Puttin' On The Ritz (Taco's 1982 version) cover with Baloran's The River & the VC340 vocoder

Published on Sep 25, 2019 Sean Christopher Evoking Emotion with Synthesizers

"I've always LOVED this piece ever since I first heard it in 1982.

Taco Ockerse, known as Taco, is an Indonesian-born Dutch singer and entertainer who started his career in Germany. Taco released his first single, 'Puttin' On the Ritz' in 1982 and his version of the song also had pieces of other Irving Berlin songs.

The only synth used for this track was the mighty Baloran the River. The Behringer VC340 vocoder was used to get my wife's vocals into the piece. We also decided to put her 'normal' un-vocoded voice into the final 1/3 of the song to give it a more organic feel. NI's Maschine was used for the percussion and all tracks were recorded into and mixed/mastered with Cubase 10 Pro."

"This has been completely gone over by Dave Brown and works as should EXCEPT I didn't mount the reverb...a tank is included with the sale along with a card that is wired..you'll have to get the 2nd half to go into your mixer..it can be 1/4, tt, or xlr."

This appears to be a listing by Joshua Holley of Malekko. You can find more of his listings here. The r in Buchla models usually represents Roman Filippov of Black Corporation. Prior to Black Corporation he was making Buchla clones. You can find previous posts featuring the 227r in the archives. I believe this is the first post to feature an image of the 227r.

"Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter (rev 4) with included MPG-80 controller and manual. 16 VCO synth with desirable Rev 4 filter. Like an 8-voice Jupiter-6 with Aftertouch, patch stack, and velocity dynamics. Synth is in good shape, especially considering it's age. MPG shows some wear aesthetically, but newly cleaned faders and contacts so everything works like it should"
