"We fully support repurposing guitar FX pedals for use with synths. For example, it now is common to find Eventides next to Moog 32's, and manufacturers like ZVex are transplanting their devices to Eurorack format. This makes sense, because there are a lot of additional colors and features they introduce, versus regular Eurorack FX modules. Impedance matching typically isn't a problem, and if it is, there are a lot of boxes to resolve it. Some time ago we took an assortment of ZVex, LGAL and other pedals we had that basically just were sitting around, and converted them for synth use. All of the inputs and outputs come up on the 1/4" patch bay at the bottom of each rack. Batteries have been removed, and all of the power connectors wired together for consistent, hum-free operation. We use combinations of these all the time in our various projects."
"Roland V-Synth Time Tripping 2017
Synth demo by Rik Marston
100% No Talking! Just PURE V-Synth POWER!
Yes! A demo of the V-Synth's TIME TRIP PAD
on Pads, Vocals & FX patches! I love this synth!
It's still on my TOP 10 list of BEST SYNTHS EVER.
Just the ability to shape the sound with the tip
of your finger with the TIME TRIP PAD or the palm
of your hand with the DUAL D-BEAMS, I wish that
ROLAND had designed MORE synths with these
types of controllers... SO LISTEN UP, ROLAND!!
We want a NEW TIME TRIP PAD in your newest
synthesizers coming out in 2018 & 2019!!
'Fat Chance' LOL I still can wish, right??
Here are the Patch names & locations in the video:
Anyway here are a few examples of the
TIME TRIP PAD in action, along with some
tweaking of the PITCH, TIME & FORMANT
knobs... you can design some seriously strange
sounds with the V-Synth. It can be a challenge
to hit the right PITCH, the knobs can be very
sensitive while tweaking, as you can hear in
the video, I am not PITCH CHALLENGED.. LOL!!!
The cash value for this synth should be going UP
in price second hand SO GET ONE NOW before it
goes up to $1,500 used!!!! TRUST ME!! IT WILL!!!
(Sampler+VA Synth+Audio In+Unique Controllers....)
"Recorded using Moog and Make Noise synths and modules, with Ableton as a mixer for reverb and lighting. Audio is sent to Ableton via an Expert Sleepers ES-8. All notes are from the synths, no outside MIDI was used (Ableton's clock was stopped). Lighting cues and state changes are controlled by an iPhone running Lemur as a wireless Ableton remote, taped to the top of the camera."
