ROLAND VP330 VOCODER PLUS

Click here for shots via this auction.

Details:
"One of the coolest instruments out there. The vocoder shapes its envelope and filters by any sound source fed into it, your voice or even a drum loop can be used which is then applied to another sound source, typically a synth pad. This creates a very unique and famous robot-like sound.

Aside from the 10-band vocoder, the VP-330 added a string synth section, choir and a human-voice sound, both of which are quite excellent themselves. Its 3 sound sections offer a few different presets that can be slightly edited with de-tuning and vibrato. The VP-330 is one of the best Vocoder synths ever and although there are many other types of Vocoders, none sound as good as this!"

Dave's Studio

Dave of umop and our favorite synth comic strip, The Packrat, sent me this shot of his new studio. I asked him if I could put up a post and he gave me the thumbs up. You can see other content Dave has contributed to Matrixsynth including synth videos, in these previous posts. BTW, be sure to check out PONG, Dave's retro band.

Update via Dave: "I actually only have one more show with Pong, on Thursday the 24th at Rookies in Cromwell, CT. I'd love to meet feelow synth nerds who happen to be in the area."

Howard Jones Retro set

"If you enjoy live synth music then goto http://www.howardjones.com/hojo.html and buy his 20th Anniversery Concert Live at the Shepherds Bush Empire"

Anyone know if these are one off shows showcasing his vintage gear or did/is he actually taking them on a full tour? Would be cool if he started using them for all of his shows.
