GT-3 Guitar Synth parameters

["Travis Hartnett" <hartne.t@apple.com>]

Someone was asking yesterday about what parameters were adjustable on the 
GT-3 synth effect, and how it compares with the EH Microsynth.  I don't 
have
the Microsynth manual here, but here's what you can control on the GT-3:

Input sensitivity: quicker response with higher sensitivity setting, but
more prone to glitching.

Wave: Square, Sawtooth, "brass", "bow" (soft attack)

Chromatic: selects whether synth responds to pitch changes of less than a
semitone.

Octave Shift: displace the synth tone an octave from the input signal

Pulse Wise Modulation Rate: allows you to modulate the waveform when square
wave is selected

Pulse Wise Mudlation Depth: depth of the aforementioned modulation

Cutoff Frequency: adjusts the frequency where the hormonics content of the
sound is cut off.

Resonance: adjusts how much of the harmonics contents around the cutoff
frequency should be emphasized

Filter Sensitivity: allows you to vary the point where the filter kicks in
based on picking volume

Filter Decay: period before filter change is stable

Filter Depth: depth of the filter effect

Attack: time for synth sound to reach maximum volume

Release: time needed for synth sound to reach zero

Velocity: volume sensitivity setting for synth sound (how much you picking
dynamics affect the synth volume)

Hold: allows you systain the synth sound independent of input (usually tied
to a momentary switch)
