It is a sample playback synth sort-of. It has an analogue modeling section (but I wouldn't be touching that part). It's more along the lines of a sampler that you can completely mangle samples on the fly.

I wouldn't say this would be one for the DJ's either (as 303 said). It's more for people who want to engineer sounds that haven't been heard before. It would only come alive when using your own samples I think.

http://www.roland.com/V-Synth/VideoDemo/index.html Go here to watch some videos (try to imagine what this would do to your own samples though).

There is software that can do similar things to the V-synth, but being able to do it so quickly and expresively is great I rekon. I'll be getting one, it's only a matter of when.
