Roland SVC-350 Vocoder Info-Sheet

follow-up to this post. via robovoice on the forum. No vid, just sound.

"The Roland SVC-350 Vocoder is the first truly sophisticated vocoder to be priced within range of most musicians. The primary function of the Roland SVC-350 Vocoder is to analyze the spoken or sung human voice and use this information (or program) to trigger another musical signal (or carrier) giving the instrument the ability to 'speak' or 'sing'. This vocal synthesis is accomplished by processing the voice through a series of eleven 'Voice Character' analysis filters. All of the filters within the 'Voice Character Control' are active and control an envelope follower which reacts according to the volume of that individual frequency. This information is then used to shape those frequencies of the carrier (musical instrument) signal.

The Roland SVC-350 Vocoder uses ten filters for vowel sounds and there is also an extra filter with an extremely high slew rate allowing it to respond to the rapid transients of hard consonants, like the 'T' in the word 'today'. This consonant filter is a feature not found even on higher priced vocoders. The Roland SVC-350 Vocoder allows for both balanced and unbalanced program inputs and outputs and contains a special guitar input that permits attenuation of the guitar harmonics. Another remarkable feature of the Roland SVC-350 Vocoder is a special 'Hold' feature that locks onto the vowel sound quality so that one vowel sound does not have to be continually repeated while you play your instrument. With other features like the 'Ensemble' effect, head 'Phone' output, as well as guitar amp and line outputs...the Roland SVC-350 Vocoder is truly the next step in musical instrument effects.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Microphone Input (program): 1/4 phone jack or XLR connector 600 ohms -54 dBms min.
Instrument Input (carrier): 1/4 phone jack 100 k ohms guitar raw level
Guitar Amp Output: 1/4 phone jack 5 k ohms
Mono/Stereo Output: 1/4 phone jacks
Dimensions: 19(W)x 3.6(H) x 9.7(D) in."
