 The genesis of the V-Synth
In 1973
, Roland unveiled its fi rst synthesizer, the SH-1000. At that time, the 
signal was generated and processed by analog circuitry, and it wasn’t possible to create 
realistic pianos or similar sounds. But the synthesizer continued to evolve toward more 
sophisticated sound-creating potential.
The early 1990’s
 saw the further advance of digital technology, with vari-
ous manufacturers releasing synthesizers containing sampled (PCM) waveforms. Roland 
also released the JD-800, which was a digital instrument, but allowed analog-like sound 
editing, as well as the XP-50 workstation which contained a built-in sequencer.
In this way, synthesizers became instruments that made it easy to obtain a wide variety 
of sounds, and became indispensable to music.
But what is the true attraction of synthesizers?
In 2003
, Roland returned to one of the ideals from which the synthesizer originated.
“It’s fun to create sound”
The V-Synth was released, a synthesizer that utilized the latest technology to create new 
sounds. The time, pitch, and formant could be freely controlled even for sampled wave-
forms, allowing the creation of synthesizer sounds that had never been heard before.
And now in 2007
, the V-Synth engine has evolved to Dual Core, giving 
birth to the V-Synth GT and bringing you “AP-Synthesis” which creating realistic sounds 
based on an analysis of the playing techniques characteristic of instruments such as 
violin and sax, and “Vocal Designer” which lets you perform human voice.
“New sounds for all musicians”—that is the genesis of the V-Synth.
