"original and rare, vintage 1979 Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus Synthesizer. This synth is responsible for the legendary sound heard on so many classic records, from Phil Collins 'in the air tonight' , 'Mr blue sky' by ELO to New order 'blue monday' and many more, 'blade runner' soundtrack by Vangelis and of course Kraftwerk. The vocoder section, for me, is the best ever made. Then you have the greatest sounding analogue string synth ever, together with the incredible analogue human voice section. Add in the Roland stereo Chorus Ensemble section and you have one of the most beautiful sounding analogue synthesizers Roland ever built. It's crazy good...The vocoder also has an external input so you can feed anything into it such as a drum machine for example. Estimates vary about how many were of these were made. 1500-2000 seems the popular number quoted. Very rare Euro power 220/240 volt version. This is the MKI version."
