Well I won't lie, I'm quite jealous of his equipment, seeing all his keyboards because I cant have one, at the same time he is one of the best musicians out there.
Hey Claudio !!! Been looking for this baby for ages... I have quite a few vocoders and vocal processing units like voice live, but the VP550 is the king. I've heard a guy play it live, combining VP gospel preset and voice live 3X harmonies at the same time... the result was mindblowing... You lucky bastard !!!!! ;)
You are so much fun to watch. Put a huge smile on my face and we all need something to smile about. That thing sounds amazing. Now I want one too. Thanks Dr. Mix.
There's always the TC Helicon Voicelive Hooked up to a midi keyboard if you don't have one of these. Though it doesn't come with the positive magic vibes Dr. Mix puts through it. :)
John Effinger - Pound for pound the VoiceLive range would eat this alive with a wider range of classic sounds. But then OVox would step up and slaughter both.
This is the first I've heard of this instrument. I love that sound! I own two hardware vocoders and a software one, but have never used any of them. But I would use this if I owned one.
I used to sell these at Rock Palace, the Hague. My killer demo was doing the intro of Bohemian Rhapsody. Try it, it’s pretty easy and sounds amazing! I still own a VP7 module, so I’m covered 😎
Oh, have mercy, Dr. Mix, I've just bought the Nord Lead 4 I've dreamt about for the last 15 years. ;D Now I want also this vocoder synth for the harmonies it has. :]
Hi there, Congratulations. As musical production technician and electronic engineer...I can say to you....you are simple a genius!!!! Continue that way. Do the riff reviews, sound reconstruction, songs reconstruction...so amazing your channel, I found you since a few weeks...I can't stop watching. Thanks a lot , regards from Argentina
Great video! I honestly think someone could be having the worst possible day, watch one of your videos, and have the cloud of despair lifted from their soul. Thanks for the positivity man!
My brother got a VP-550 and is amazing, he also have a Korg Microkorg and we compare both Vocoder sounds and defenetly the Roland is the winner but for more raw sound the Microkorg is perfect. My only Synth with Vocoder is a Novation Ultranova. Enjoy your new toy Claudio, the collection is growing, you will need a bigger place soon.
My friend got one brand new when they came out. I should’ve bought it off him when he stopped using it. It was AWESOME!!! I want one now, as well as a VP-770.
Oh My my god , great demo Dr ! , Made me smile. What a great piece of equipment. I never realised just how good it was, thanks for sharing it with us. Love all your vids. Keep up the great work. Dave C (ANDROMEDA) from the UK.
I have the VP-500 and it is the only vocoder I use. Some of my other synths have a vocoder but the VP-550 makes a nice dedicated Vocoder with Keyboard.
Sounds really crisp and right there! No doubt you can modify the tones deeply if the menus are anything like their Grooveboxes :) Great vid dude, love the enthusiasm always xx
Besides the amazing sounding.. what blew my mind was.. despite rare, old.. it was SoLight weight!!!! Not for a kind pf vintage gear no way! Txs for sharing.
Before I clicked the video I KNEW I was going to make a Covid-19/GAS/Boredom/Online shopping comment... Dr Mix is not only an amazing musician but a psychic too!
I think this is the first time I saw a glimpse of your power strip situation! I was half expected to see a automatic fire extinguisher setup in the ceiling over the power strip with several tanks of potassium bicarbonate. I bought a new toy yesterday, The Yamaha WX11 and the BT7 midi adapter.
Like a kid in a candy store. Amazing, as always - not just the talent, but the huge range of instruments at your disposal. Doctor Mix, HOW do you choose which to use when making music? I'm no expert, but every instrument reminds me of some classic tune and I would get paralysed just by trying to decide what is appropriate for a new composition. It kinda turns upside down the genesis of a lot of 'classic' tunes where the composer was simply working with whatever they had at the time and it just happened to come out as magic - instead here you know in advance what magic can be created, but then have to choose which variety of magic you want! Blows my mind just thinking about it.
You get as excited as a kid on Christmas day, it's so wholesome.
Never heard of that VP-550. I didn't believe you at first but you were right. Mind blowing. Excellent instrument.
This is the ultimate VP550 video: th-cam.com/video/RBG8T2f3uBE/w-d-xo.html
This has Enya written all over it....
Back in the days they made such amazing equipment.
Also O Superman
The VP550 is from 2007.
@@watercolourmark i mean the sound it produces, not this particular instrument as a model from in this case Roland.
Yes it did give off that Enya vibe.
@@watercolourmark 2007 is well way back in a day already ;)
Unreal, it really sounds like a full choir and you play it so well on the fly right out of the box.
Expensive rare vintage gear: *Exists*
Wallet: noo not again...
Dr. Mix: *Laughs in Vocoder sound*
lmao
well played ;)
4:13
5:45 When Dr. Mix is happy, the whole world is happy!!! This is a very fun and inspiring video. Thanks.
What a missed opportunity to play the lion king in the jungle song! Was waiting till the end for it!
Ikutaro is smiling up in his heaven when he sees you playing around with his amazing vocoder. 😊 ❤️
One of the best videos you’ve done in a while... I’d forgotten how cool this Roland sounds! Bravo sir... bravo. 😉 🎹 💕
Well I won't lie, I'm quite jealous of his equipment, seeing all his keyboards because I cant have one, at the same time he is one of the best musicians out there.
Probably more envy than jealousy

I'd never heard of the VP-550. What a totally incredible machine.
this is the ultimate VP550 video: th-cam.com/video/RBG8T2f3uBE/w-d-xo.html
I’ve wanted this since it came out
Hey Dr. Mix, at the end of the video i smiled and claped my hands. Have fun with your new tool.
Came here for Doctor Mix, got a full 2m30s vintage ad for Slap Chop right up front. This channel delivers.
I feel bad that I commented before I watched the video. I really enjoyed that demo. It isn't what I would do with a vocoder, it was a lot better.
thanks to this video, i searched and found one. just got a vp-550. BEAUTIFUL. ! dr. mix ... you are the best.! thank you very much.
It washed al my worries away.. Its incredible the way that these sounds can achieve things like that.
I love that he adds in the kinda chaotic set up. Everyone goes through it but no one ever shows it
Your own living room choir, impressive. Why would anyone ever part with such a gem?
You definitely did not overpromise, this vocoder is insane!
3:00ff now I know how the choirs in some of Enya's songs have been made...
Thought same
My first thought!!! Enya! 😂
And around 6:63 I got a "Daft punk" vibe...
Ha Yes my thoughts also directly !
Enya is probably the biggest Roland aficionado out there, Orinoco flow probably sold a lot of D50’s I’d reckon.
This is legendary, what a great sound on this beast !
This made me smile all the way to the heavens..... sounds incredible.
You are so much fun to watch. Put a huge smile on my face and we all need something to smile about. That thing sounds amazing. Now I want one too. Thanks Dr. Mix.
This has to be my favorite video yet. Incredible machine. Have fun with it. You must do a Kraftwerk spin-off tune with this baby.
There's always the TC Helicon Voicelive Hooked up to a midi keyboard if you don't have one of these. Though it doesn't come with the positive magic vibes Dr. Mix puts through it. :)
That is not nearly as good as this.
John Effinger - Pound for pound the VoiceLive range would eat this alive with a wider range of classic sounds. But then OVox would step up and slaughter both.
@@watercolourmark I have one. Does not sound as good. May have more features, and more complicated to use, but not the sound.
I have a Korg MS2000R. It has vocoder function and lets you input an external carrier for the vocoder
Yes! I have this magical piece of harware. So much fun to play with!
This is the first I've heard of this instrument. I love that sound! I own two hardware vocoders and a software one, but have never used any of them. But I would use this if I owned one.

I regret not watching it immediately after I got the notification. So loved the piece of technology and how you demonstrated it.
Good condition, like new!!! Harmonizer polyphony 4 voices simultaneously. My Vp-550 is already 12 years old, now I work with VP-770
That's the best and most useful vocoder sound I've ever heard
I've had mine for many moons-- I love it.

Thanks man!!

Aww so glad to hear that!! Man we're alive.. What a privilege! :)
Can't ever go wrong with Roland, I'm definitely a Roland boy....
Incredible demonstration... my mind go to the journey with it. A lot of christmass mood in here!

The JD-Xi has an even better vocoder than the Ultranova. ;)
I just love everything you do! Your good vibes make us happy! 😀🥰
Hi, now you became a singer,at beginning it was fun, after i feel flying, please more with this machine🙏🤩
Wow, this video was just pure heaven.
This Roland 550 is fantastic, it just amazed me, I dream of this
Omg that thing is phenomenal sounding !
I ain't musical, and have no idea on making music, but I still want one -- so much fun :)
JD-Xi has a killer vocoder for its pricepoint
Incredible piece of equipment. Thank you for sharing it with us.
My friend got one brand new when they came out. I should’ve bought it off him when he stopped using it. It was AWESOME!!! I want one now, as well as a VP-770.
OMG! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!
Absolutely beautiful! I really enjoyed this
I have the VP-770 and it is awesome!
I enjoy your (hilarious) videos and amazing performances! Thankyou - direct from Brazil!
Oh My my god , great demo Dr ! , Made me smile. What a great piece of equipment. I never realised just how good it was, thanks for sharing it with us.

I remember when I tried it in the store back then, I experimented playing Bohemian Rhapsody - it did a decent job for that
Great demo doctor, Old gears are always amazing !!
Loving this piece!!! Thanks for sharing your new vocoder!
Gosh! I WANT That Rolland VERY MUCH!!!!
Great Demo man!
Besides the amazing sounding.. what blew my mind was.. despite rare, old.. it was SoLight weight!!!! Not for a kind pf vintage gear no way! Txs for sharing.
Man ! Sounds like MAGIC !!
beautiful keyboard
Really cool! You must love buying these synths and stuff I know I do!
This is a VERY, Verrrrry rare keyboard: Slams it on the stand.... 0:52
But very very impressive keyboard!!
Thought the same...
Me too! What a knock 😱
Horrible. Shame on you, @Doctor Mix ! 😱😉
really, Doc, just wtf
Love this video, specially the grand finale with the spiritual mood! VP-550 😇
I have the Roland Vocoder Plus VP-330, but, a "little bit" older, love the Sounds.
Always enjoy watching, the excitement is always palpable. Love it. Keep doing what you're doing. 👍👍
Congrats on a cool addition!
You showed this off very well. Thank you

That is an incredible vocoder. Sheesh.
That sounds amazing! Roland needs to bring it back.
gave me goosebumps, now I want one!
This is amazing! (Says ex owner of Roland SVC-350) Cheers!
Before I clicked the video I KNEW I was going to make a Covid-19/GAS/Boredom/Online shopping comment...
Dr Mix is not only an amazing musician but a psychic too!
This made me laugh out loud a number of times. I can' t have one, I'd never stop playing with it.
I literally cried, it was so beautiful
its the best vocoder ive heard so far

Wow! What a funny and informative demonstation. Thank You for sharing. Joachim
Amei! Parabéns!
This vp550 sounds incredible!!
Oh, wow! It really blew my mind, tbh. State of art piece of music gear
Is this the best channel on TH-cam?? I think so...

Why do I suddenly need that Roland? Beautiful.
Ohhhhhh I have this beast. Bought one JUUUUUUST before the GFC hit. So lucky
can you do a video ..the best way to setup old gear with with new daws
Roland loves to bring old back... Here is to hoping they bring this baby back!!! 🤞🏾
This vocoder is impressive!!
No one in their right mind would blame you for buying THAT!
