Modern Meets Vintage n/vision is a small yet mighty synthesizer that supercharges classic wavetable synthesis with advanced Roland technologies. This newly developed Roland Boutique instrument is a powerful platform for crafting rich sounds and evolving textures, offering hands-on control for immediate creative interaction and deep menu-driven tools for sophisticated sound design. Highlights Watch the Video View the Gallery What’s a Wavetable Synthesizer? While traditional synthesizers use basic sine, square, triangle, and sawtooth waveforms as the foundation for sound generation, wavetable synthesis employs sequences of single-cycle digital waveforms stored in a wavetable. The user can control how these waveforms are scanned and played, unlocking new timbres and dynamic sound generation possibilities not available with traditional synthesis methods. Sounds That Morph and Move Powered by Roland’s latest sound advancements and the evolving wavetable approach, n/vision allows players to build evocative textures using a tactile synthesizer workflow. Independently blend and shape two wavetable layers within upper and lower parts to create animated movement, evolving pads, aggressive leads, complex timbres, and more. Advanced Oscillator Modulation and Wave Shaping Multiple modulation sources can influence wavetable position, layer balance, pitch, and shaping parameters, enabling highly dynamic sound movement. Roland’s innovative wave shaper technology transforms incoming waveforms through nonlinear processing, generating new harmonics and unique textures that go beyond the capabilities of traditional wavetable synthesis. Rich Processing n/vision is loaded with processing options to elevate your sound design. Dial in a limitless range of tonal characters with a drive-enhanced analog-modeling filter and multiple filter models inspired by classic synthesizers. Then tap into an MFX engine with 17 effect types—including the famous JUNO chorus effect—plus dedicated delay and reverb. The reverb features a unique shimmer mode, allowing you to apply an octave-shifted color to the current reverb type. Advanced Sound Tools n/vision’s top-level interface supports immediate sound creation, but you can dive much deeper into menu-driven details if you want. Step LFO, oscillator modulation, motion recording, and extensive parameter control open powerful sound design capabilities for advanced users. Polyphonic Sequencer and Arpeggiator Create basslines, chords, and melodic sequences with a two-part, 64-step polyphonic sequencer that supports up to eight notes per step plus motion recording. An arpeggio function is also available for crafting dynamic rhythmic sounds on the fly. Compact Roland Boutique Design n/vision offers all the great design features of the Roland Boutique series, including a built-in speaker and flexible battery/USB-C power for music creation on the move. A K-25m keyboard dock is included, creating a standalone mini-instrument that’s ready to travel everywhere.
