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.

Originally posted by kitphillips 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?

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!
