AP-Synthesis Models the "Performance"
of Acoustic Solo Instruments
AP-Synthesis is a groundbreaking technology that models the
behavior of four instruments (sax, flute, erhu, and violin),
recreating the expressive response characteristics of actual
playing techniques. Directly from the keyboard, the V-Synth GT
lets you effortlessly produce authentic trills, glissandos, vibrato,
crescendos, and other expressive nuances. The essence of
AP-Synthesis is its ability to be used with the synthesizer sound
source, such as an "analog lead synth" that provides the
expressiveness of violin playing.
AP-Synthesis brings organic, emotional expression to synthesis.
Moreover, in the V-Synth GT, these sounds undergo processing
in the COSM ® section as well as VariPhrase layering and other
effects. Going beyond the mere reproduction of the sounds
found in existing instruments, a whole new world of sound
creation has been opened.
*AP-Synthesis can be used with either upper or lower tones.
Elastic Audio Synthesis:
Amazing Expression and Creative Control
Roland has integrated its leading technologies in the V-Synth GT. One
of the key components is VariPhrase, which let you control the
elements of sound in flexible, creative ways. As well as providing
analog-like control over the PCM oscillator, it controls SUPER SAW,
feedback, and other high-quality analog modeling oscillators that
generate 16 very different types of waveforms. The configuration also
comprises a COSM ® processor that drives a powerful modulator, side-
band filter, resonator, and effect types for
a total of 16.
Through the mic and line input jacks,
external waveforms can also be processed
by the V-Synth GT's engine. All this
functionality is accessible via a section
structure that allows instant selection,
layering, and editing. � VariPhrase & COSM
� Control structure enables direct selection of diverse synthesizing processes.
Vocal Designer Built-In
Roland's acclaimed Vocal Designer ® has also been
included as one of the core components of the
V-Synth GT. With the press of a key, live vocals from a
mic can be altered as they are input. Imagine a single
voice transforming into a large-scale choir, for example,
or a backing chorus for a pop tune. You can also use an
audio phrase or other sampled waveform as a carrier
for a vocoder sound. Whatever the application, Vocal
Designer provides unrestricted control and modeling of
the human voice.
But that's only where the creative possibilities begin.
It's now possible to combine Vocal Designer with
VariPhrase functions, analog modeling, and
AP-Synthesis. Create complex multi-
core sounds that can be
manipulated organically in ways
unlike anything ever heard from a
synthesizer.
*Vocal Designer can be used with
either upper or lower tones.

High-Quality Color Touch-Panel LCD
User Interface Further Refined
The V-Synth GT's high-resolution TFT—LCD color touch
panel uses vivid graphics to display large amounts of
information in a friendly format. The display offers a wide
viewing angle, and provides greatly enhanced readability
compared to its predecessors. Since the display is touch
sensitive, editing is as simple as pointing to and touching
the onscreen menu items and icons. In addition, there are
eight control knobs below the LCD touch panel with
companion onscreen monitoring. In addition, jog dials and
cursor control buttons are
logically integrated, and the
D-Beam and other real-time
controllers are grouped in the
same area. Tasks are quick and
easy since the controls are
concentrated in one area,
which improves speed and
convenience during real-time
performances.
� Color touch panel and logically
positioned knobs offer fast,
friendly control.

Sound Shaper II Facilitates Speedy
Creation of Original Sounds
Serious sound designers will love the complexity and
editing depth of the V-Synth GT, but there are many
instances where musicians need fresh
sounds fast — and that's the beauty
of Sound Shaper II. Based on the
original Sound Shaper, this enhanced
mode lets you choose a patch, and it
brings the most relevant parameters
directly to the surface.

Equipped for USB Memory and
Audio/MIDI Interfacing. File Transfer
Upgraded to High-Speed USB 2
Compared to its predecessor, the V-Synth GT offers greatly
enhanced USB functions. For starters, USB 2.0 is now
supported, which allows significantly faster transmission
speed. In addition, two USB ports are now provided: one
port for USB-memory devices (which can be plugged in
directly for data storage and retrieval) and another port that
enables audio/MIDI streaming and file transfer for direct
connection to computer-based DAW applications.
V-LINK Support for
Images and Sound
The V-Synth GT fully supports Roland's pioneering V-LINK
protocol, which allows real-time manipulation of music
and images. Using the V-Synth GT's
expressive controllers, you can connect
compatible Roland/EDIROL video devices
and add a new level of visual expression
and excitement to your performances.
