What's a Wavetable Synthesizer?

Traditional synthesizers typically use basic sine, square, triangle, and sawtooth waveforms as the foundation for sound generation. Wavetable synthesis uses sequences of single-cycle digital waveforms stored in a wavetable. By scanning and manipulating these waveforms, you can unlock new timbres, evolving textures, and dynamic sounds that go beyond conventional synthesis.

Sounds That Morph and Move

Powered by Roland's latest sound technologies and an evolving wavetable approach, the n/vision lets you create evocative textures through a tactile synthesizer workflow. Independently blend and shape two wavetable layers within the upper and lower parts to build animated movement, evolving pads, aggressive leads, complex timbres, and much 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 distinctive textures beyond traditional wavetable synthesis.

Rich Processing

Shape your sound with a drive-enhanced analogue-modelling filter and multiple filter models inspired by classic synthesizers. The MFX engine offers 17 effect types, including the iconic JUNO chorus, while dedicated delay and reverb add depth and atmosphere. The reverb's unique shimmer mode introduces an octave-shifted character to your chosen reverb type.

Advanced Sound Tools

The intuitive top-level interface makes immediate sound creation easy, while deeper menu-driven controls provide extensive sound-design options. Step LFO, oscillator modulation, motion recording, and detailed parameter control give experienced users plenty of scope for experimentation.

Polyphonic Sequencer and Arpeggiator

Create basslines, chords, and melodic sequences with the two-part, 64-step polyphonic sequencer. Supporting up to eight notes per step and motion recording, it opens up expressive sequencing possibilities. The arpeggiator adds dynamic rhythmic patterns and melodic movement on the fly.

Compact Roland Boutique Design

Designed for music creation wherever inspiration strikes, the n/vision combines a compact footprint with a built-in speaker and flexible battery or USB-C power. The included K-25m keyboard dock transforms it into a standalone mini instrument, ready for desktop sessions, studio setups, and travel.
