processor, external-audio inputs,
and other creative elements. Even though the XT is a full-blown
V-Synth, all of the features from its keyboard counterpart (plus
more!) have been squeezed into a 4U body. To complete the
package, Roland equipped the V-Synth XT with a perfect simulation
of the legendary D50 synthesizer as well as the acclaimed Vocal
Designer, a new dimension in vocal processing. Without having to
add VC cards or power the unit on and off, a single V-Synth XT is
able perform three different roles through live switching.
An Amazing New Collection of Built-In Patches
Use the Sound Shaper Function For Fast Sound Design
The V-Synth XT comes with a custom collection of unique sounds created by an A-list group
of star artists and producers. Many of the patches are programmed to sound like familiar
classics at first touch, but they explode to animated life when modulated.
When you want to create your own sounds, the XT's Sound Shaper function allows you
create new sounds with the virtual “know-how” of professional sound designers.
By selecting your desired category — whether a pad, bass, lead sound, etc. — this friendly
function guides you quickly through relevant parameters while editing. Complex editing is
made fast and easy.
Innovative Rackmount/Tabletop Design
Incredible Convenience and Ease of Use
The V-Synth XT 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.
The large, color touch-screen display provides luxurious navigation, and its
row of eight universal edit knobs makes using the synth fast, friendly, and
expressive. Also noteworthy on the front panel is the Hi-Z input, which allows
the XT to function as a unique and powerful effects rack for guitar or other
instruments, while the XLR input (with phantom power) allows the XT to be
utilized as a full-blown vocoder via the built-in Vocal Designer feature.
Audio/MIDI Interfacing & File Transfer Via USB
As well as offering MIDI communication via USB, the V-Synth XT's USB port can also
be used as an audio interface. Support is provided for various computer-related
tasks, including data backup to computer, audio-data transfer, and compatibility
with computer-based DAW applications.
