"Now we're about to get into the actual parameters that provide it with the digital synthesizer itself, from going from how the guitar sounds, to how it is interpreted with the program itself. I'll show you what that means with the first three knobs we're going to look at. Tone, slap and fret. These settings here for these knobs are always going to be the default that you find when you open the Slayer itself. The tone changes how it sounds based on what the synthesizer itself has its own set sounds. Like there's not really a kind of sound it's going to change to, it's going to change between the sounds that the synthesizer itself has already set for you. The slap changes how much the sounds from using like a finger pick or a actual pick, to hitting the string, or an interpretation of what that should sound like. And the fret will tell you, will change between how it sounds when you change notes in the piano row between the program itself. Changing these three knobs here will change the basic sound much greater than just the subtle dynamics of the guitar changing itself. These sounds will change very greatly how it will sound using the digital program itself, and using it in making your own music and putting down notes and notation using the Slayer."
