Re: Why the V-Synth is the best thing Roland ever did
That should probaly work. If you have a pcmcia slot on your pc, you won't need the extra adapter either.

Re: Why the V-Synth is the best thing Roland ever did
no i don't have it, but i thought to buy one of these because of the many possibilities of reading different cards (also smartmedia or sd)...

Nice on paper and good user interface, but I never liked the sound of my GT. Sold it pretty quickly.
Do the earlier models sound any different from the GT?

As a VA the GT has some issues such as aliasing, but nothing touches what it can do as a sampler, and as an effects processor it is outstanding. And the D50 mode sounds warmer IMO than the original when the D50 DAC emulation is disabled.

Why do you guys need the USB drivers? Get a PC card reader and you're done...

Re: Why the V-Synth is the best thing Roland ever did
I have never owned a V-Synth personally, but I have had the chance to play with one on a couple of occasions. I'll admit that I didn't get extremely deep into it, but the impression that I received is that the whole unit has a particular 'sound' to it that I couldn't escape from. No matter what I did / edited / programmed, the V-Synth (to me) sounded very 'colorless' and 'two-dimensional' to me. It also seemed a bit shrill or resonant, kinda metallic in a way... if that makes any sense. The build quality and interface is fantastic, but I could not get over the weird character of the sound. Some of the FX were nice, but a lot of them exacerbated the already odd / flat character of the V-Synth sound. It is a beautiful instrument capable of a lot of exploration and sound design, but you have to be a fan of the sound of these units to fully appreciate them... and I'm not a fan. It is the opposite of "lush," "fat,", "silky," and all of the other cliche terms used to describe sounds that I like.

The librarian is a program for managing your patches. I've never actually used it myself, but as I understand it allows you to mix and match pateches from different project files.ellaguru wrote:hi Hugo, i didn't use it still, for now i used the usb storage and works ok.Hugo76 wrote:Really?
