Kick ass synthesizer from Roland
Roland’s flagship mega-synthesizer grows stronger with the release of Version 2 software. This user-installable system upgrade adds significant new features to the already-powerful V-Synth. Version 2 brings new analog-modeled oscillators into the lineup (including the massive SuperSaw, enhanced from the original JP-8000), plus a completely new set of patches, and expressive features such as Sound Shaper, Rhythm Kit, and Multi-Step Modulator. Version 1 V-Synths can be upgraded to Version 2 via download.
TimeTrip Pad
This innovative controller lets you adjust the time parameter of a waveform in real time ? without affecting pitch or formant ? simply by dragging your finger along the pad.
Twin D Beam
Modulate a variety of effects and controllers using two infrared beams of light. Examples include oscillator pitch, LFO depth, TimeTrip, and more.
* D Beam light has been colored for illustrative purposes only. Actual infrared light beam is invisible.
