Roland Clan Forums

Thanks for that - good to know they aren't too prone to it! At least if I get them replaced the next lot might hold up better... I'm probably going to get someone local to do it with some input from Roland UK who are very helpful. Thanks again.

Hello there - I haven't been able to use my V-Synth for a while - illness in the family - and yesterday I got it out for a play at last and...dead buttons! I have had a dodgy cursor button on it for ages but now one cursor button is completely non-functional as is the arpeggiator button and several ...

<t>Mmmm...looks like this is another useful thing that was there on the original V but has gone on the GT. Can anyone tell me I'm wrong? I mean - much as I love my V and GT there are times when they feel like going back fifteen years in time, computer wise. No patch compare - surely that's lame for ...

Ahh...that would be it. Time flies. Really makes you appreciate things when they suddenly aren't there!

A fantastic resource and I offer my respect for it's creation and maintenance..

<t>Hello again!<br/> <br/> The clan disappeared for a while there, didn't it? Anyway - glad to see it back. I've tried that for a bit - does the job thanks. All good fun.<br/> <br/> My quest to find out what, if anything, the VC-2 does that the GT can't continues...<br/> <br/> Why oh why oh why did ...

That sounds very intriguing. (The freeze thing).

I'm still confused about how to get a modulator WITHOUT using the microphone input in some way?? I need AT LEAST one more life to get my head round the GT. Phew!!

<t>Hello again - I'm not quite sure what you mean by "Vocoder Freeze". What I was talking about was the possibility of loading a sample into the internal memory and then using it in the same way as you would if you looped a section of audio in a DAW and plugged it into the microphone input. Quite a ...

<t>Hello Artimey - thanks for that. A different universe then! More formant types on the VC-2 though...(Fifteen on the VC-2, five on the GT, I think.) <br/> <br/> And then there are the algorithms which uses a sample held in memory as the modulator. (Kbd Vocal etc.). Handy for live use, perhaps.<br/...

<t>Hello there,<br/> <br/> I was wondering if anyone who has had a chance to use both the V-synth GT and the VC-2 could please try to answer this for me:-<br/> <br/> I have had a little time to look at both and it seems that each offers something that the other doesn’t. The VC-2 has 12 algorithms (i...

<t>Thanks for that - I'll try getting a Kingston 2bg and see how I get on with that. I've even tried ordering a couple of costly Roland sticks. I have my doubts about them ever appearing though...<br/> <br/> Just occasionally one of mine does actually work when I plug it in after the synth's on but ...

<t>I put the 2gb Boots own brand into the windows machine and formatted it FAT32. Back into GT, switch on - works fine. Saved a project to it, loaded it back in, samples present and correct it would seem. So the cause of "the freeze" wasn't the FAT32-ness. Perhaps it was the 4gb-ness. Or the Kingsto...

<t>Hello - I dare say all this is really well known but I've been messing about with my new (second-hand) GT and a few USB sticks and in case it's of any use my basic observations are...<br/> <br/> sometimes you can plug one in when the synth is on and it works. More often, you have to plug the stic...

<t>Hello there. I'm considering buying a GT but being as £2500 or thereabouts is rather a hefty load, I'm looking for a second hand one.<br/> <br/> I was wondering if anyone can suggest any specific tests I might want to do on it. Obviously there is all the usual stuff - do the knobs / screen / butt...

<t>Thanks OF (may I call you OF?). I hadn't realised the VC-2 was quite that sought after. Did you have to wait long to get such a good price for it, may I ask?<br/> <br/> I had considered the possibility of getting an XT and a GT and getting rid of my V. Hmmm...maybe. <br/> <br/> I do think that pa...

Thanks Paulo - I'd forgotten that the VC-1 capability had gone. That would be a shame. Both would be nice but...the money...the space...
