Thanks, The vocoder is a Roland VP-7. Unfortunately they only made it for a short period of time a couple years ago and it was kind of expensive (I think around $700+/-) since it is only a vocoder and vocal harmonizer, it will also do some synth voice pads that can be played via midi. It is excellent sounding, though. The only negative I have found with it is that it will only apply its exceptional vocoder using the carrier sounds that are in the unit. Put another way, you cannot take an input from a particular sound source and use that as the sound (carrier) to process with the input from the microphone (modulator). I also have an Electro Harmonix V256 but that was not used in this video. I use that for the robot voice when playing Mr. Roboto in my Styx tribute band, Grand Allusion, as the VP-7 robot voice is not nearly as strong as it would be with a powerful sawtooth wave from a synthesizer. I use the Roland VP-7 for three part harmony on the intro of Mr. Roboto (a video of that can be seen at this address th-cam.com/video/kw-tBczoJlQ/w-d-xo.html) and it is also the vocoder I use for all of the other Styx vocoder parts (The Best of Times, A.D. 1928 which is the intro to Rockin' the Paradise and we sometimes end our shows with A.D. 1958).
Keith Wagner As Al Green would say “simply beautiful” is what that was: question, as an alternate to the vp7, would you recommend Roland jd-x1 or korg microkorg?
Bill, I have not played with any late model vocoders much after finding the VP7 and pairing it with Electro-Harmonix V256 so I am not familiar with the sounds of the vocoder in the Roland JD-X1 or any of the later model Korgs. I have played with a Kronos a few times just never messed with the vocoder. Behringer was working on a VP330 clone which, done well, would be an awesome vocoder. The VP7 is a little unique in its intent, however, in that it was also designed to be a harmonizer for a live vocal so the carriers in the VP7 are really good choirs. I suspect a late model vocoder with a high enough resolution (i.e. not just an 8 or 16 band vocoder from the 80's) when provided with a great carrier signal and the right microphone should do the job. The downside of the VP7, as I have mentioned before, is that it cannot accept a carrier signal from outside the unit to run through its spectacular vocoder. The Electro-Harmonix V256 has a "Bands" knob that will take the vocoder from 8 to 256 bands. I have not found a carrier source yet, though, in my rig that will compete with the quality and resolution of the VP7 if I want the vocoder to sound particularly human, as in this Bohemian Rhapsody Intro. I have the V256, though, because the VP7 is not so great at sounding like the old vocoders from the 80's and you cannot add a really nasty distorted sawtooth synth as a carrier which makes for a great robot voice. So the V256 is in my rig to do the vocoder sounding vocoders and the VP7 is there to do more human voice sounding vocoding. I have just looked at a couple of TH-cam demos for the JD-X1 and the Microkorg. I think, being a Roland product, the JD-X1 seems a bit closer to the VP7 but that may just simply be because Roland had access to patches and/or choir sounds that would be most similar to those in the VP7. I liked both demos that I watched. The Microkorg was able to get some pretty nasty/dirty vocoder sounds with some noise added to the carrier. I haven't seen anyone do that in the demos I watched of the JD-X1. My vocoders were purchased with a specific function in mind when I acquired them. So really, for me, it comes down to trying out the different vocoders to see their sound and character and figuring out which works for what you are trying to do. Like synthesizers, every vocoder I have every played with, both software (i.e. vst) and hardware based, has its own sound. While that sound can vary based on the combinations of carriers (source sounds to be shaped by the vocoder like the choir patch in this video) and modulators (my voice through an Audix I5 in this video), each vocoder tends to have its own unique sound. I just keep trying until I find what I like, hence the reason I have several vocoders. I have three hardware based and at least a few software (vst) based vocoders. The other hardware vocoder is a PAIA Vocoder that I built from a kit in the 80's. I don't use the VST vocoders any more because the Roland VP7 and the Electro-Harmonix V256 in combination give me everything I have needed to do with vocoders, especially with my Styx Tribute Band, Grand Allusion. The software/vst based vocoders have some latency and turn out lower resolution than I prefer in some case, though they are running on Muse Receptors, Rev 1C machines, which means that there are certainly some better, later model software vocoders. The hardware vocoders just always sound better to me.
The Vocoder is a Roland VP-7 (desktop module) that is being midi controlled by a Kurzweil PC3X and the intro is played on the Kurzweil with only midi sending to the VP-7 then I press a pedal which unmutes the piano on the Kurzweil.
Sorry for the delay, the vocoder used was a Roland VP7, if you look through some of the prior comments and my responses you will see a more comprehensive response.
The keyboard I am playing in this video is a Kurzweil PC3X with the Studio Piano program as a layer in a setup that I can mute and unmute with a pedal and then another layer in the setup is a midi only layer to transmit notes that I am playing with my right hand only to my Roland VP7 vocoder which is listening to/responding to midi channel 1. Above the Kurzweil PC3X in this video is a Novation SL MkII that is not used in the video or on this song.
I have an Electro Harmonix V256 vocoder pedal that is what I use for the robot voice when my Styx Tribute Band, Grand Allusion, plays Mr. Roboto and it does not have keys nor does it require Midi to operate, though I believe it has a Midi In for those that want to control it via Midi. You can find a number of video demos of the V256 on TH-cam also.

!!!🔥PERFECT🔥!!!
Awesome!
best one by far!
love it!
That was amazing!
Beautiful
Nicely done!
Wow... must have a go at that!
What voice/patch is the vocoder using that it sounds so much better/realistic than most vocoders?
The Roland VP-7 is set on Vocoder with Kid's Choir
@@keithwagner1512 WOW 😳
nice bro
So good Keith, sounds great! I have a question if you don't mind. What is the setting on the VP-7, female choir..Trio 1, Kids choir etc ?

Oh, and Thanks!
@@keithwagner1512 Your very welcome Keith

Keith Wagner Is there any vocoder or processer of voice that u recommend to play without keys/midi?
