Owner’s Manual

The V-Synth XT comes with the VC-1 and VC-2 titles from Roland's “V-Card” software series preinstalled. Without having to cycle power to the unit, you can sim- ply press a single switch to transform the V-Synth XT into a completely different product.

VC-2 “Vocal Designer” transforms the V-Synth XT into a cutting-edge vocal modeling processor. By playing a keyboard while you speak into the mic, you can create beautiful and clearly intelligible human choruses as well as many other vocal-type sounds with unprecedented quality.
