New Sounds, New Features, Free Download

One year after its triumphant debut, the world’s most expressive synthesizer evolves with a Version 2.0 software
update. Features include a recharged cutting-edge sound set, dozens of newly enhanced effects, an Import Files
feature, an enhanced user interface, and more. These new features strongly support sound design and live
performance. Version 2.0 is available to all V-Synth® GT owners via free download.

• Recharged cutting-edge sounds
• Newly enhanced effects: 22 tone effects and 5 reverbs
• Chromatic-scale pitch bender function
• High-resolution knob response and tonal control
• Import Files function (Patch/Tone/Wave/Sample)
• Enhanced user interface
• Enhanced USB functionality
• Available to all V-Synth GT owners via free download

Multi-core Synthesis
By integrating a new dual core V-Synth engine, the V-Synth GT can combine Elastic Audio Synthesis, Vocal Designer technology, and AP-SYNTHESIS in real time. Roland’s proprietary VariPhrase technology is also integrated into the V-Synth GT. Together with its analog-modeling engine, External Audio input, and digital sampling architecture, the V-Synth GT provides an incredibly wide and colorful foundation on which to capture, manipulate and create sounds.

AP-SYNTHESIS
The V-Synth GT is the first synthesizer in the world equipped with AP (Articulative Phrase) SYNTHESIS. This revolutionary form of modeling recreates the ever-changing behavior, nuance and sound of an instrument as it’s being played. The results are stunningly expressive and realistic, and can be applied to acoustic instrument simulation as well as new, never-before-heard sounds.

Speed Programming
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 sound type, then it brings the most relevant parameters directly to the surface. You’ll be creating new sounds in seconds!

Futuristic Design
The V-Synth GT is a top-of-the-line instrument. No corners were cut in creating its futuristic yet friendly layout and design. New front panel features include a color touch-screen with eight universal control knobs, and the addition of dedicated buttons and sliders to make access faster and easier. From top to bottom, front to back, this is an instrument that says “first class.”
