V-Synth Rack Module

Roland's groundbreaking V-Synth now has a travel-friendly offspring.
The V-SynthXT 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.
Standard or Surreal
The original V-Synth's factory soundset was a showcase of twisting, bending,
otherworldly sounds. But the V-SynthXT is no one-trick pony, as evidenced
by the new batch of unique "playable" patches created by an A-list group
of star artists and producers. The patches might sound classic at first
touch, but they explode to animated life when modulated. Start on familiar
terrain, then hit the launchpad V-Synth style!
Sound Shaper
Experts onboard! The V-SynthXT's innovative Sound Shaper function allows
you create new sounds with the virtual "know-how" of professional sound
designers. By selecting your destination sound type - whether a pad, bass,
lead sound, etc. - this macro function guides you quickly through relevant
parameters while editing. Complex editing is made easy.
Audio Inputs
The V-SynthXT provides a variety of input paths for sampling and external-audio
processing. You can sample directly into the synth via its audio inputs
(XLR and 1/4-inch), you can import samples through USB (WAV and AIF format),
or you can feed live audio to the XT for processing in real time. The
front-panel Hi-Z input allows the XT to function as a unique and powerful
effects rack for guitar or other instruments, the XLR input (with phantom
power) allows the XT to be utilized as a full-blown vocoder. USB audio
streaming enables computer-aided sound design and additional audio-processing
possibilities.
Flexible Hardware Design
Physically speaking, the V-SynthXT is the most flexible rack unit Roland
has ever manufactured. It can be mounted in a rack, where it can be positioned
flush or tilted and locked at an angle that best suits your working environment.
Or, if you prefer, you can take the XT out of the rack, and place it on
a flat surface. Its angled profile is designed to make the XT work perfectly
as a standalone tabletop unit. Whether used in a rack or on a tabletop,
the XT's large, color touch-screen display provides luxurious navigation,
and its row of eight universal edit knobs makes using the synth fast,
friendly, and expressive.
VC-1 & VC-2 Built-in
In addition to its user sampling, elastic-audio manipulation, and analog-synth
modeling, the XT comes pre-installed with Roland's VC-1 (D-50 emulator)
and VC-2 (Vocal Designer). It's like getting two additional instruments
for free!
VC-1
The VC-1 transforms the XT into Roland's legendary D-50 synthesizer. Relive
the D-50 in all its glory. Every circuit and precise detail of this legendary
synthesizer has been faithfully modeled. It doesn't just sound like a
D-50, it is a D-50.
VC-2
The VC-2 brings advanced vocal modeling to the V-Synth XT platform - from
legacy vocoders to massive choir models with a level of expression never
before achieved from conventional voice-processing algorithms.
