Roland V-Synth Xt

Hi Guys.

I was wondering if any of You use the roland V-synt xt? Recently I played around with one of those at a local store, and I was blown avay by the stuff this thing can do. It sounds amazing, and I think it would be a great companion to a virus... Anyone willing to share their experiance?

But I got the V synth keyboard till tueseday from a local music store, they gived it to me to play around for free, to see if i like it. I know I will not buy it, but it's fun... So it's going back to store on tueseday

Dang man how'd you manage a demo like that? My local store would never allow a home demo....then again they're also the type of store who want $1600 for a used An1x

Well it's good to have conections . I have known the people who run the store for like 16 years now.. It has it's adventages. I can take home anything I want, without paying rental fees, to try out for up to a week. As long as I don't brake it. Last week, I had the Novation Zero sl to try out.. It's a good way of trying out new stuff. When I was buying monitors for example, I took home like 6 pairs in 2 weeks, and I finally choose what sounded good to me. I am sure some stores would let you do that, but I guess if they don't know you , you would have to put a money deposit. I know a lot of people demo units in their own home, casue it's the best, no one to bug you, you try the unit in your studio space.. makes a whole lot of dieferance..

ohh and $1600 for a used an1x that's the biggest rip of i seen. lol

nah
imo the vsynth is a much better addition to the setup, it can do sounds the above can never do.

And maybe a Supernova?

I believe Vsynth+virus+nordlead is all youll ever need

After spending the last two days, playing around with the v-synth, I must say it's a very nice syth, capable of producing stuff than no virus, nordlead 3, jp can't do.

Isn't the v synth a sample based creature? I always thought it was just a time/pitch manipulator... Played with it once, would defo favour it over a jp if you already had a virus I personally would kill for ne one of those synths! Doesn't the v synth xt have something about a vocal tool or something? Hows it different to a regular v synth and how does that work for you?

V-Synth 2 is some kind of sample based, vari phrasing synth. It just happens to have the entire JP8000 engine in its analogue modelling section. But buying a V-Synth just to use the supersaw oscillator is stupid, a hoorendous waste of money and a waste of the main point of the synth - which is sample based vari phrasing.

It is completely different to a JP8000, a Virus and a Nord Lead (all of which are analogue modelling synthesizers).

Apples. Oranges.

Yes the built-in VC-2 is a vocal modeling tool, which I haven't played around with much. It also has the VC-1 which is an old digital synth model (D50??? I can't remember off hand). Both these are built-in on the XT, but are separate cards that cost a few hundred dollars each for the V-Synth keyboard.

This synth is amazing and I haven't even scratched the surface as to what it can do.

well, if its got a whole jp 8000 in it, plus a crazy good sampler, plus some sick other suff... which I don't understand... Then it sounds Great I love roland!
