I agree. Someone really earned their pay at Roland when they came up with an idea to save their investment in the variphrase technology. The V-synth, although it is somewhat "gritty" of a sounding synth, it holds a key that no other synth has as far as sounds and creations of new tones. In 5 minutes you can begin creating sounds that are absolutely out of this world which could be done otherwise with a whole bunch of other gear on a long and tedious setup. The v-synth makes this long grueling task immediate, hands-on, and even on the fly.
The V-synth can be heard on a San Diego based friend / producer bt's (work) "Never gonna come back down" - bt
MORPH!

PS: No, bt does not stand for bong toke. Although at times that sounds like it might be kind of nice.
It's his initials silly!(forBrianTranseau)but you didn't find that out from me.
