Roland V-Synth GT Workstation Synthesizer
Roland V-synth GT delivers number of sound technologies — including Elastic Audio Synthesis technology, Articulative Phrase SYNTHESIS technology, Vocal Designer, COSM-based analog modeling, and PCM wave sampling and playback. V-Synth GT start with analog-modeled waves, PCM waves, or an external audio source, which you can then process with familiar synthesis tools like ADSR envelopes, LFOs, and filters. The original V-Synth GT contains hundreds of onboard patches and tones, and the Version 2.0 update adds many hundreds more cutting-edge sounds to expand the instrument’s already powerful abilities. The V-Synth GT is chock-full of ways to control the sound quickly and easily, all in real time. The touch screen is intuitive to use, and the response of the eight universal control knobs has been in enhanced in Version 2.0 to make adjustment of complex sound parameters tight and precise.
Special Features of Roland V-Synth GT Workstation Synthesizer
- AP-SYNTHESIS recreates the ever-changing nuance, feel, and phrase articulation of non-keyboard instruments such as strings, brass, and woodwinds, and you can apply these characteristics dynamically to any V-Synth GT sound as you play.
- Elastic Audio Synthesis and VariPhrase technology let you change the pitch, formant, and length of sampled sounds in real time, making them come alive with authenticity.
- Vocal Designer, an onboard vocoder with advanced voice modeling, allows you to use the most natural instrument of all—the human voice—to add the ultimate expression to V-Synth GT sounds.
- Full Color Touch Screen

There are two sets of analog stereo outputs, as well as a stereo line input and an XLR mic jack for using the onboard sampling features and processing external sounds with the synthesis tools and effects on the V-Synth GT Version 2.0’s rear panel. Coaxial and optical S/P DIF digital I/O is also provided, supporting sample rates up to 96 kHz.
