001
• Before using this unit, make sure to read the instructions below, and the Owner’s Manual.
.............................................................................................................................
001-50
• Connect mains plug of this model to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
.............................................................................................................................
002a
• Do not open or perform any internal modifications on the unit.
.............................................................................................................................
003
• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it
(except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
.............................................................................................................................
004
• Never use or store the unit in places that are:
• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heatgenerating equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration.
.............................................................................................................................
005
• This unit should be used only with keyboard stand KS-12 that is recommended by Roland.
.............................................................................................................................
006
• When using the unit with a stand recommended by Roland, the stand must be carefully placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. If not using a rack or stand, you still need to make sure that any location you choose for placing the unit provides a level surface that will properly support the unit, and keep it from wobbling.
.............................................................................................................................
008a
• The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions, or as marked on the rear side of unit.
.............................................................................................................................
008e
• Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also, the supplied power cord must not be used with any other device.
.............................................................................................................................
009
• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!
.............................................................................................................................
010
• This unit, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.
.............................................................................................................................
011
• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.
.............................................................................................................................
5
V-Synth-GT_e.book 6 ページ 2007年4月9日 月曜日 午後1時46分
012a
• Immediately turn the power off, remove the power cord from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest
Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page when:
• The power-supply cord, or the plug has been damaged; or
• If smoke or unusual odor occurs
• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the unit; or
• The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has become wet); or
• The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.
.............................................................................................................................
013
• In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.
.............................................................................................................................
014
• Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
.............................................................................................................................
015
• Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.
.............................................................................................................................
016
• Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized
Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
.............................................................................................................................

• DO NOT play a CD-ROM disc on a conventional audio CD player. The resulting sound may be of a level that could cause permanent hearing loss. Damage to speakers or other system components may result.
.............................................................................................................................
026
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.
.............................................................................................................................
101a
• The unit should be located so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.
.............................................................................................................................
101c
• This unit for use only with Roland keyboard stand KS-12. Use with other stands is capable of resulting in instability causing possible injury.
.............................................................................................................................
102b
• Always grasp only the plug on the power-supply cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
.............................................................................................................................
103a
• At regular intervals, you should unplug the power plug and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other accumulations away from its prongs.

IMPORTANT NOTES
291b
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 4–6, please read and observe the following:
Power Supply
301
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
307
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
308
• Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to connect the power cord’s plug should be one that is within easy reach and readily accessible.
Maintenance
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
452
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up on a USB memory, or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data.
However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
Placement
351
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
352b
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
358
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.
360
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.
Additional Precautions
551
• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s memory on a USB memory.
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s memory or on a USB memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors.
Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
554
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
555
• A small amount of noise may be heard from the display during normal operation.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
557
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).
559a
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
561
• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV series; sold separately).
By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

Main Features
The V-Synth GT is a professional synthesizer that brings together Roland’s revolutionary technologies. A variety of sound generators, including the latest AP-Synthesis, unique controllers, and a sophisticated user interface are joined in this amazing instrument. For any genre or style, the V-Synth GT gives you musically expressive power of an entirely different dimension than any previous instrument, with highly usable and playable sounds that are available nowhere else.
Sound creation power driven by dual-core technology
❍ The sound generator engine is now dual-core, delivering approximately twice as much simultaneous sound control as the previous model of V-Synth. Two tones (Upper and
Lower) can be combined, letting you use V-Synth sounds created with VariPhrase or COSM together with Vocal
Designer or the newly developed AP-Synthesis to play two different types of sounds together.
AP-Synthesis enables a new dimension of performance expression
❍ The V-Synth GT features a newly developed sound generation technology, AP-Synthesis (Articulative Phrase
Synthesis). By modeling and storing the way in which individual acoustic instruments respond to being played, this technology goes beyond merely generating “sound,” and is able to re-create the nuances and behavior that are distinctive to a particular instrument.
❍ Variations that are possible only for a synthesizer are also provided as AP-Synthesis modeling types. This makes it possible for you to select truly unique models—for example, you could use violin performance techniques to play an analog lead synth sound. These sounds can be processed through COSM or layered with a VariPhrase sound to create new sounds that are not limited to the simulation of existing instruments.
A powerful user interface that’s easier to use than ever
❍ The V-Synth GT features a new, high-resolution TFT color
LCD. This LCD can display a wide range of colors and offers a broad viewing angle. Not only is it a delight to view, but it also delivers a great leap in discernibility when you’re editing sounds. Of course, the LCD is a touch panel, so you can directly access an item you want to manipulate. The eight knobs located below the LCD are directly linked with the parameters shown in the screen, allowing intuitive control.
❍ Frequently used controllers have also been rethought. For example, we’ve speeded up operation by unifying the jog dial and cursor buttons into a single unit. The arrangement of the realtime controllers has also been refined. The V-
Synth’s distinctive Time Trip pad, the twin D Beam, and assignable controller knobs have been brought together in one location, letting you access each controller quickly for even more aggressive realtime performance.
New USB connector for backup media portability
❍ The USB functionality has also been upgraded on the V-
Synth GT. A USB MEMORY connector is provided, allowing
USB memory to be directly connected for data storage. USB
2.0 support means quick saving or loading of audio files or patch data, and easy data transfer with your computer. In addition to the USB-MIDI interface functionality provided by the previous model, there’s also the capability to transfer files via USB, and even realtime transmission and reception of audio via the USB-Audio functionality that was a popular feature of the V-Synth XT. These capabilities allow powerful inter-operation with your computer and DAW software.
Vocal Designer function that’s highly integrated with the synth sound generator
❍ Since its debut, Vocal Designer has continued to astound the music scene with its amazing human vocal emulation.
Until now, this has been limited to use on its own in the V-
Synth series, but on the V-Synth GT you can use it simultaneously with V-Synth sounds that use VariPhrase or modeling OSC, as well as with AP-Synthesis. You can create performances that have never been heard before, such as a complex pad that interweaves VariPhrase and arpeggios, wrapped in a spacey vocal ensemble.
❍ The microphone input section provides a combo jack, which accommodates either a 1/4" phone plug or an XLR connector (phantom power is supplied), making it easy to connect a variety of microphones.

Getting Ready
Connecting an Amp and Speaker System
Since the V-Synth GT contains no amplifier or speakers, you’ll need to connect it to audio equipment such as a keyboard amplifier, monitor speaker system or home stereo, or use headphones to hear its sound.
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment connected to the INPUT jacks may be low. If this happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors.
Before hooking anything up, make sure that the power on all of your gear is turned OFF.

Overview of the V-Synth GT
About Structures
The V-Synth GT’s upper tone and lower tone consist of eight elements ( sections ) that create the sound.
The way in which these sections are combined is called the structure type .
To create a tone for the V-Synth GT, you need to start by specifying the structure type. Then, you can edit the parameters of each section.
Structure Type
You can choose one of five structure types, as follows.
Structure type
1
2
3
4
Explanation
This is the most typical structure.
Different sounds produced by OSC1 and OSC2 can be mixed by MOD, processed through COSM1 using an SBF (Side
Band Filter) or other process to modify the tonal character, and the tone adjusted by the TVF selected for COSM2.
The sound of the V-Synth GT’s new AP-Synthesis can be mixed into the final result.
This structure connects OSC1 and OSC2 asymmetrically, and is a good choice when you want to use a modulation type other than “MIX” as the modulator. You can use OSC1 and
COSM1 to create the basics of the sound, use the OSC2 sound and the MOD selection to add variety, and select TVF for COSM2 to adjust the tone.
The sound of the V-Synth GT’s new AP-Synthesis can be mixed into the final result.
This structure pairs OSC1 with COSM1 and OSC2 with
COSM2. For example, you can use the Time Trip pad or other controller to morph between the sound created by OSC1 and
COSM1 and the sound created by OSC2 and COSM2.
The sound of the V-Synth GT’s new AP-Synthesis can be mixed into the final sound.
Unlike types 1–3, this structure lets you apply MOD effects to
AP-Synthesis sounds.
5 If you select this structure, you’ll be able to perform using Vocal
Designer.
The sound of the V-Synth GT’s new AP-Synthesis can be mixed into the final sound.
To select a structure type, press STRUCTURE [1]–[5].
You can also select the structure type in the screen (p. 37).

Section
There are eight sections, as follows.
Section name
OSC1, OSC2
MOD
COSM1, COSM2
TVA
AP-SYNTHESIS
VOCAL DESIGNER
Explanation
These sections produce the sound. You can select internal preset waves or waves you’ve sampled, or use analog-modeled waves generated by calculations. You can also use external audio input.
In this section, the two audio signals are mixed and modulated.
In these sections you can apply a variety of effects such as filtering. This is similar to effect processing, but while a conventional effect processes the final mixed sound, COSM applies the effect to each individual note.
This section creates time-varying changes in volume, or panning effects.
This section generates sound.
By selecting an instrumental waveform, then applying a phrase model that models the unique expression and behavior of a particular instrument, you can create natural as well as innovative sounds.
This section lets you use Vocal Designer. You can input sound via the mic connector, and perform using it.
After you’ve selected a structure type, you can turn the various section buttons on/off to disable sections you’re not using.
You can also turn sections on/off from within the display (p. 37).
AP-Synthesis and Vocal Designer can only be turned on for the upper or the lower tone, not for both.

Overview of the V-Synth GT
Project
The largest unit of memory used by the V-Synth GT is the project. A project contains up to 512 patches, up to 896 tones, up to 999 waves, and various system settings.
The V-Synth GT uses one project at a time.
Internal Memory
The V-Synth GT has internal memory that stores a project. When the V-Synth GT is shipped from the factory, this memory already contains patch and wave data, but you are free to overwrite any of this. You can always restore the memory
to the factory-set contents (Factory Reset, p. 235).
Temporary Area
When you switch on the V-Synth GT’s power or load a project, the project data is located in an area of memory called the temporary area.
Operations such as sampling or patch editing will affect the data in the temporary area.
If you simply turn off the power, the edited sample data or patch data will be lost; you must be sure to save it (using
SAVE/WRITE) if you want to keep it.
USB Memory
Internal memory can hold only one project, but you can use commercially available USB memory to store additional projects.
USB Storage
If you connect the V-Synth GT to your computer via a USB cable, projects, patches, tones, and wave data in the V-Synth
In addition, wave data created on the V-Synth GT can also be used by software running on your computer, or wave data created by your computer software can be used on the V-Synth GT.
Sampling Memory
The amount of memory you can use for sampling will depend on the state of the project that is currently loaded into the temporary area. With the factory-set project, there is approximately 69 seconds (stereo) / 138 seconds (monaural) of sampling memory. If you delete the factory-set waves, you will be able to use a maximum of approximately 380 seconds (stereo) / 760 seconds (monaural) of sampling memory. However since a maximum of approximately 290 seconds (stereo) / 580 seconds (monaural) can be saved in internal memory, you will need to use a commercially available USB memory if you want to store more samples than this.
* The above values are for when the sample is encoded using the “LITE” type (p. 188).
Factory Data
The factory data is an area of memory that stores the state of internal memory when the V-Synth GT is shipped from the factory. If you’ve erased the factory-set patch or wave data from internal memory, but decide that you would like to use it again, you can execute the Factory Reset procedure to bring this data back.

4.
What is VariPhrase?
VariPhrase has the following advantages:
1.
Capable of changing the pitch, rate of time expansion/compression and voice characteristics (formant) on a realtime basis.
Allows easy synchronization to tempo and pitch.
A single sample covers an extended range of keys compared to conventional digital samplers.
Retains sound quality, while implementing the above three advantages.
VariPhrase overcomes many problems that conventional samplers and digital recorders have with audio phrases.
Typical issues with Digital Samplers and Digital recorders
• Changing tempo affects Pitch.
• Changing the pitch of phrases affects tempo and formant of the sound.
• Limited control of audio phrases. You cannot adjust a partial section of a sound in real-time.
• Most samplers require multiple samples over limited key ranges for realistic playback of a sound.
• Samples of the same tempo must be available for performing chords, otherwise the notes of the chord will be out of sync.
• Pitch or tempo changes on Digital samplers tends to degrade audio quality.
VariPhrase solves all of these problems.
For more about VariPhrase, refer to “What is VariPhrase?” in Quick Start.

Applying Various Effects to the Sound
Varying the Velocity or Aftertouch
The force with which you play the keyboard, or the “velocity” with which you play, can affect the volume or timbre of a sound. Aftertouch—downward pressure you apply to a key after playing a note—can also affect the sound.
Pitch Bend/Modulation Lever
While playing the keyboard, move the lever to the left to lower the pitch of the currently selected patch, or to the right to raise its pitch. This is known as pitch bend . You can also apply vibrato and so on by gently pushing the lever away from you. This is known as modulation . For AP-Synthesis, this lever will apply the effect that is assigned.
If you push the lever away from you and at the same time move it to the right or left, you can apply both effects at once.

Applying an Effect by Touching Your Finger to the Pad (Time Trip Pad)
You can apply a variety of effects by touching your fingertip to the Time Trip pad located at the left side of the V-Synth
GT’s panel.
What is the Time Trip Function?
in real time. The Time Trip function takes advantage of this ability to manually control the playback location and speed of the wave. In patches that use VariPhrase, switch the Time Trip Pad function to “TIME TRIP” to use this function. While playing the keyboard, touch the Time Trip pad and the currently sounding wave will stop at the current playback location. Then as you move your finger from that point in a circle, the wave playback will advance in the direction of conventional playback (clockwise), or the reverse (counterclockwise). Unlike “scratching” on a turntable, this lets you control the playback without affecting the pitch, so you can play the sound at the pitch you specify from the keyboard.
You can use the D Beam controller to produce similar results.
Trip Sw (Time Trip Switch)” (p. 99) is on.

Arpeggio Pattern Edit (Creating an Original Arpeggio Pattern)
You can create your own arpeggio pattern that specifies how an arpeggio will be sounded. This gives you even more interesting ways to use arpeggios.
An arpeggio pattern is a set of data that can be up to 32 steps (horizontally) x 16 lines (vertically).
An arpeggio pattern can be saved for an individual patch as part of the patch settings. This means that you can create a patch designed specifically for that arpeggio pattern.

Patch Mode (Editing a Tone)
A patch consists of a combination of two tones. This chapter will explain how to edit these tones, and what the tone parameters do.
Creating a Tone
Broadly speaking, there are two ways to create a tone.
Using a template to create a patch intuitively (Sound Shaper II)
By using the Sound Shaper II function, you can select a group and template that is close to the sound you want, and then simply turn the knobs to edit the important aspects of the sound, just like a professional sound designer
Creating a patch from scratch (Pro Edit)
Based on the tones the V-Synth GT provides, you can combine eight elements (sections) and edit the parameters
of each section to create new sounds (p. 85).
Four Tips for Editing Tones
● Select a tone that is similar to the sound you wish to create.
It’s hard to create a new sound that’s exactly what you want if you just select a tone and modify its parameters at random. It makes sense to start with a tone whose sound is related to what you have in mind.
● Check the Structure setting.
The structure type is an important parameter which determines how the eight sections are combined. Before
● Decide which section(s) you will use.
When creating a tone, it is very important to decide which section(s) you will use. In the Edit screen of each section, use the on/off switch to specify whether that section will be used (on) or not used (off). You can also use the on/off buttons located in the STRUCTURE section of the V-Synth GT’s panel.
● Turn Effects off.
Since the V-Synth GT effects have such a profound impact on its sounds, turn them off to listen to the sound itself so you can better evaluate the changes you’re making. Since you will hear the original sound of the tone itself when the effects are turned off, the results of your modifications will be easier to hear. Actually, sometimes just changing effects settings can give you the sound you want.

4.
1.
Access the Patch Play screen, and select the tone whose settings you wish to modify (p. 55).
If you want to create all your tones from the ground up, rather than the tones that have already been prepared, carry
out the Initialize operation (p. 84).
Use Sound Shaper II (p. 158) or ProEdit (p. 85) to edit the tone.
When you save the tone, any data previously stored at the save destination will be overwritten and lost.

Tone Write (Saving Tones)
Changes you make to sound settings are temporary, and will be lost if you turn off the power or select another sound.
If you want to keep the modified sound, you must save it in the internal (internal memory).
When you modify the settings of a tone, the Patch Play screen will indicate “*.” Once you save the patch into internal memory, the “*” indication goes away.
When you perform the save procedure, the data that previously occupied the save destination will be lost. However,
the factory setting data can be recovered by performing the Factory Reset (p. 235).

This is the most conventional structure. Different sounds from OSC1 and
OSC2 are mixed by MOD, processed by COSM1 to create the tonal character (e.g., using SBF (Side Band Filter)), and then processed by COSM2 to adjust the tone (e.g., using TVF).
The sound of the V-Synth GT’s new AP-Synthesis function can be mixed into the final result.
This structure connects OSC1 and OSC2 asymmetrically. This is effective when using a modulation that has the modulator set to anything other than
“MIX.” Typically, you will use OSC1 and COSM1 to create the basic sound, then select the OSC2 sound and MOD settings to add variation, and finally select TVF in COSM2 to adjust the tone.
The sound of the V-Synth GT’s new AP-Synthesis function can be mixed into the final result.
In this structure, OSC1 is paired with COSM1, and OSC2 is paired with
COSM2. You can use a controller such as the Time Trip Pad to morph between the sound created by OSC1 and COSM1 and the sound created by
OSC2 and COSM2.
The sound of the V-Synth GT’s new AP-Synthesis function can be mixed into the final result.
Unlike types 1–3, this lets you apply effects such as MOD to AP-Synthesis sounds as well.
If you want to apply an effect such as MOD to the sound of AP-Synthesis, turn the OSC2 switch ON.
If you select this structure, you’ll be able to perform using Vocal Designer. For details on using Vocal Designer, refer to

Only the last-played note will sound.
The monophonic setting is effective when playing a solo instrument patch such as sax or flute.
Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.
Legato is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter is set to monophonic. This setting specifies whether the Legato function will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
OFF, ON
With the Legato Switch parameter “ON,” pressing a key while continuing to press a previous key causes the note to change pitch to the pitch of the most recently pressed key, sounding all the while. This creates a smooth transition between notes, which is effective when you wish to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.

Portamento will always be applied.
Portamento will be applied only when you play legato (i.e., when you press the next key before releasing the previous key).
The time it takes will depend on the distance between the two pitches.
The time it takes will be constant, regardless of how far apart in pitch the notes are.
When portamento is used, this specifies the time over which the pitch will change. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the next note to take more time.
This allows keyboard dynamics to affect the portamento Time. If you want portamento Time to be speeded up for strongly played notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.

Mono/Poly, Legato, and Portamento have no effect on AP-Synthesis.

Zone Settings (Zone)
On the V-Synth GT, the keyboard range is divided into up to 16 areas for each tone, allowing a different sound to be played in each area. Each of these areas in the keyboard range is called a “zone.”
The following tone settings are applied in common to each of the individual sounds that are divided by zone.
• Common group settings (except for Structure Type)
• Effect group settings for the Tone-FX type, and effect settings
You can select a different structure for each zone, but if you select structure 5, all zones will be set to structure 5.
AP-Synthesis does not support Zones.
Splitting the Keyboard to Play Different Sounds (Split)
A patch that contains settings to play different patches in each keyboard zone is called a split tone . Here’s how to create a split tone.
1.
In the Zone area of the Keyboard screen (p. 87), touch <Edit>.
The Tone Zone window appears.
fig.03-32_50 fig.11e
2.
In the lower part of the screen, touch <Split>.
A window like the following appears.

Specify the split point between zones 01 and 02. Either turn the VALUE dial or use [INC/+] [DEC/-] to specify the note number.
If you want to divide the keyboard into three zones, lower the top note of zone 02, and specify the split point between zones 02 and 03. By lowering the top note of the highest zone in this way, you can add more zones. You can specify a maximum of sixteen zones.
Touch <OK>.
The zones will be established, and you will return to the Pro Edit screen.
In this state, zone 01 is selected. Specify the sound that you want to play in zone 01.
9.
After you have specified the sound that you want to play in zone 01, next specify the sound for zone 02.
Specify the sound that you want to play in zone 02.
In this way you can create a patch that plays different sounds on either side of the split point you specified in step
4.
Each zone works just like a single tone. You can create the sound for a zone from scratch in the same way as for a
tone, as described in the procedure “Editing a Tone (Pro Edit)” (p. 85).
To save the patch you created, perform the Write operation (p. 81).

Matrix Control
Ordinarily, if you wanted to change tone parameters using an external MIDI device, you would need to send System
Exclusive messages—MIDI messages designed exclusively for the V-Synth GT. However, System Exclusive messages tend to be complicated, and the amount of data that needs to be transmitted can get quite large.
For that reason, a number of the more typical of the V-Synth GT’s tone parameters have been designed so they accept the use of Control Change (or other) MIDI messages for the purpose of making changes in their values. This provides you with a variety of means of changing the way tones are played. For example, you can use the Pitch
Bend lever to change the LFO cycle rate, or use the keyboard’s touch to open and close a filter.
The function which allows you use MIDI messages to make these changes in realtime to the tone parameters is called the Matrix Control.
To use the Matrix Control, specify which MIDI message (Source parameter) will be used to control which parameter
(Destination parameter), and how greatly (Sens parameter).

• Equal Temperament
This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is the most widely used method of temperament used in
Western music. The V-Synth employs equal temperament when the Scale Tune Switch is set to
“OFF.”
• Just Temperament (Tonic of C)
Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads sound pure in this tuning. However, this effect is achieved only in one key, and the triads will become ambiguous if you transpose.
• Arabian Scale
In this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower and C#,
F# and G# are a quarter-note higher compared to equal temperament. The intervals between G and B, C and E,
F and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb and F# have a natural third—the interval between a major third and a minor third. On the V-Synth, you can use Arabian temperament in the three keys of G, C and F.

Adjusts the pitch of the oscillator.
This specifies the amount of pitch change that will occur when you play a key one octave higher (i.e., 12 keys upward on the keyboard).
If you want the pitch to rise one octave as on a conventional keyboard, set this to “+100.” If you want the pitch to rise two octaves, set this to “+200.”
Conversely, set this to a negative value if you want the pitch to fall. With a setting of “0,” all keys will produce the same pitch.

This allows keyboard dynamics to affect the decay time of the envelope. If you want decay time to be speeded up for strongly played notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.
This allows key release speed to affect the release time of the envelope. If you want release time to be speeded up for quickly released notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.
Specifies the attack time of the envelope (the time from when you press a key until the envelope level reaches the maximum value).
Specifies the decay time of the envelope (the time from when the envelope level reaches the maximum value until it falls to a constant value).

AP-Synthesis is the world’s first sound generating technology that is able to apply the “behavioral model” of specific acoustic instruments to synthesizer sounds, thus creating new synth sounds that are overflowing with living expression.
Conventional physical modeling sound generators model a musical instrument’s “structure” (such as the shape of the resonating body, the length of the tube, the materials of the vibrating part). In contrast, AP-Synthesis models the way in which specific instruments behave in response to performance techniques such as trills, portamento, vibrato, or changes in dynamics.
Based on acoustic instruments that are considered particularly expressive lead instruments, the AP-Synthesis on the V-
Synth GT provides five different models (phrase models): violin, erhu, sax, flute, and multifade.
By applying the selected phrase model to one of 38 different AP-Synthesis source waves, you can create completely new “living synth sounds” that have never been heard before.

2.
fig.03-step04
The Multi Step Modulator is a function that modulates the value of various parameters according to a sixteen-step sequence. On the V-Synth GT, the patterns of this sequence are managed as “tracks.” You can simultaneously use up to four tracks, with each track containing a different sequence. You can use the panel knobs to freely modify the sequence pattern.
Press [PATCH] to access the Patch Play screen.
Touch <Step Mod>.

While playing the keyboard to hear the sound, input steps 1–8.
The V-Synth GT’s E1–E8 knobs correspond to knobs 1–8 and 9–16. To switch between 1–8 and 9–16, hold down
[SHIFT] and use [ ] [ ] (the frame in the screen will move). According to how you turn the knob, the effect will be shown as a graph of 1--16 steps, and the color will change.

If you touch < SMOOTH >, the graph will be smoothed. This will make the change in the sound occur gradually, producing a more LFO-like result.
The step bar shown at the far right (number 17) is the same as the one that appears at the far left (number 1). This is helpful when you’re setting up a looping sequence.
The parameter that is modulated by each track will depend on the tone. In the screen, you can touch Destination to change the assigned parameter.
In the same way, make settings for other tracks you turned on in step 4.
If you want to stop using the step sequence, turn <Multi Step Modulator Switch> OFF.

If you select structure type 5, you’ll be able to use Vocal Designer.
Vocal Designer is a function that uses cutting-edge human vocal modeling technology. By connecting a mic to the V-
Synth GT and playing the keyboard while you sing, you can model an extremely realistic and natural singing voice.

V-Synth-GT_e.book 147 ページ 2007年4月9日 月曜日 午後1時46分
How Vocal Designer is Structured
Vocal Designer consists of four elements: the mic, OSC1/2 (carrier), the vocoder, and effects.
fig.06d-02-j.eps
Carrier
This corresponds to the vocal cords of a human. The signal on which the sound is based (tone and pitch) is produced according to the pitches you play on the keyboard.
On the V-Synth GT, this consists of the combination of the OSC,
COSM, MOD, and TVA.
OSC1
MOD COSM1 COSM2 TVA
OSC2
With the default values immediately after initialization, these will be arranged in structure 1. However, if you want to use the arrangement of a structure 2–4, you can temporarily select the appropriate structure 1–4, then re-select structure 5 to obtain the desired arrangement of 2–4.
Mic
This is the mic connected to the rear panel.
Vocoder
From the audio signal received via the mic input, this extracts the various resonances (formants) caused by the shape and framework of the throat and the movement of the mouth, and uses these formants to modulate the signal received from the carrier.
Effects
Here you can apply a tone effect, reverb, and chorus.

As mic effects, equalizer (EQ), noise suppressor (Noise Sup), and compressor (Comp) are provided.
These mic effect settings can be stored together as mic settings, and called up when necessary.
Eight sets of mic settings can be stored. This allows you to easily use settings for Vocal Designer that are appropriate for a particular situation.
Note that when you edit the parameter value, the mic setting will also change simultaneously (and will be automatically saved).
Mic settings are System settings. They will be remembered even when you turn off the power. If you want to return all

In this chapter, we will explain the procedures for:
• Converting samples so the VariPhrase function can be used (Encoding) (p. 187)
Sampling
What is a Template? (Settings before you sample)
A sampling template is something that holds a collection of settings for sampling (the setup settings, pre-effect settings, and metronome settings described below).
You can store eight different sampling templates. When you sample, you will always select one of these eight templates.
With the factory settings, eight sampling templates are preset.
For details on modifying the settings, refer to “Sampling Procedure” (p. 165).
Sampling templates are system settings (with the exception of some metronome parameters). They are remembered even when you turn off the power. If you wish to restore all eight sampling templates to the factory settings, perform
the Factory Reset operation (p. 235).
Applications of Each Template
The preset templates cover different input settings and pre-effect types.

Howling could be produced depending on the location of microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:
1. Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
2. Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers.
3. Lowering volume levels.
When sampling, you must make sure that the following two items are set correctly. If these two settings are incorrect, the sample will not be recorded as you intend.
• What type of sample are you recording? (stereo or mono)
→ In the Sampling General screen, set Sampling Type.

The V-Synth GT is able to resample samples from its internal memory. This is called resampling. In actuality, the sounds that are output from the rear panel MAIN OUT L/MONO, R jacks are sampled.
For example, you could sample multiple samples played simultaneously, and record them as a single sample. You can conserve voices in this way.

Sample Mode
There are three pre-effects: compressor, limiter, and noise suppressor. By using these you can adjust the level of the sound being sampled.
Compressor
Limiter
Noise Suppressor
By reducing high levels and raising low levels, this effect smoothes out unevenness in volume.
By compressing sounds that exceed a specified volume level, this effect prevents the sound from distorting.
This effect leaves the original sound untouched, but mutes the noise that is heard during periods of silence.

This locks the length of the region between the start point (Start) and end point (End) of the sample. It is convenient to use this when you already know the length of the sample that you need, and want to find the right region to use.
After the length has been locked, you can turn the VALUE dial, use [INC/+] [DEC/-], or drag your finger over the sample in the screen to adjust the Start and End locations while maintaining the distance between these two points.
You can also use Adjust or Zero Cross Search while the length of the sample is locked.
(LOOP)
This switches loop playback on/off. Turn this on if you want the loop region specified in the Loop FWD/BWD screen to play repeatedly.
(PREVIEW)
This plays the sample. During playback, you can touch this once again to stop playback.
(Adjust)
In the Loop FWD/BWD screen, the Adjust function moves the Loop Start, Loop End, or Current locations to the nearest of the following locations 1–5.

The sample between Edit Start and Edit End will be copied.
The sample between Edit Start and Edit End will be set to values of zero.
The copied data will be overwritten, beginning at the current location.
If there is any sample data following the current location, it will be lost as far as the pasted portion extends.
The copied data will be inserted at the current location.
You can cut, paste, and insert between different samples. After copying, press [EXIT] to return to the Sample Top screen. Select a different sample, access the Sample Edit screen, and then paste or insert.
This operation inserts silent space at the current location. It can also be used to lengthen a sample to a precise number of measures and beats.
In the Sample Edit Zero Insert window, specify the length of the silent region that you want to insert. This setting is made in terms of a number of samples. Data in the V-Synth GT is handled as 44.1 kHz data, meaning that one second contains 44,100 data samples.
For example, if you wish to insert one second of silence, you would specify “44100” and execute Zero Insert.
If the amount of remaining memory is small, it may not be possible to execute Copy,
Paste, Insert, or Zero Insert. In such cases, delete unneeded samples from memory (p.
The stereo sample will be mixed to L, converting it into a monaural sample. If this is set to monaural, less wave memory will be used. This will also decrease the number of voices.
If the beginning and end of the sample are values other than zero, noise will be heard when you play the sample. Trim sets the values at the beginning and end of the sample to zero.
In the Sample Edit Trim window, specify the length that you want to trim. This setting is made in terms of a number of samples. Data in the V-Synth GT is handled as 44.1 kHz data, meaning that one second contains 44,100 data samples.
For example, trimming at 100 samples. This will connect the first data sample and the one hundredth data sample by a smooth line of one hundred points. Similarly, the last data sample and the data sample one hundred samples before it will be connected by a smooth line of one hundred points.

Normalize
Reverse
Region
The Normalize operation is used to uniformly increase or decrease the level of the entire sample without allowing it to distort. This is used when you wish to make the volume consistent with other samples.
In the Sample Edit Normalize window, specify the degree of normalization that you want to use. The value is specified in terms of a percentage.
For example, let’s suppose that 100 is the maximum volume at which the volume does not distort. Executing the Normal operation at a setting of 90% will make the maximum value of the sample be 90.
If you normalize at a low setting and then normalize at a high setting, the audio quality will deteriorate. This means that if you intend to normalize several times, you should start from the higher value and work downward.
The sample will be reversed between Edit Start and Edit End. If you want the sample to play backwards, execute Reverse to reverse the sample from the beginning.
The region of the sample between Edit Start and Edit End can be stored in internal memory as a separate sample. The original sample will remain unchanged.
Perform the following procedure.
1. Select the region that you want to extract as a separate sample, and execute Region.
2. In the Sample Edit Region window, select the sample number to which you want to paste the extracted region of the sample, and touch <OK>.
3. Assign a name to the new sample, and touch <OK>.
If in step 2 you select a sample number that already has a sample, the sample data between Edit Start and Edit End will be added to the end of the selected sample.

Original Tempo Setting
fig.04-15_50
The Original Tempo is the reference tempo of the sample used when synchronizing it to the master tempo.
Example: A sample whose original tempo is 100
If the master tempo is set to 200 and the sample is synchronized, the sample will play back at double the speed at which it was recorded. If you set the master tempo to 50 and synchronize the sample, it will play back at half the speed at which it was recorded.
The exact original tempo can be calculated from the time signature, number of measures, and number of beats for the sample length between Loop Start and Loop End. This means that you must first specify the loop region, and then set the original tempo.
If you wish to play back a loop while simultaneously synchronizing another sample, you must specify the correct original tempo. If you fail to do this, the sounds will drift out of synchronization.
1.
Move the cursor to the item that you wish to set.
2.
Either turn the VALUE dial or press [INC/+] [DEC/-] to set the “Sign” (time signature), “Meas” (measure), and Beat values.

The precise tempo will be displayed at the right of the “–>.” The tempo displayed here is the original tempo.
You can also move the cursor to the original tempo, and set it by rotating the VALUE dial or by using [INC/+] [DEC/-].

Encode (Converting the Sample to V-Synth GT Data)
After you have finished editing the sample, you should encode it. By using the encoding that is appropriate for the sample, you’ll be able to maintain a higher quality of audio while controlling the pitch, time, and formant.
The factory-set waves (preset waves) cannot be encoded.

If you wish to stop the encode during the operation, touch <Abort>.
When encoding is completed, you will return to the Sample Top screen.
For details on these settings, refer to the following sections.
The amount of time required by the encoding process will depend on the sample. You may need to wait a certain amount of time for encoding to be completed.

Selecting the Encoding Type
fig.04-21
You can choose from the following four types of encoding. Touch the appropriate button to select a type.
LITE
SOLO
BACKING
ENSEMBLE
This is the simplest encoding type. When you sample on the V-Synth GT, this type is selected by default. This type can be used with a variety of sounds, but to obtain the highest quality we recommend that you encode using one of the other types.
This is suitable for monophonic vocals or monophonic wind instruments (such as sax, trumpet, or flute). If you encode the sample using this type, you will be able to control the for-
mant (p. 112) and use the robot voice function (p. 99). Even if you encode using SOLO,
you can still play the sample polyphonically.
This is suitable for decay-type instruments. It is particularly suitable for phrases that include instruments with a clear attack (such as drums, percussion, and guitar chords).
This is suitable for sustain-type instruments. It is particularly suitable when there are smooth changes in tone (such as choir or strings).
• If the data is encoded using “BACKING” or “ENSEMBLE,” it will not be possible to use the formant control or robot voice functions.
• Once a sample has been encoded, editing that sample (except for some operations) will cause the encoded data to be discarded. If you then access the Sample Encode screen in this state, “LITE” will always be selected as the encoding type. Select the appropriate encoding type, and then re-encode the sample.
• Depending on the sample, encoding with “SOLO” may cause the sound to be different than you expect, such as changes in pitch being incorrect by one octave. If this occurs, re-encode the sample using “BACKING” or
“ENSEMBLE.”
• If a sample that contains large amounts of reverb or delay is encoded using “SOLO,” it may not sound as you expect. If this occurs, re-encode the sample using “BACKING” or “ENSEMBLE.”

Automatically Detecting Events
By specifying the Depth, you can automatically detect and “ ▼ ”mark locations where there is a strong attack (i.e., locations where the volume changes abruptly). Such marked locations are called events.

Parameter
Depth (Encode Depth)
Value
0–127
Description
In the Sample Encode screen, move the cursor to “Depth” and set the value.
The higher the value you set, the more events will be assigned.
If the Playback Mode (p. 99) is “STEP,” the sample will play to the next
event, and then stop each time you play the key. When the Playback Mode is set to “EVENT,” the sample will be divided at event locations, and assigned to each key.
• If you set Depth to a high value, a large number of events may be detected. If you encode in such a state, the interval between events will be too short, and the expected result will not be obtained when you play back in event units.
• If you change the location of an event after encoding, you must re-encode the sample. When you encode, the newly detected event locations will take effect.

In the Sample Encode screen, you can touch <PREVIEW> to play the sample from the current location until the next event.
By touching <PREVIEW>, you can play the sample to see whether events have been assigned to the locations that you expect.
Be aware that if you change the encode depth after deleting or adding events, the events that were modified manually will be discarded, and the events that were detected by depth will be displayed.
If you modify the location of events after encoding, you must re-encode. The modified location of the events will take effect when you encode.

Digital Output Frequency
Description
This adjusts the output gain from the V-Synth GT’s Analog Out and Digital
Out. When, for example, there are relatively few voices being sounded, boosting the output gain can let you attain the most suitable output level for recording and other purposes.
Set this to have the collective output of all sounds output from the MAIN OUT jacks. When you want to check the final overall sound being output, set to
MIX.
PARALLEL
44.1, 48, 96 kHz
Sounds output from the PHONES jack are the same as those output from the
MAIN OUT jacks. Therefore, any sounds set with Output Assign to be output from the DIRECT OUT jacks is not output from the PHONES jack. Be sure to have any sound you want to hear through the headphones set to
“MIX.”
Outputs according to each Output Assign settings.
Sets the sampling frequency of the digital output.
