Thanks Sarmad. Roland did a great job, especially with the build quality. I just don't think it's the correct value for money.

One thing I always look for in a vocoder is the ability to cross-patch between the various carrier and modulator channels, instead of having the pre-patched in the expected order. It greatly expands their usefulness for sound design, but hardly any offer this.

I LOVE YOU DAWG. I was about to spend those 350.

I agree....:its actually better than two other software vocoders I payed money for, not even close really. I’ve thought hard about the VP-03, but I’m gonna wait until the Waldorf STVC comes out. I’ve been wanting a Streichfett, and the addition of a vocoder, and that lovely Blofeld keybed might be a winner for me. At the same time, the demo Behringer released of their vocoder sounded almost exactly the same as the original VP-300.....it supposed to be $800-1000, not sure I can do that for phased out strings, but the vocoder does sound outstanding.

Unfortunately, I am in the process of moving, so I have yet to try the vocoder out on the JP-8080 (I finally just got one, I've wanted one for about 18 years).

How many vocoders let you input your own carrier signal, rather than only the modulator? Anything current?

Got this weird problem that vocoder and human voice only work when ensemble (chorus) is enabled. Am I overlooking something? Just figured the OUT only does this, on phones I get results as aspected.

It's a very limited box, a one-trick pony even, but I think it does its trick pretty well. I bought mine because of those strings and human voice sounds, which are a staple to get that classic Vangelis vibe, and with the proper effects and mixing, it sounds beautiful. The addition of midi is a huge plus for live performance as well. Another bonus is the USB connectivity, which adds the possibility of connecting a carrier signal, which isn't as versatile as having a physical input but is good to know its there. A final recommendation is to use a different mic other than the included in the box, which has a lousy sound quality.

Does anyone happen to know if the VP-03 vocoder is the same as the one in the Roland VP-9000?

@kvmoore1

2 жыл бұрын

Unlike the VP-03, the VP9000 is not a vocoder. It is a sampler that has realtime pitch shifting, timestretching, and formant manipulation of samples. Yes, you could play a vocal sample back as a harmony or chord through a connected midi keyboard to make a single vocal sample sound like a choir, but the VP9000 does not work like a vocoder. Also, the sample has to be processed (encoded) before it can be played back on the keyboard in realtime. Now Roland's later Variphrase machines, such as the VP550, VP770, VP-7, and the V-Synth or Jupiter X with the Vocal Designer functionality, are in-fact vocoders. Your voice is processed in realtime as you speak directly into the microphone while playing notes on the keyboard simultaneously. The VP-03 was designed to emulate the classic Roland VP330 synth/vocoder. A similar clone that is analog and much closer to the original VP330 is the Behringer VC340. I used to own a VP9000 and currently own a VC340. I hope this helps to answer your question.

you think the VP-01 would a good choice for those who wanna learn how to do 80s synth wave stuff, modern-funk or even new wave? if not do you have any recommendations?
