Update: Re-Published on Dec 14, 2016

"We just received the all new all analog drum machine from Arturia - The DrumBrute.

We thought we'd give you a listen to the individual sounds and how you can tweak them. We play each sound in sequence, from the kick no. 1 to the zap and change the associated parameter knobs to give you an idea of how it sounds in it's absolutely raw state.

We also create a basic sequence on the fly to give you an idea how quickly it is to write a beat."

"This video is a short tutorial on the Roland Boutique VP-03 Vocoder Synthesizer.

0:18 Strings
0:40 Human Voice
1:15 Vocoder
1:41 Balance (Mixing Instruments Together)
1:57 Step Sequencer
2:27 Voice Recording in Sequencer
2:41 Chord Memory
3:01 Pitch Shift
3:33 MIDI Sync with TR-09


The VP-03 is a miniature version of the VP-330 Vocoder Plus, one of the most popular vocoders ever made. Part of the Roland Boutique series, the VP-03 brings together the worlds of synthesized sound and the human voice, using the latest ACB technology to accurately emulate the sound that made the original so influential.

The VP-03 has the VP-330’s vocoder, human voice, and strings sound sources on board, and comes with a gooseneck microphone. And when paired with the optional K-25m Keyboard Unit, you’ve got the authentic VP-330 vibe in a reliable, low-cost setup that’s highly portable.

There are new features too, including 16 Chord Memory setups and a Voice Step Sequencer for even more creative potential. Whether you want the classic, electro-infused “talking robot” sound or the expressive power of shaping synth sounds with the human voice, the VP-03 puts it all at your fingertips."
