Nice reflection in the knobs ;-)
This is the first demo of this thing I have heard that doesn't sounds like lift music or fusion self indulgence. Really interesting!
The tittle alone deserves a like
This is a great demo of what this thing can do..thanks for taking the time to be creative and not just mindlessly running thru the presets...I get mine today..:-)
This is one of the best vids about the SY-300 out there! The first I see that shows how to tweak parameters to get some classic synth sounds! Which is one of the main reasons I bought it in the first place. THANKS!
Thanks, great video mate!
You're a genius...
Amazing demo of an amazing underrated product!
Thats exactly what I wanted to see... Thanks so much for this video, great work :-)
So this little gizmo will practically play like a good old Moog synth, even without a guitar controlling it, except for providing a single initial tone for it. Impressive.
Great video! Thank you!!
Bravo!!!
This is fantastic
awesome demo, thanks!
Wow! Cool! Mine is on the way. I'm trying to figure out where to put this in my chain. Or, if I should put it in the effects loop, with the other time based effects.
Oh yeah! This is what I was wanting to se about this baby.
So, if you freeze a voice, can you still play the rest of the voices? Will they freeze as well as soon as you play?
1 sequencer per Osc is a synth's wet dream. They got a lot of things more than right with this one.
yes, if you freeze one OSC you can still play the rest - and if you have the WET/DRY set to anything other than 100% wet you could freeze all 3 OSC's and play on top of that ;-)
Herwig Scheck Great thanks!
Very very cool! but , Id love to have heard the guitar played through it afterwards, instead of the arpeggiator...
Sir you just showed me I don't need to buy a Korg or Roland Synth to achieve these sounds. I think I will just go back to guitar and buy this pedal.
How did you go?
This is Kraftwerk sound.
Amaging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers, you are showing off its ability to edit synth tones far better than those official video demos, aimed at convincing guitarists it can track, which is important, but most of the sounds that guy, you know the one, uses or edits sound terrible from a synthesis perspective.
Excellent demo ... wanna experiment wide range of jazzy electronica from a Guitarist’s perspective ... or here, just fingers ... cool.
The TB-303 filter has a 12dB/Oct slope
excellent !!!!!!!! ))))))
I am going to buy this thing because I don't know how to play guitar.
Okay, this is more like it. I didn't buy this thing to play Queensryche with a synth, I bought it to meke nerdy beeps and boops. My big question is, can I also run keyboards or more importantly, my voice through it?
Hello!! I am from Chile, very good job !!
How do you leave the pedal note? (0:09)
Thank you
Hey man this awesome what was on osc2
mother of god
I so need you to help me get a synthwave sound :)
Is there an ADSR control for each OSC?
Can you sequence other things? Like the slicer or filters?
Joe Bonamassa brought me here.
How do you hold a note
David Thompson I'm not at my Sy300 at the moment but you can assign different functions to the different switches. In this case "osc1 hold" (and 2 and 3). Great function to "freeze" notes or chords as well!
Herwig Scheck that's great, thanks. Great demo!
What's going on here? Guitarists can't do such tweaking, this guy must be a DJ or even Jean Michel Jarre himself
STOP! this is no way to demo this! cease immediately, please.scroll through the endless menu's.
He's going off the grid, breaking protocol
This demostrates that synths are NOT for guitar
Sure they are. Just try to approach it for what it is: a synth. Not a guitar pedal.
Most demo's I've seen make the SY-300 into a distortion box.
Herwig Scheck the only real guitar synths are the moogerfoogers; reason? they allow you connect SEVERAL expression pedals for control the basic synth parameters you want(VCO, VCA, LFO,...). Just like keyboard synths: the rigth/left hand controls those parameters while you're playing(on the contrary, the SY 300 only have one expression pedal connection, what is ridiculous) But, obviously, the foot isn't the hand, and despite that moogerfooger's feature, if about create SYNTH SOUNDS we're speaking, I prefer to play an (analog) keyboard synth
+creamforever2 you can control lots of parameters of this if you get your MIDI stuff together, boy
+Javi G that includes asigning a lot of controller types, pedals, accelerometer, foot preassure...
How did you hold the original note at the start?
Also wondering this
