Dude! That un-boxing stop motion is on another level! Such vision! Must be the glasses!
Thanks, I love stop motion, ever since I was a kid, so I just had to make it part of my videos style!
J T ...aaaah! The Evil Dead ....returns
Great review. Your videos are always top notch.
Totally awesome review! Love the quality of your videos
Very nice review. Loving vocoders! 😍
I love your reviews man. Even on gear I don't wanna buy I just like watching you review it.
Thank you, I always hoped that would be my place here. Make something that anyone could enjoy.
Great hair dude. Great video, thanks for the cool presentation.
Great review, complete and detailed. Thanks a lot for the effort put on it.
Appreciate it Daniele!
I dig the tune at the end brother!
Really enjoying your videos man.
Yo thanks man, it’s hard to keep up with new tech and write scripts at times but this one was particularly fun
Great review. I'm using the Roland Vp 770 and it's awesome. Roland is now putting the same vocoder engine in the Jupiter X and that vocoder can also be found on the V Synth GT .
Excellent review, very funny intro! 😂
thx for honesty and mentioning the Tal Vocoder, keep up
Absolutely. I’m always honest :)
Bonjour noir et blanc ! Your review is very interresting. Thx a lot . Great job
Best review so far!
Thank you Pablo, I love a good vocoder (even this average one) haha
this is such an excellent video
Your the only person I want to learn how to use my new synths from.... Only legit review and explanation video
I was about to buy this vocoder, now I'm thinking again... hahaha... thank you!!
Novation mininova is my preferred vocoder (using a blue encore) but I do love that TAL vocoder. One of the best free plugins for vintage vocoder sounds.
Absolutely agree!
nice review!
Thank you so much!
That's quite a long minute XD. Great review man!
U got me with the Angry Joe intro. Great video!
I instantly recognized that Angry Joe intro
DareDog101 oh good! How'd I do?
TAL Vocoder always ftw. Glad you mentioned it... out of all the plugin vocoders Ive used over the years, its still my favorite.
It's a great one right! Especially for the price ;)
I agree....:its actually better than two other software vocoders I payed money for, not even close really.
I’ve thought hard about the VP-03, but I’m gonna wait until the Waldorf STVC comes out. I’ve been wanting a Streichfett, and the addition of a vocoder, and that lovely Blofeld keybed might be a winner for me.
At the same time, the demo Behringer released of their vocoder sounded almost exactly the same as the original VP-300.....it supposed to be $800-1000, not sure I can do that for phased out strings, but the vocoder does sound outstanding.
@@Deeplycloseted435 I agree...the STVC is quite tempting, given it's combo of sweet string sounds and vocoder
Sean Craig ......if it ever comes out. Its been a solid year now since we saw what appeared to be a finished model at NAMM 2018.
@@Deeplycloseted435 Yes-I just checked Sweetwater and they still do not have it in stock. Not sure why it is so slow to arrive for sale--but hopefully that is because they are making SURE there are no bugs upon actual release!
Once again, a very nice review. Now I know, there is no need for a third vocoder in my studio.
CloudSounds! Thanks!! It's unfortunate, especially because I love vocoders. But well, it turned out to be just ok. I don't buy "OK" synths haha
bro, these are like 10 minutes long!!! but seriously my favorite new channel!
Hahaha, don’t worry Grey, these were some of the last OMSR, I’m glad you liked it though!
One thing I always look for in a vocoder is the ability to cross-patch between the various carrier and modulator channels, instead of having the pre-patched in the expected order. It greatly expands their usefulness for sound design, but hardly any offer this.
Now this is a review!
Great review. Really telling me what I needed to know! If only Roland had your insight, they could have made some bucks!
Thanks Sarmad. Roland did a great job, especially with the build quality. I just don't think it's the correct value for money.
Dude, if roland doesnt pay you for doing the whole stop motion thingy, I really admire you
Lol. No synth company has ever paid cash for anything on this channel. I just like stop motion 🤷🏾♂️
Excellent review!!! Have you ever tried the Behringer VC340?
I have, check my IG back like a few years ago. That said, I have the ultimate (ok that’s a lie) but, a vocoder video coming out Tuesday on the channel. So yeah, I compare a few and add my thoughts. It’s mainly a Moog vocoder video though.
@@NoirEtBlancVie Cool!!! That sounds very interesting and I am definitely looking forward to watching your new comparison video once it is released.
Thanks!
I LOVE YOU DAWG. I was about to spend those 350.
Thanks for keeping it simple and honest even when you know Roland might be watching, maybe org will through us a bone and come out with a analog vocoder volca!
Edgar Moreno dude, if they did a real analog vocoder I'd go nuts!!! Roland I swear sees all! I kinda went a little harsh on the score, but at least I said it's built well lol. Always good to see you here!
The JD-xi is analog vocoder.
Nice review. I'm in the market looking for the best vocoder. So which Synth has the best vocoder sound if this one is okay? I saw you had pictures of other synths with vocoders that were better. Do you have a review of the best vocoders?
+Preben Hoegh - I asked him the same question, so I'll just copy what his reply was;
"Ooooooo, it's gotta be the MS2000B, not because it's the best best, but because I know exactly how to make that one sound great with EQ."
ok thanks
i have the roland svc 350 which is for me is the best vocoder ever. live i use the electro harmonix v256, for portable reasons and sound great too. this new one from roland looks very interesting and replicates more or less the vp330. i need to try this one day! i just don't like the mini jack thing.
Awesome vid, the first demo sounds like a Laurie Anderson song oddly!
Absolutely fair thing to say. I am also underwhelmed by the sound... and even the possibilities
It was super unfortunate since this was quite possibly the synth I was most hyped for all year :(
Funny because the original proves the sonic quality is beyond there 😙
Sweet!
I've got a Microkorg, an Electrix Warp Factory (sure, it's not a synth, but a standalone vocoder, and an awesome one at that), and a JP-8080. Unfortunately, I am in the process of moving, so I have yet to try the vocoder out on the JP-8080 (I finally just got one, I've wanted one for about 18 years).
Maybe YOU should have been awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for proving once more that time is relative.
Nudel Salat 🙂
MS2000B does have a great Vocoder!
Great intro
Rock And/Or Roll wooooot! Thank you!
*Turns on vocoder* WoOdY pIaNo ShAcK, that's an awesome intro
How many vocoders let you input your own carrier signal, rather than only the modulator? Anything current?
I'd like to hear the lower octaves of the vocoder in a review. PS glad you like the TAL Vocoder ;)
I feel you, I just want another vocoder hahaha. Looking forward to korgs offerings in 2018
Got this weird problem that vocoder and human voice only work when ensemble (chorus) is enabled.
Am I overlooking something?
Just figured the OUT only does this, on phones I get results as aspected.
The BEST synth reviews on TH-cam. Love it! Have been thinking about getting this.
It's a very limited box, a one-trick pony even, but I think it does its trick pretty well. I bought mine because of those strings and human voice sounds, which are a staple to get that classic Vangelis vibe, and with the proper effects and mixing, it sounds beautiful. The addition of midi is a huge plus for live performance as well. Another bonus is the USB connectivity, which adds the possibility of connecting a carrier signal, which isn't as versatile as having a physical input but is good to know its there.
A final recommendation is to use a different mic other than the included in the box, which has a lousy sound quality.
Max16032 good points! I've owned lot of vocoders over the years, so I was planning on doing a video on how to help musicians achieve better vocoder sounds. I don't know if I should do it or not though. This video took longer than expected so I just feel lazy now haha
@@NoirEtBlancVie Would be cool to learn more about how to get better vocoder sound!
Epic
So far I haven't been wow'd by any of Roland's Boutique synths. I did like the chorus effect on this one. Also surprised the JD-XI made that list.
Mickel the JDXi has a nice 12 band vocoder! Well at least I think...do you have any vocoder suggestion.
Noir Et Blanc Vie Waldorf Q. Microkorg XL+
Surprised you picked the JDXI ;-) I actually own one :-| But my Korg R3 sounds nicer...
Vocodeing drums is fucking awesome!
If only I could do it with analog in :(
Plz review OP-Z if you havent
Does anyone happen to know if the VP-03 vocoder is the same as the one in the Roland VP-9000?
Unlike the VP-03, the VP9000 is not a vocoder. It is a sampler that has realtime pitch shifting, timestretching, and formant manipulation of samples. Yes, you could play a vocal sample back as a harmony or chord through a connected midi keyboard to make a single vocal sample sound like a choir, but the VP9000 does not work like a vocoder. Also, the sample has to be processed (encoded) before it can be played back on the keyboard in realtime. Now Roland's later Variphrase machines, such as the VP550, VP770, VP-7, and the V-Synth or Jupiter X with the Vocal Designer functionality, are in-fact vocoders. Your voice is processed in realtime as you speak directly into the microphone while playing notes on the keyboard simultaneously.
The VP-03 was designed to emulate the classic Roland VP330 synth/vocoder. A similar clone that is analog and much closer to the original VP330 is the Behringer VC340.
I used to own a VP9000 and currently own a VC340.
I hope this helps to answer your question.
Is... that a midi version of Crossing the Rubicon by Human Abstract in the intro haha?
Pharaoh Conch HELL YEA IT IS!!!!
What do you think about the behringer vc340?
I used it a year ago and it sounds amazing! Very heavy and well built.
@@NoirEtBlancVie Thank you, I just placed an order. Namaskaara from India 🙏🏽
I wonder if this would work with a microbrute??
These are actually plugins in a plastic box right? I love VST plugins and I would rather get the newly released Arturia vocoder or the Behringer one..
Tried the Behringer one, it’s absolutely fantastic sounding! Also, it weighs like 25lbs, quite a nice piece!
So what hardware vocoder do you recommend if you only want to own one?
If it's in your budget...... the Roland SVC-350. Classic vocoder rack from the early 80's. Look it up here on TH-cam if you're not familiar with it.
It's not "Luke, ...." It's actually " No, I am your father". Believe it. Great channel and super great format. Btw, do you have real eyes under those awesome specs?
Mandela effect😬
you think the VP-01 would a good choice for those who wanna learn how to do 80s synth wave stuff, modern-funk or even new wave? if not do you have any recommendations?
That’s tough, if you want to get the VP03 just because it’s fairly cost effective I’d say absolutely, go for it, but I don’t love the tone. What’s the budget, what’s your timetable to purchase it?
@@NoirEtBlancVie i feel that, the budget would be the mid range price maybe $400-$500. timetable wise whenever I hit that goal lol. the yamaha reface line or Roland's Gaia SH-01 seem like my next option for polyphonic. i own a monologue, and I'm really happy with it. but I'm not sure on everything yet. Only wanna buy what id actually use. haha.
Have you thought about the JD-Xi? Is that an option? It just covers so much range.
@@NoirEtBlancVie hmmm, thats good idea. when i used to work for a guitar center warehouse in cali, i used to see them come all the time. never came across my mind it was actually a good poly--synth. thanks for that! time for some research !
No prob, it just covers a lot of ground from Vocoder, to an analog voice, to tons of polyphony and drums. Really a workstation in sheep’s clothing.
lol that dig at the end
🤷🏾♂️ what can I say, ROLAND ALWAYS GIVES YOU 🤷🏾♂️lol
great video, you hardly ever see anyone using this boutique, definitely got me thinking. would love to hear your views on the Aira VT-03 if you ever get one
theycallmejpj thanks yo! I would totally be interested in a VT-03, it's tough. The end of 2017 is almost near so it won't happen in 2017 especially after Roland see's this and won't send me anything haha. Maybe next year!!
Im pretty sure people confuse talkboxes for vocoders more than visa versa.
Angry Noir Show? Not a big fan of AngryJoe, but that intro caught me off guard!
Disappointment hahaha, I hope at least I emulated it well. The intro took me way too long...but you know OMSR review's sad attempts at humor all to well 😅
Oh, it was perfect. A little too perfect even. Thank god he isn't a stickler for content id'ing parodies of his show or any part of it.
Dude, serious question: if this is your 6/10 for vocoders, what's your 10/10?
Eh nothin I can say is a 10/10. The JDXi would be my choice in this price range in 2020.
@@NoirEtBlancVie nice man, thanks! I'm a black nerd who is also getting into analog synths so I appreciate the hell out of your channel!!!
futureshocked yo thanks man, I’m hoping putting a good face out there for the black nerds. Growing up it wasn’t easy to find a community, so I don’t know anything but this shit haha
@@NoirEtBlancVie
Hello from Detroit ...its 2020 / i am a Vocorded Voice fan & Boutique freak / I have a JDXi and have had trouble getting the most out of the Vocorder / I was considering a 2nd hand Vp-03 ...now not so much / Can you share any info on (tips/tricks) the JDXi Vocorder ? thanks in advance and happy holidays .
@@jonjon5280 have you checked out my VP-03 tips video? Aside from that look at the Behringer vocoder, I tried it and it’s worlds better sounding to me and incredibly well built.
I actually think the strings and human voice section are better than the Vocoder section. Sounds great as a vintage string machine type gizmo.
Totally agree!
For a second here I thought I'm going crazy, with Angry Joe's intro
HeyIAmNotHiggins hahaha, I hope it legit fooled you 😉
So of all the other vocoders you'd rather have, which is your favorite?
Ooooooo, it's gotta be the MS2000B, not because it's the best best, but because I know exactly how to make that one sound great with EQ.
So you're telling me that the Daft Punk guy doesn't have a talk box tube running up into his helmet?!?!?! 14 year old me would be so pissed.
Great fuccin video
Maaaaaaaan, thank you Tray Nino! Always good to see you here!
Piss funny intro - nice one :)
Thank you Barry, this was so fun to do. Totally not appreciated, but this made it all worth it!
Roland made a mistake by not making the boutique line eurorack compatible
I totally agree!
MS2000B imho has to be the worst vocoder to ever exist. The SVC350 eats it alive. Same is true for the TAL vocoder, which also eats the shitty korg for a snack.
I disagree, BUT, that’s what make subjective opinions subjective.:)
Personal opinion but just get a microkorg
AngryJoeShow ;)
Please more Star Wars ❤️🔥
*No, I am your father
David Schiess you’re not my dad 😂😂
No, I am your father.
AHAHAHAHAH NERDDDDDDD
I like the review- just one thing, he didn't demo the Female Voice on it's own :(
none of these are 1 minute
Nope, not one. 🙂
not 60 seconds, 0/10
Fair score, I woulda gonna -60/10 though lol
all in all, a really informative review with no bullshit, thanks for the obvious effort
Haha thanks man, I think there’s just something about dressing up like Darth Vader that’s consistently fun!
