Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus (part 1)

synth demo by RetroSound The Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus Mk2 (part 1) I play the strings and the human voice section of the VP-330 Vocoder Plus Mk2. The sounds reminds of the Bladerunner Soundtrack by Vangelis. more info: http://www.retrosound.de and http://www.myspace.com/retroso... Sorry for the bad sound quality of my simple cam ;-) The Vocoder Plus contains three tone-generating sections: Vocoder, Human Voice and Strings, which may be independently assigned to cover the whole keyboard, or either the upper or lower half. The String section produces orchestral string sounds that are silky and warm feeling, and most importantly, consistent throughout the entire length of the keyboard. The Tone and Attack Time of the String section can be controlled inependently, and the Release Time is hared with the two other sections. The Human Voice section literally defies description with its uncanny resemblance to a chorus of human voices. The upper half of the keyboard contains one female and one male chorus, while the lower half contains two male choruses. There is also an ensemble effect which increases the dimension of the vocal chorus. The Vocoder section, like our rack-mounting Vocoder (SVC-350), processes the spoken or sung human voice (program), analyzing its character and using this information to modify another musical signal (carrier). The Vocoder section uses ten analysis filters for vowel sounds, and there is also an additional filter that is used for consonants. The Vocoder section uses as a carrier signal the combined components of the Human Voice and String section (Roland Info Sheet 1979).

Both synths and vocoders are MUCH BETTER analog!!! Vocoders are BEST pure analog, while synths can also be all-analog or a combo. Synths are better with DCO's (digital-controlled oscillators) than VCO's (voltage-controlled oscillators) as DCO's are more steady and stable, while VCO's tend to drift in-and-out and cause the keyboard to go off-tune more often than a DCO keyboard would. Everything else is BETTER digital!!

This synth is amazing. Just listen to the Blade Runner soundtrack by Vangelis and listen to just how AMAZING this synth is! I want this synth. Can't find it anywhere. :(

Some synths ARE still analogue; Check out MFB, the Evolvers, etc. Also, you can still buy the olds ones, you know. The market is actually best now because so many people are happy with their MicroKorgs so we can buy up everything else. Also, this is probably one my favorite synths ever. Vocode everything.

I wish synths were still analogue ,the new ones just dont sound the same :( ,analogue were way better than digital
