Elastic Audio Synthesis To Go

Features

Named the “Synthesizer of the Year” at the 2004 MIPA Awards, Roland’s groundbreaking V-Synth now has a travel-friendly offspring. The XT is a portable new V-Synth with some spectacular tricks up its sleeves — and with enough synthesis and audio-processing power to make heads spin. It’s fully stocked with a potent array of synthesis types, including the V-Synth’s famous Elastic Audio Synthesis engine, plus analog-synth modeling, vocal modeling, and classic D-50 emulation. Add to that a rich lineup of COSM® effects, external audio processing, a touch-sensitive color display, eight universal edit knobs, and you have an instrument that redefines rack/tabletop technology.

• Next-generation V-Synth in rack/tabletop form
• V-Rhythm Mode
• Multi-Step Modulator
• USB streaming audio & MIDI
• VC-1 D-50 card & VC-2 Vocal Modeler card pre-installed
