PX Guitar Syn is a guitar synthesizer plugin from UVI, built around sampled sounds from the GS and GR-500 guitar synth hardware. It includes 300 presets and a dual-layer editable architecture for creating patches.
PX Guitar Syn is an instrument plugin that draws on the GS and GR-500, a guitar and synth combination first released in 1977. The plugin's sound library is built from a collection of 30,409 hardware samples arranged into 217 layers. It covers a wide range of styles, from fuzz guitar tones to synth pads, and is designed to be easy to edit. Its dual-layer architecture allows stacking of sounds for fuller patches.
PX Guitar Syn offers 300 presets in categories including bass, bells, brass, FX, keys, leads, organs, pads, pluck, polysynth, strings and sweeps. The developer states the presets were hand-crafted by its in-house sound design team.
The sounds are built from hardware samples, which gives the library a tonal range that moves from big fuzz guitar tones to sweet synth pads. The dual-layer design makes it straightforward to stack two sounds into one patch.
Each patch can be shaped with ADSR amp envelopes, multimode filters with envelope control, and poly or mono modes with glide. Pitch shifting and stereo modes are included, along with modwheel mappings.
Modulation options include LFO and step modulators, and there are two arpeggiators. The built-in effects cover a 3-band EQ with sweepable crossover, drive, Thorus, ensemble, Phasor, digital delay and Sparkverb.
