Hi folks
has anyone sampled the 1.5 waves yet?ive just switched from a v synth to the xt and had presumed ! i could simply load all my 0s2 V 1 patches into it (using the v synths os 2 - v 1 waves update but seems the xt doesnt support upgrade of os whilst retaining the older wave set . . . would have been cool if roland had thought about this and how people would have spent weeks on v 1 waveset sounds and then update to v 2 and maybe need to use in an xt ? i guess they cant think of everything
Does anyone have the v1.5 waves sampled so i can attempt to recreate some of my patches i have built using a v synth 02 2 with v 1 waves . . . what a game - surely in this day and age roland could have thought about this . . . seems So weird to not allow some form of swapping of internal factory waves in an easy way but i guess thats life . . . .i think teh file management and way they have sorted this is by far the most ridiculous ive used and ive been using studio gear for 20 years and some right junk.Thank god the v synth and xt are open minded in other ways as ive found the whole 'storage and transfer , using v1 sounds-v2 . . xt goes 202 . . .v 1.5 wont work but if you sample and then do this it will ' thing sums up the lack of common sense .Its like me releasing music which wont play on cd players older than 2004 or something unless the owner encodes a new cd . . . .they need to release V 1 waveset for xt but will they ? why the hell are all these companies like weak on this - nord did it with modualr v2 - cant load v 1 sounds . . . Oasy by korg loads Wavestation sounds but not wavesequences . . . . .its like these people have way to much intelligence but dont get the basics or realise the simple things - that i may need to load my sounds i spent years making in the new version (thats not really new at all!) not a great day for patch editing but where theres a will . . . .looks like i need an Xt and a v synth ! as i'm finding the xt great but its really not got the tactile feel of the V synth , the knobs seem slow and the whole thing seems to have compremise written all over it (which isnt a fair assumption on my part but i get that feeling after trading in a v synth (was a space issue here which kind of forced this)
And i suddenly realise the dbeams magic ! i would have been happy if i could have loaded Os 2.02 with V 1 waveset . . . i dont see why i cant or why they dont offer this which they did for the V synth ? maybe they will ? they managed to allow me to load 1977 d50 patches ! its madness . . . .
cheers and aplogies for the rant.If your reading this and are thinking of swapping a v synth for an xt dont ! get them both . . . and add a Vp9000 (which is way quicker for doing freaky vocal stuff on the fly )
best wishes
