Roland V-Synth GT 快速安装指南

AP-Synthesis (Articulative Phrase Synthesis) is one of the new features on the V-Synth GT. It en-

ables performance expression that exceeds the realism of sampling.

AP-Synthesis is a completely new method of sound generation; it does

not merely sample and reproduce the sound of an acoustic instrument, 

but actually models the way that an instrument responds to being played.

In a big step up from merely seeking realism in the sound waveform 

itself, this method meticulously models the way in which the sound

produced by the instrument responds to how the instrument is played.

While conventional physical modeling sound generators modeled an

instrument’s “structure” (the shape of its resonant body, the length of 

the tube, or the material of the vibrating object), AP-Synthesis models 

the “responses” or “operations” that are typical of that instrument being 

played, such as trills, portamento, vibrato, or dynamics.

This means that the synthesizer is not restricted to simply reproducing the “sound,” but is also able 

to reproduce the “expressions” and “operations” that are typical of each instrument.

The V-Synth GT models the way in which the sound responds to playing technique on several 

categories of solo instrument that have particular expressive power: the saxophone, the fl ute, the

erh-hu (a traditional Chinese instrument), and the violin. A trill played on a fl ute, a glissando on 

a violin, and special techniques such as vibrato or crescendo can be expressed simply by play-

ing the keyboard, without your having to be conscious of them, allowing you to create humanly

emotional performances in a realistic way.

For example by applying the “violin” phrase model to the “violin” source wave, you can obtain a

realistically expressive solo violin sound that’s just like what a violinist would play—simply by

playing the keyboard in the conventional manner.
