Roland V-Synth Manuale Utente

 

The V-Synth brings together the ideal combination of sound generators, together with an interface that dynamically links your sensitivities with 
the sound. It’s a powerful synthesizer that only Roland could have produced. The sounds of the V-Synth have a living character that goes beyond 
the limits of previous synthesizers.

The sound generator section consists of OSC, MOD, COSM, and 
TVA blocks, and allows you to flexibly change the way in which 
these blocks are connected. Sections other than the TVA provide 
multiple types, and can be combined freely.

Since each section can be switched on/off in real time from the 
panel, it’s always easy to understand how the sound is structured.

 

●

 

Since the oscillators have independent envelopes and LFOs, they 
themselves have the functionality of synthesizers. You can choose 
from three types: analog, PCM, and external input.

For example, since the PCM oscillators provide VariPhrase 
functionality, you can change the waveform playback speed in the 
forward or reverse directions.

Approximately 300 different preset waveforms are built-in. In 
addition, you can use waveforms that you sampled from the analog 
or digital input.

The powerful analog modeling sound generator creates a waveform 
by internal calculation, and is great for creating unique tonal 
changes, such as adding fatness or more of an edge to your sound.

 

●

 

The COSM section uses a rich variety of processing in addition to the 
usual TVF to vary the sound in extreme ways. For example, you can 
use a sideband filter to give a metallic resonance to simple white 
noise. You can use a resonator to add the body resonances of a 
musical instrument. Processes such as wave shaper and guitar amp 
modeling are also provided.

Since these effects are independent for each voice, you can play 
chords while preserving the sense of pitch.

 

●

 

Three types of carefully selected effects are built-in: MFX (multi-
effects), chorus, and reverb.

Also included is a newly developed Pseudo Stereo effect that adds a 
sense of stereo to monaural sample data, allowing you to create a 
variety of sound fields.

The V-Synth provides a rich variety of controllers for hands-on 
operation, which puts you in direct and intuitive control of the 
sound: a touch-operated display, the Time Trip pad, twin D Beam 
controllers that detect not only up/down but also left/right 
movement, and highly sensitive knobs.

Most of the sound generator parameters can be assigned to these 
controllers for direct control.

●

The VariPhrase sound generator of the V-Synth provides a Time Trip 
function that can bring the waveform playback to a stop in real time, 
and trace backward or forward from that point.

In addition, VariPhrase waveforms, LFO, envelope, arpeggiator, and 
effects can all be made to operate in synchronization at the same 
tempo. For example, a waveform with movement such as a rhythm 
loop can easily be synthesized in units of individual notes. Of course 
you can also synchronize to MIDI Clock messages from an external 
device.

The arpeggiator lets you program a pattern for each sound, and also 
supports control changes.

●

The new built-in sounds created specifically for the V-Synth give 
you a wide range of expression simply when played from the 
keyboard, and are also optimized for performance from the Time 
Trip pad and D Beam controllers.

From the day you start playing the V-Synth, you can start taking 
advantage of the performance potential offered by its Time Trip pad 
and D Beam controllers.
