Dear V-Synth tweakers,

I am excited to unveil a new publication, the V-Synth TweakBook - a groundbreaking sound design book for Roland V-Synth and V-Synth XT synthesizers. Combining both in-depth explanations and tutorials, as well as gorgeous look and logical layout, it will be a great experience for both beginning and hardcode V-Synth users.

Featured educational material is divided into several sections and contains articles each of which describes both the underlying concepts and possible usage of certain synthesis blocks and technologies. The book is provided with sound structure diagrams and other graphics, as well as example patches and demo audio recordings. A special map for easy parameter location is also provided for V-Synth newbies.

V-Synth TweakBook is a very deep knowledge resource for those who want to take their sound design skills to a new level and learn how to use the V-Synth’s range of building elements both alone and in various simple or complex combinations.

"Preview" version is available for free with four great select articles and Parameter Tweak Map:

Full version includes 3 sections with 12 articles, more info and sound demo available here:

Sincerely,

Artemiy.

Woohoo!

I'm so happy you have finished this project! Already ordered and downloaded. I can't wait to play with it tomorrow!

Thanks Artemio!

Actually I didn't "finish" it in the sense there will be more material being added once in a while. So stay tuned ;-)

Woohoo indeed!
I 'ordered' immediately the download version via Paypal. Payment is done... but now? How do I download it?

What did I miss ? :D

Hermax, we have a delivery robot but it's not completely working (development is in progress). So far delivery is done by a humanoid which is also writing this message to you ;-)

And a fast R2D2 it is.
Already downloaded!
Thanks! I know what to do these evenings, my wife just left for three days for work. It's an ideal timing!

Hello

How many pages does this Tweakbook have?

About 25 pages. We plan extending it in future with more articles which will be free to all current and previous owners.

"How many pages does this Tweakbook have? - Guido"

Some interesting shared techniques, well worth the read and the money spent.

Thanks filosofem, I am very glad to hear this.

Indeed well worth the money spent!
I'm not completely through it yet, but so far I've learned some interesting things. Basically, this book explains the features in a far better way than any other manual. In those 'standard' editions, one always reads things like "you can do this and you can do that' but when I start to experiment with it, I always seem to 'miss' important edits to be made.
For example, until now I never used the Ring mudulator. Why not? Well, because I did not get it to work... so I moved on with other tweakings. (note that the V-synth is only my second real synth that I bought, the first being a Juno106, 20 years ago)
Why didn't I get it to work? Well, you need to set the 'Original' parameter to zero but there is never any word on that in the normal manuals. And with an initialized 'clean' new patch, this parameter always shows maximum. Okay, you can say that I'm stupid not to see that myself, but there are so many tweakable things and I have so little time to spend behind the synths that I just say "Well, I'll try this feature out later when I have more time to play around!" Of course, this last phrase keeps repeated over and over again. :)
So, for me, that's the force of this tweakbook. The block diagrams with the required settings for the patches. They show exactly what I need to know for that given feature.
So again, thanks Artemio!

Ow yes, Artemio, there is a little error on the Ring modulator page: just above the block diagram you mention "28 Trance Wave", but there is no such patch. 28 is (as you mention a little higher) Digi Bell.

Hermax:

Thank you very much, it is my pleasure to hear the book is useful to you! I tried to find a good balance between telling how the synthesis blocks work and giving some ideas regarding how they can be used. I guess it worked ;-)

And thanks for that error note, I'll look into it.

Artemio, any word on the printed version release date?
