Tusker Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Visually very reminiscent of the Jupiter 8. Thank you for taking the risk Mr Kakehashi. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoahZark Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 P.S. Any guesses at what the street price will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildbill Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm hoping somewhere around $24.95 (USD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm hoping any new software features will be available for the V-Synth XT I just bought a month ago... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burningbusch Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm surprised but this looks great. NewAP synthesis. Looks like it can be used in addition to standard V-Synth sound generation. Five structures instead of three on the original. Structure 5 shows AP synthesis with Vocal Designer so it's possible VC is built-in and always available. Upper and lower tone. That's a very, very nice improvement. They probably upped the power of the synth. Eight soft knobs. Of course that color display. Colors everywhere. -------------- The V-Synth remains, for me at least, the only interesting digital synth out there. It can do things you can't do in software. The VAs are just a rehash. Want subtractive synthesis, get an analog. Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyman_sam Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 My guess is that its a color touch screen display - perhaps the first in keyboards (excluding the arrnager style keyboards). Roland is going in the right direction! Dont follow me....i'm lost too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningbusch Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Well Roland has had color displays (non touch) on their workstations for a few years now. The original V-Synth is a B/W touch screen. The V-Synth XT is a color touch screen. Also, the OASYS is color touch. I would bet the new V-Synth keyboard is color touch. Busch.

Tusker Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Busch, Thanks for your nice observations. Originally posted by burningbusch: Five structures instead of three on the original. I am glad they ditched some the vestigial XV/JV/JD stuff like the ring modulator. Hopefully the sonics got cleaned up in the process. Originally posted by burningbusch: Structure 5 shows AP synthesis with Vocal Designer so it's possible VC is built-in and always available. The reboot requirement killed the original V-synth for many live performers. This is aimed more squarely at them. Roland was listening. Originally posted by burningbusch: Upper and lower tone. That's a very, very nice improvement. They probably upped the power of the synth. Yup. Hopefully things like load time have improved with the additional processing capability. I am bracing for sticker shock. It's the Oasys effect right? Originally posted by burningbusch: The V-Synth remains, for me at least, the only interesting digital synth out there.For me it seems to promise controllable, unique timbre without being a huge time sink like Reaktor and G2.

zeronyne Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Man, so this year, I have get a pair of ADAMs (or 5), something to replace my Triton Pro X, upgrade my V-Synth, and get a new Mac right after the next speed bump. AND I have to upgrade Live and probably Logic. I thought this was the year I wan't going to buy anything! "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangefunk Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 For me its going to be an expensive year too, but I already have been saving for two years. Also I bought a lot of gear that I can sell and make a profit on (e.g. rhodes, bass pedals, Access rack, CX3). At the moment I'm looking at: MOTIF XS-7VSYNTH 2iMAC 24 and I'll also hopefully get my Promega 3 repaired!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niacin Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 damn. My gas list had been wittled down to a dual phaser which I will have the cash for soon enough. I had the original v-synth on the list for a while but there were a few things that put me off, at least until the second hand market brings prices down further I thought. Then I thought I might pick up the new Kaoss pad for very basic live sample mangling. However. Looks like Roland've responded to the few shortcomings of the original so I think this will be my major purchase this year. Those folks who keep bagging out the big 3 for not producing much new in the way of synths in the last 10 years will have to leave Roland off their hitlist now. Unexpected and very very welcome.
