Roland V-Synth Manual Do Utilizador

Broadly speaking, the V-Synth consists of a 

 and a 

.

The right side of the V-Synth’s front panel is where the controls for 
the Sound Generator section are located. The controls on the left side 
are mainly those of the Controller section.

The sounds you play on the V-Synth are called 

. Each patch 

consists of a 

 (an arrangement of its six sections), 

 

(which allow for sixteen individual setups for sixteen key ranges), 
and three 

.

fig.01-02.e

The controller section consists of the keyboard, pitch bend/
modulation lever, time trip pad, D Beam controller, C1/C2 knobs, 
arpeggiator, and pedals connected to the rear panel. When you 
manipulate these controllers, they send performance data to the 
sound generator section, causing the V-Synth to create sound.

The maximum polyphony of the V-Synth depends on the OSC and 
COSM types used by the patch.

Changing the effect type or switching effects on/off does not 
affect the available polyphony.

The V-Synth allows up to 16-part multitimbral operation, and can be 
played multitimbrally by performance data sent from an external 
device. You can use the V-Synth to play the sounds of a song you 
created on your sequencer, or as part of an ensemble. From the 
keyboard you can play only the patch that is assigned to part 1. The 
PATCH Information window shows you the patch that is assigned 
to each part (p. 98).

A sound module that allows you to control multiple sounds 
independently in this way is called a 

.

Zone 15

Zone 2

Zone 1

OSC1, OSC2

This section generates the sound on which 
a patch is based. The sound is produced ei-
ther by built-in preset waves or sampled 
waves, or by calculating an analog model-
ing waveform. An external audio input 
source can also be used.

MOD

This section mixes and modulates the two 
audio signals.

COSM1, COSM2

This section applies a wide variety of pro-
cessing including filtering. This differs 
from the effects in that effects are applied to 
the final mix of the sound, COSM is applied 
to each individual note.

TVA

This section creates time-variant changes in 
volume, and sets the pan position.

MFX

The multi-effects are multi-purpose effects 
that can completely change the nature of 
the patch’s sound. There are 41 different ef-
fects types; select and use the type that suits 
your aims.

CHORUS

Applies a chorus effect to give the sound 
depth and spaciousness.

REVERB

Applies a reverb effect to add ambience to 
the sound.
