Totally agree,love mine to bits...Also thanks for the upload midi maniac🙌..Also for more Vsynth noodling theres the awesome 'JayB's channel- fluttershy/V synth sample..doing a fine example just like this👍🏼👍🏼🇬🇧
So cool to see your comment again. I indeed remembered it. At that time I didn’t know the V-Synth at all. I sold the VP and missed it. Then I bought the VariOS but the fact that it needs a computer is not that convenient for me. Suddenly I found an XT and I was impressed but I missed the controls. Then a few months ago I found a V keyboard and wow...totally in love. I will continue with videos. Thanks for your positive comment.
jumped on my pair...... have the v synth 2.0 with VC-01 card and a xt rack unit .....along with the JD-800 and a JP-8080 but i have been on a G.A.S. streak for a few years now ....
Rogier, I need to register a serious complaint. I was just looking up videos about my 909 that just arrived, and I found myself watching another great video from you for a V Synth I do not even own. 10 minutes later I get a notification from eBay that I just bought a v-synth. This is entirely your fault.
Oh yeah... it’s just the beginning for you. This instrument is never ending. It was so under rated and misunderstood when they released it. Definitely was a sound design tool/synth.
Indeed Jason. For me it's the beginning and I love it. I use it a lot in my entries for the Hardware Challenges and people are asking about it. Let's see if I can copy the VC-1 ;-)
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I tried to do something similar with my V-Synth a while back but it didn't turn out nearly as good as yours. I'm going to have to give it another shot using your techniques.
And thank you for the reaction. Good luck on improving the vocals. You will manage it. My idea is to upload more V-synth videos because it’s a wonderful machine.
As ever, a very interesting and nicely done tutorial! I love my VP9000 I have bought thanks to your tutos! Now the question is: where to listen to the full version of the last track? :-P
The V-Synth is since the release one of my favorite synth, it's a pity that Roland re-released a lot of old synth but not the V-Synth, with the actual power of today's DSP it would be a really great machine... I already released a small sound set by myself creating something unique...!
I totally understand that this unit is your fav. To be honest about the boutiques. I understand Roland why they released their top-units, because the V is deep. It's not just some sliders and knobs. It's packed with soooo much extra features. How many people know how to use the Step Modulators? And this V has 4 of them! I mean...WOW! you released a small sound set? Where can I buy it?
@@theMIDImaniac A boutique version makes no sense, that's true, a V-Synth without sliders and knobs is no V-Synth. But the V-Synth needs a major hardware update, you feel it very often that the machine is old, it bugs sometimes, voice stealing, less memory and more missing things in the OS. When Roland would be interested in updating this machine, i would buy a new hardware synth again. Here is a link to my soundset: th-cam.com/video/e5vuhjvqrdY/w-d-xo.html and to the updated version: th-cam.com/video/moIzGAtFwlU/w-d-xo.html Thank you!
@@XenoxParticularSound I totally agree on your thoughts. At this moment my V is doing fine. Feels like new. The XT though has dial-issues. Thanks a lot for the links. I will take a listen to them. Thank you!!
@@XenoxParticularSound I was not clear in my previous message. I have the XT too but due to the value issue I don’t design a lot. Now with the V I’m finally doing something serious with the technique.
Oh Man, makes me miss my V-Synth. You already inspired me to buy another Sp-808 after 20 years.:) Do you have the expansion cards for the V-Synth? I had the vocal one, it was really cool, I regret selling it.
Regret is always painful... I do have the VC-1 card and also the V-Synth XT which contains both as you might know. The Variphrase virus caught me with the VP-9000. Sold that one and I regret it too. But now I have VariOs and V and XT. No, GT will not be added 😅
I had a feeling what I really wanted for my synthetic vocals was the V-Synth but the prices have shot up quit high in 2022.. MPC Live 2 or V-Synth XT? Choices choices
That's an amazing compliment, Rik! Dankuwel! Perhaps you can explain me why this was good enough for that playlist. For future videos it can help me because sometimes I just don't know where to start and what to explain. There's so much to share!
@@theMIDImaniac it was mainly because you started with a 'horrible' toneless sample... and in a few steps made a great vocal with *tons* of expressive possibilities ... on the V-Synth. It opened my eyes... Having the vocoder card made me never consider this avenue for voice. You showed one of the remarkable strengths of the V-Synth. And explained it meticulously for everybody to understand. You're a great teacher :)
Wow! This sounds amazing. Love your video's Roger, keep them up. Can this only be done with the V-Synth and VP-9000? (PS What is the "Roland Font" It's such a nice font).
Thanks a lot, my friend. AFAIK this technology is offered in VP, V-Synth/XT/GT, VariOS and the VA-7. Find here a link to folder with the Roland fonts :D themidimaniac.com/roland-synth-fonts/
Can you trigger the V-synths sequencer and arpeggios with the TR-8 or other rhythm machine brands using the hand clap, cow bell, etc as the trigger to create bass lines. Like in some of the videos from Synthmania using older drum machines and synths that have trigger inputs and outs on them??? Trying to find out if that can be done with the V-Synth or do I need to find another type of synth to do that with??
It depends on the space you've left for sampling. It works fine with longer strings of text but you have to make sure it's all in sync otherwise the sample would drift off.
In my part of the world, V synths and their derivatives are very rare...are there any other synths that offer the same sort of functionality? Especially with regards to vocal manipulation
hey Roger bought both the V Synth Original and GT last Year and have learned more in your few videos than the time that ive had them........ Hey Can you CHANE THE MULTI TIMBRAL state of the keyboard when it boots up thats parts 1-8 to the sounds you want and then save them and reload when you want or is it the same list of sounds globally every time you turn on the keyboard. Nothing much in the manual ...... Man you may need to do indepth videos on this vsynth if you let me know what you may want for patreon maybe we can work something out..... i didnt know how to get the ARP stuff going or the DRUM stuff going ....... i can see the screen is a little hard to record on video maybe you can do that a little better ..... im also trying to see if the GT will have the same results knowing that it is 2 vsynths in one how many ARPs and Drum stuff i can do on that ..... i think you got everything but the Edirol CG 8 Legacy that would complete your collection ...... i had to down size so dont have what you have anymore but i too am a ROLAND MAN......
Hi! Thanks for your comment. I will look into improving the quality of the camera. Indepth videos is a good idea too. I started last year with Patreon, but then I really have to offer something, I think. Let me rethink that!
The only thing they have in common is the so called elastic audio. The VP is only a sampler and the v-synth has also a synth engine built in. Also the V-synth has an arpeggiator, 4x step sequencer and controls like the time trip pad and the D-Beam. Only the VariPhrase (elastic) Audio is the part they share. Ah, the polyphony on the V-synth is 24 and on the VP it is only 6. Two totally different units.
Just my opinion but this is the best sampler/synth ever made.
Fantastic demo - truly stunning! Thank you! Georgous piece at the end!!
Thank you, Kevin. That VariPhrase technology is indeed super cool.
Totally agree,love mine to bits...Also thanks for the upload midi maniac🙌..Also for more Vsynth noodling theres the awesome 'JayB's channel- fluttershy/V synth sample..doing a fine example just like this👍🏼👍🏼🇬🇧

Remove the bed vocal and just use the first 2 parts mate that’s beautiful 😍
Indeed a much better idea. I have to sit down and think about some nice lyrics :D
The V- Synth is expensive even used.
Do you know something similar to the V, like a plugin or anther Roland model?????
Please let me know.
Will this work on long strings of text or better to use shorter phrases?

what’s the difference between this and the VP9000 with a midi keyboard?❤️

Also the V-synth has an arpeggiator, 4x step sequencer and controls like the time trip pad and the D-Beam.

Ah, the polyphony on the V-synth is 24 and on the VP it is only 6.
Two totally different units.
But do you need the vocal card to do this? Thanks
No, this is standard in the V-Synth :)
@@theMIDImaniac perfect thanks for letting me know
Can anyone confirm that this has been achieved using the standard V synth or does the VC2 card need to be installed for this to work...?
100% only V-synth without VC-2 🙌🏽
