Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

After all these years I know a good thing when I see/hear it. After reading
about the V-Synth, I felt it a winner. The day I spent 20 minutes with one,
the first day it came in the store (I was tracking the store) I bought it
despite its high price tag and at least a thousand dollars more on a single
piece of gear that I have ever spent! So far I have been liking it a lot and
although every synth has a few things one would like better, I have felt
that I made a good choice for me and also objectively.

SOS just released their review and it is probably one of the lengthiest
(there is a lot in the V-Synth) and most positive reviews I have read in a
long time. A couple of snippets from SOS's Paul Nagle:

"The V-Synth is a heavyweight performer and priced accordingly. That it has
such a wealth of sound sources and processors is great, but it is Variphrase
technology, housed in the body of a responsive musical instrument, that
makes it so exciting. The sum of the parts adds up to the most
groundbreaking Roland synth in years."

"I almost don't want to tell anyone about the V-Synth, because it's the
first instrument in years that promises a genuine edge over the
competition."

"With Roland's best technologies of recent years on board, this synth
demands to be programmed and performed with. Quite simply, it's a sound
designer's dream machine."

It seems I have been on the same page as Paul for some time in terms of what
I like in gear.
