General Description

Amazing Sounds and Expression Possibilities
The Roland V-Synth GT builds on the original V-Synth, which is renowned by performers and sound designers alike for its expressive synthesis and sound design capabilities. The next-generation V-Synth GT merges the company's innovative Elastic Audio Engine with the Articulative Phrase Synthesis technology to form a new synth with ultra-realistic sounds and amazing expression capabilities. Features such as speed programming, Articulative Phrase Synthesis, and powerful analog modeling ability allow you to break sonic boundaries and create never-before-heard sounds with the Roland V-Synth GT!

Roland V-Synth GT at a Glance:
•Multiple forms of advanced synthesis
•New Articulative Phrase Synthesis
•Speed programming for fresh sounds fast
•Futuristic design

Multiple forms of advanced 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.

New Articulative Phrase 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 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 chose 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."

Roland V-Synth GT Features:
•Advanced synthesis with friendly user interface
•New Articulative Phrase Synthesis for realistic performance behavior
•Roland's proprietary Elastic Audio Synthesis engine plus Vocal Designer, playable simultaneously
•Easy and efficient user programming"

ROLAND JUPITER-6

via this auction

"The Roland Jupiter 6 was release in 1983 at a list price of $3,000, measuring 42" wide, 4 ¾" high, and 17" deep. It tips the scales at 35 lbs. The Jupiter 6 ("J6") is a 6 voice synth with a splittable keyboard, memory for 48 tones and 32 patches (two tones set up in a split combination). Each voice consists of two voltage controlled oscillators, a multi mode filter, two ADSR envelopes, and LFO. The unit has a second LFO which is shared by all six voices. Oddly enough while the unit can do splits it does not have a dual mode (due to the way the voices are split up). There are two separate synthesizer boards found in side the board a two voice unit and a four voice unit which are under separate control and allows for the splits..."
