Touchscreen Display
V-Synth’s large LCD screen responds to touch
and dragging motions—making it easy to set
graphic parameters like envelope curves and
filter response.
Intuitive sound editing with semi-modular structures
The V-Synth’s vast sound engine can be configured in
several different ways by choosing from three different
structure types. These structures define the signal flow
including the routing of COSM processors. Dedicated
buttons and diagrams make selecting a structure easy,
while a host of knobs, buttons and sliders offer direct
access to the most vital sound parameters. Careful
consideration was given to each knob and slider, ensuring
that sounds can be edited quickly and easily. More
detailed parameters can be edited on the V-Synth’s large
touchscreen, which even responds to dragging motions.
Imagine setting an envelope curve just by sliding your
finger on the screen! Whether you’re new to synthesizers
or a seasoned programmer, the V-Synth makes it easy to
dive in and get the sounds you want.
New variable oscillators powered by VariPhrase
At the heart of the V-Synth are two variable oscillators
with a choice of three types: PCM, Analog Modeling and
External Audio Processing. The PCM oscillator uses
VariPhrase technology to
bring new life to otherwise
static waveforms. Sample
your own waveform or
choose from hundreds of
presets, then independently manipulate pitch, time and
formant. A world’s first TimeTrip function lets you control
the time aspect of a waveform in any way desired.
Choose the Analog Modeling oscillator and you’ll get
nine fat-sounding analog waveforms beefed up for even
more warmth and punch. Or process any external sound
through V-Synth’s incredible architecture by selecting the
External Audio Processing type. No other
synthesizer provides this degree of sonic control.
COSM processing
=
total sound shaping
Instead of typical multi-mode filters, the V-Synth
features two dedicated COSM processors for
warping sounds in entirely new ways. If you
want traditional filters, they’re there. But if you want to
go beyond, simply select an algorithm like polyphonic
guitar amp modeling or the unique Side Band Filter,
which can pull out the sharper, metallic content of
sounds. There’s also a Wave Shaper, Resonator
(polyphonic waveform
processing through a
modeled resonation body)
and more. These tools are
an essential part of the
sound creation process and
can radically alter any
sound. The V-Synth’s separate
reverb, chorus and MFX handle all global effects processing.

Structure Panel
The V-Synth offers three structure types, which determine
the signal flow of the dual oscillators. Structures can be
selected using the
front-panel buttons.

Oscillator Panel
Variable oscillators let you choose from three different sound generating
techniques. These include analog modeling, external audio processing,
and PCM synthesis with
VariPhrase control.
overwritten with user-sampled waves. Simple record from
the stereo analog input or the S/PDIF digital input, and
you can edit the sample and use it as an internal
waveform. The V-Synth’s USB port also makes for a
convenient way to import .WAV and AIFF files from a
computer. You can even resample an effected sound or
any performance played with the TimeTrip Pad, D Beam
or arpeggiator. Sample data can be quickly copied to a
computer via USB, or to an optional PC card. And by
purchasing readily available PC card adapters, other
media like CompactFlash, SmartMedia and MicroDrives
can also be used.

COSM Processor Controls
Sounds can be further shaped using two COSM processors.
These include modeled multi-mode analog filters, plus
other tools like a Wave Shaper and
metallic Side Band Filter.
