You don't see these too often. This was the beginning of Roland's Variphrase vocal synthesis technology. When it first came out there it was a significant release as it introduced a new method of synthesis, however if I remember correctly there were various issues or bugs with the unit. I forget what they were and if they were resolved. If you know feel free to chime in. The technology next made an appearance in Roland's VariOS rackmount module which was meant to be a chameleon of sorts. You could load different engines in it including a Roland Jupiter-8 emulation, but rather than host all engines at the same time, it would turn into whatever you had loaded.
