Roland VP-550: Vocoding For The Novice At Summer NAMM 2007

July 31, 2007
Roland VP-550 Shows Off Simple, Affordable Vocoder Solution

Ever wanted to create a choir out of thin air? Does your place of worship have a tight budget and can't afford traditional instrumentation? The Roland VP-550 might be right up your alley. Gearwire got a good look at the VP-550 at Summer NAMM 2007 in Austin, Texas, and from all appearances, the keyboard was built with vocals and harmonizing vocals firmly in mind. Simply by droning words, the keyboard creates harmonies and chords based around your voice. Combined with the Sonic Cell, this keyboard allows you to expand the full range of your voice on the fly. You can even play Bohemian Rhapsody by yourself, if you like. Check out Gearwire's exclusive video from Summer NAMM 2007.
