<r>"Someone else on the Korg forums mentioned that his friends can't tell the difference between the "classic" patches from the Virus from a real Moog, Oberheim, or whatever. I agree, those "classic" Virus patches are truly impressive."<br/> <br/> Hmmm - why Im I not surprised by this?<br/> <br/> Wh...

<r>I cant say that I have ever though of the V-Synths VA, or the SH-201 as an 'analog modeling' synth - Im not even sure that it really tries to be beyond having the same kind of bits that are common to most subtractive synths.<br/> <br/> Its a digital synth that makes no prententions of being anyth...

<t>Is your v-synth set to send a midi clock, whereas the D50 mode isnt and is the TI set to sync with external midi?<br/> <br/> I personally think the TI with current OS is very sensitive to the stability of the midi clock.<br/> <br/> Actually so is the V-synth, but it manifests itself differently a...

What a bizarre request in the context of a v-synth...

<t>For some reason my v-synth keeps getting stuck in OMNI ON for no obvious reason. I cant even find any trace of another MIDI device sending this message to it.<br/> <br/> Power cycling the v-synth wont fix it - the only fix seems to be a factory reset - very annoying.<br/> <br/> V-Synth is running...

<r>I thought the 201 was just a severely crippled v-synth va engine?<br/> <br/> Basically take the v-snths VA, loose the per block envelopea and LFO and other useful stuff, strip the mod options to the minimum, keep the oscilator types (ext and va) and away up go <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> Actually - the ...

+1 for rex files import

<r>Best way to get a perfect since wave was allways via self resonating filters - very rare in the new digital world.<br/> <br/> Though my Virus TI can do it using the analogue emulation filters <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> <br/> DodgingRain: whats you idea of a correct saw? Linear or Exponential? There are...

The only benefit would be getting more of the info on screen at the same time.

But as others have said - V-Synth is so damn good anyway...

ultraharmonizer - good choice - Im told it takes ages to tweak and tune mail order brides to squeak in sync and in tune, though good for sound fx.

Arps can be kind of problematic with them, and they seem to turn a funny color whenn you plug them into the mains.

I have just had a response back from Roland support in the UK:

"Thank you for your e-mail
All outputs on the V-Synth are unbalanced.
Best regards"

<r>I tried some test with different cables (balanced and unbalanced), switching cables, channels at both ends etc and using a prepared mono sounding patch with no fx.<br/> <br/> About the only conclusion that I could come to was the highest signal level (marginally) comes from the high quality plane...

<r>Hmm - I allways assumed they were unbalanced. It would be great news if they are balanced.<br/> <br/> I have emailed roland support in the UK to try and get a definitive answer from the them concerning main outs, direct out and inputs.<br/> <br/> Why cant synth manufacturers follow the lead of mo...

Where did you find that out? Didnt see it in the specs...?

And that is for the V-Synth and not the XT?

Look in the data lists for each parameter in the v-synth manual, it should tell you specifically how each is mapped for the specific paarameter type. That looks like a generic comment to describe in general how multi-byte mappings are done. Cubase SX does provide a mechanism for masking and splittin...
