We had to wait in line to get our hands on the V-Synth at the Roland village - it's more like a small town... On first impressions, Roland appear have incorporated a number of their existing technologies and brought them together into on single unit.
The touchpad controller from the D2, touch screen from the Fantom, and what sounds like the variphrase sample processing from the VP9000 technology (check the vocal processing in the demo). I'm not too sure that one could say that this was a truly innovative new product. Listen to the V-Synth (MP3) We'll be taking a closer look in the next couple of days so will bring you more information then. Features at Glance
