Roland Clan Forums

<t>Thanks for this forum Artemio!<br/> <br/> Totally agree with what you said. I'm surprised nobody has produced a synth analog output/DAC emulator by now. Simply patch this to the channel insert, dial up 'audio output type' (ie Roland, AKAI, etc) and away you go... added dirt!!<br/> <br/> I think a...

<r>Well, for me, the only real improvement would be to have more of what already exists: <br/> <br/> ie make the V properly (easily) Multitimbral (with higher polyphony), including FX/Reverb/Compression and EQ for each part. That way we wouldn't need any external processing or mixing. <E>:)</E><br/>...

<r>The more exotic the better! <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> About 10 years ago I programmed some sounds for the AKAI S3000 disk library - some of these patches were used on their SG01v Vintage module. <br/> <br/> Soon after, many of my original waveforms were used on the Roland JV series 'Dance' board, the ...

<t>I know they have different keyboards for different jobs, but... for those with limited space (like most of the studio's I work in), one synth capable of many things would be a godsend.<br/> <br/> Take the D-50 card. A real D-50 (with extra voice cards) can be picked up for not much more than the ...

<t>of course - the only interest in the Fantom was for it's multitimbral use (not for it's sequencing ability), which i could see a use for on the V-synth.<br/> <br/> Not everybody wants (or has the room for) both, so the option to switch the V-Synth to a more usable Multi orientated synth (albeit w...

was worth a try!

<t>yeah - i'd like to see those JP features in the standard V-synth too...<br/> <br/> Supersaw/Feedback/Unison<br/> <br/> Have a feeling that maybe Roland are holding back on some tastey synth features from the standard V-synth, because they have something killer lined up that would make us part wit...

<t>Has anyone out there seen the internals of a V-Synth and a Fantom, side by side? Just wondering how different the hardware was (excluding the front panel etc)...<br/> <br/> I've not had the chance to compare, but I'm wondering if all Rolands new synths share similar specs - just running different...

oh yes - and supersaw would be great!!

<t>i have a long list too... maybe too long hehe... these were just for starters:)<br/> <br/> the thing that gets annoying about the phase prob is:<br/> <br/> set each oscillator to play the same drumloop, and play... they will always start on the same cycle, but they don't stay in phase all the tim...

<t>thanks. I know these two units are different, just wondered HOW different... I think you answered my question tho!<br/> <br/> how's the resonance on the Fantom? is it useful?<br/> <br/> Basically, I'm looking to use the Fantom as a Pad machine. Whilst I love the V-synth, it's multitimbral setup i...

Does anyone here know how the Fantom filters compare to the V-synth/other roland gear?

Are they analog in style or more along the lines of the JV1080 or (my fave) JD series...?

<t>While I love my v-synth, there are a few things which I'd like to see improved to make it even better! If you had the chance, what would you improve in the current OS? Here's a couple or three for starters...<br/> <br/> 1. I'd like the option for the oscillators to reset on trigger<br/> <br/> 2. ...

<r>Agreed - for wanting something different! <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> The only reason I mentioned the JP8080 is because it has great synthesis potential for certain types of sounds (ask most trance producers!), that roland have never really followed up on...<br/> <br/> The JP8000's never really stood up...

looking forward to new cards....

something along the lines of JP-8080 would be nice:)
