Chemical Brothers

"the V SYNTH XT IS A GREAT SOUNDING, VERSATILE SYNTH THATS RELATIVELY EASY TO USE AND GUARANTEED TO INSPIRE!"

The Chemical Brothers are one of the most enduring and popular acts to come out of the electronic scene. There from the beginning, their music has become both influential and essential for anyone with an interest in dance music. The Chemical Brothers have kept ahead of the rest by staying true to their beliefs yet constantly innovating - collaborations, quirky musical diversions and an uncompromising ability to merge commercial success with underground credibility. These elements combine effortlessly and happily co-exist together - the result is never conventional, always fresh and totally rewarding.
After many years at the top, the Chemical Brothers show no signs of slowing down. World tours, DJ dates, remixes, albums and constant studio sessions - their recent work is introducing them to a whole new audience who weren't even born when the guys first started making music together in the early 90's. Still at the top, but more importantly, still sounding spectacular - long may their reign continue.

Richard Barbieri

"Programming synthesisers has been the most important feature of my musical career. Discovering new sounds and new ways to enhance my , and other artists work, has proved to be the most enjoyable aspect of being a musician.
The V Synth and XT rack offer some of the most creative synthesis possibilities I have ever experienced. With so many modulation controllers , the Time Trip Pad and D Beam features , it has become a real performance synth and the vocal and D50 cards add even more sonic possibilities.
Although inside it's technology at it's most innovative, the look and feel of the synths are a return to the classic designs of the seventies.
A modern classic "

Famous for his stylish, synthetic contributions to the band Japan (circa 1970-80), Richard Barbieri has remained at the forefront of progressive music as a member of Porcupine Tree, as a contributor to numerous cutting-edge albums, and as a globally acclaimed producer and sound designer. Roland’s V-Synth proved to be the perfect vehicle for Barbieri’s sophisticated brand of music creation.

BT

He’s known around the world the “Father of Trance,” but Brian Transeau (BT) is no one-trick pony. Whether he’s writing for 80-piece orchestras (for films such as The Fast and the Furious), collaborating with mega-stars like Sting, or creating epic remixes for Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Madonna, or Seal, BT consistently balances creative and memorable songwriting, sonic innovation, and the latest technology for a cutting-edge, yet organic sound.

Keith Hillebrandt

The pop music history books will show Keith Hillebrandt as an ace programmer/remixer who helped sharpen the edge of Nine Inch Nails, U2, David Bowie, Magdalene's Dream, and Puff Daddy. Music Industry insiders might recall Keith's work with such companies as Otari, WaveFrame, and Opcode, or for his cutting-edge Arhythmia, Poke in the Ear, and Useful Noise-series sound libraries. His debut CD, Blue, is now in stores.

Hideki Matsutake (a.k.a. Logic System)

“Have you ever played a synth that can evolve every day? Create the sounds of the future with the V-Synth.”

Hideki Matsutake’s interest in electronic music and sound creation was ignited when he first heard Switched On Bach by Wendy Carlos in 1970. In 1972, and at just 20 years of age, he became a staff member at Isao Tomita’s studio and experienced music creation via a Moog Modular synthesizer—one of the few in Japan at the time. Just two years later he became an independent producer and in 1978 began using an early digital sequencer. This led to an opportunity to work as the sound programmer for the Yellow Magic Orchestra. It was this experience that was the impetus for him to start his own project, Logic System, making 10 albums and still producing more. Hideki Matsutake is today not only active with his own music activities but also making content and developing new technologies for mobile and network environments.

Heigo Tani

“I have never seen a synth that makes creating sounds as fun. The V-Synth takes the user interface, sound quality and raw synthesis capabilities to the max!”

Heigo Tani began his life as a DJ in 1985 and has since released several recordings as a member of Co-Fusion, a musical duo with DJ Wada. In June 2005, he covered Crystal Waters’ hit record “Gypsy Woman” under the name Wall5from Reel musiq, and in July he released a track called “HOT! HOT!” under the Co-Fusion moniker for Norman Cook’s (a.k.a. Fat Boy Slim) Southern Fried Records. He has since released several tracks on Josh Wink’s prestigious Ovum Recordings label.
