Roland V-Synth Questions And More.

[Atomic Marshmallow]

Hello,

I am seriously thinking of trading in my Korg Triton Rack and Ensoniq DP4+ to buy the Roland V Synth Rack XT ( I love the sound by the way). Am I doing the right thing? I would get 650 euros for the Korg and 250 euros for the DP4+. I am happy enough to get what I was offered for the Korg, not so for the DP4+ (plus I realise that the unit is a classic-supposedly), but I rarely use it as I tend to use software effects. But, can Reaktor do what the V Synth can? If so, then maybe I shouldn't buy.

Any opinions?

Thanks

The V-Synth's sound is unique. I used to own one (sold to upgrade to a new computer) and the combination of tactile control plus amazing modeling and synthesis is just unbeatable. The routings are also flexible and there are tons of effects. You might be able to hack together stuff in Reaktor that does the same thing, but it would take forever. Might as well code a synth from scratch. And you still wouldn't get the physical control!
