Main Features
The V-Synth GT is a professional synthesizer that brings together Roland’s revolutionary technologies. A variety of sound
generators, including the latest AP-Synthesis, unique controllers, and a sophisticated user interface are joined in this amazing
instrument. For any genre or style, the V-Synth GT gives you musically expressive power of an entirely different dimension
than any previous instrument, with highly usable and playable sounds that are available nowhere else.
Sound creation power driven by dual-core technology
❍
The sound generator engine is now dual-core, delivering
approximately twice as much simultaneous sound control as
the previous model of V-Synth. Two tones (Upper and
Lower) can be combined, letting you use V-Synth sounds
created with VariPhrase or COSM together with Vocal
Designer or the newly developed AP-Synthesis to play two
different types of sounds together.
AP-Synthesis enables a new dimension of
performance expression
❍
The V-Synth GT features a newly developed sound
generation technology, AP-Synthesis (Articulative Phrase
Synthesis). By modeling and storing the way in which
individual acoustic instruments respond to being played,
this technology goes beyond merely generating “sound,”
and is able to re-create the nuances and behavior that are
distinctive to a particular instrument.
❍
Variations that are possible only for a synthesizer are also
provided as AP-Synthesis modeling types. This makes it
possible for you to select truly unique models—for example,
you could use violin performance techniques to play an
analog lead synth sound. These sounds can be processed
through COSM or layered with a VariPhrase sound to
create new sounds that are not limited to the simulation of
existing instruments.
Vocal Designer function that’s highly integrated
with the synth sound generator
❍
Since its debut, Vocal Designer has continued to astound
the music scene with its amazing human vocal emulation.
Until now, this has been limited to use on its own in the V-
Synth series, but on the V-Synth GT you can use it
simultaneously with V-Synth sounds that use VariPhrase or
modeling OSC, as well as with AP-Synthesis. You can
create performances that have never been heard before,
such as a complex pad that interweaves VariPhrase and
arpeggios, wrapped in a spacey vocal ensemble.
❍
The microphone input section provides a combo jack, which
accommodates either a 1/4" phone plug or an XLR
connector (phantom power is supplied), making it easy to
connect a variety of microphones.
A powerful user interface that’s easier to use than ever
❍
The V-Synth GT features a new, high-resolution TFT color
LCD. This LCD can display a wide range of colors and offers
a broad viewing angle. Not only is it a delight to view, but
it also delivers a great leap in discernibility when you’re
editing sounds. Of course, the LCD is a touch panel, so you
can directly access an item you want to manipulate. The
eight knobs located below the LCD are directly linked with
the parameters shown in the screen, allowing intuitive
control.
❍
Frequently used controllers have also been rethought. For
example, we’ve speeded up operation by unifying the jog
dial and cursor buttons into a single unit. The arrangement
of the realtime controllers has also been refined. The V-
Synth’s distinctive Time Trip pad, the twin D Beam, and
assignable controller knobs have been brought together in
one location, letting you access each controller quickly for
even more aggressive realtime performance.
New USB connector for backup media portability
❍
The USB functionality has also been upgraded on the V-
Synth GT. A USB MEMORY connector is provided, allowing
USB memory to be directly connected for data storage. USB
2.0 support means quick saving or loading of audio files or
patch data, and easy data transfer with your computer. In
addition to the USB-MIDI interface functionality provided by
the previous model, there’s also the capability to transfer
files via USB, and even realtime transmission and reception
of audio via the USB-Audio functionality that was a popular
feature of the V-Synth XT. These capabilities allow powerful
inter-operation with your computer and DAW software.
