Roland SPV-355 P/V Synth

“ROLAND SPV-355 VINTAGE ANALOG SYNTHESIZER AND PITCH TO VOLTAGE

EXCELLENT CONDITION RARE VINTAGE ROLAND SYNTH

THIS IS A PITCH TO VOLTAGE CONVERTER WITH BUILT-IN SYNTH.
I USE THIS AS A STAND ALONE SYNTHESIZER AND IT IS AWESOME AND POWERFUL.
IT HAS 2 VCO’S WITH TUNING, A SUB OSCILLATOR, CLASSIC ROLAND FILTER WITH CUTOFF AND RESONANCE, MASTER TUNING, 2 MIXERS (AUDIO AND VCO), ENVELOPE, ENVELOPE FOLLOWER, EFFECT SEND AND RETURN.
THIS THING CAN PRODUCE ANYTHING FROM CLASSIC ROLAND SH-101 ACID BASSLINES, TO POWER SYNTH LEADS AND STABS. THE 2 VCO’S AND SUB WORKING TOGETHER GIVE A FAT SOUND THAT’S BEYOND A TYPICAL MONO SYNTH.

THE SECOND MIXER IS USE TO MIX THE DIRECT INPUT WITH THE INTERNAL SYNTH. I USE A TRICK AND TAKE THE EFFECTS SEND OUT AND PLUG IT BACK INTO THE AUDIO INPUT AND USE THE SECOND MIXER TO MIX THE TWO FOR EVEN MORE OUTPUT.

IT CAN BE USED AS PITCH TO VOLTAGE WHERE YOU PLUG IN AN AUDIO SOURCE, GUITAR, MIC, DRUM MACHINE ETC… AND THE INTERNAL SYNTH WILL TRACK AGAINST IT. ”
