Add a “Vocal Keyboardist” to Your Stage or Studio
Let's face it... not every musician can afford to hire a choir for their
gigs or recording sessions. Sometimes just finding a qualified background
singer or two can be a chore. Dilemma solved with the VP-550 Vocal &
Ensemble Keyboard. Much more than a traditional vocoder or harmonizer, the
VP-550 uses Roland’s breakthrough vocal-modelling technology to bring the
highest-quality, interactive vocal sounds to a dedicated instrument. Connect a
mic, select a sound, and play. You won’t believe what can come out of this
instrument: spectacular classical choirs, soulful gospel choirs, pop and jazz
voices, male & female ensembles, vintage vocoder, and lush string/vocal
hybrids. A great addition for lounge musicians playing at bars and hotels.
Vocal-Modelling Magic
The human voice is the most expressive musical instrument of all, so why not
use it as a tool to create ultra-realistic and expressive "virtual
vocals" with words generated from your own voice? Whether you need a full
choir, or surreal vocoder-like layers, the VP-550 can deliver the interactive,
expressive vocal backing you need. The VP-550 is also equipped with world-class
string sounds, which can be blended together with the vocal effects.
Practical Advantage
Not specific to one style of music, the VP-550 can be used for
a wide variety of musical applications. It’s ideal for musicians who
perform alone or in small groups, for example, and who need an interactive,
real-time backing chorus. Or, film and TV music composers who are challenged
with time and budget can use the VP-550 to generate high-impact choral
arrangements on the spot. Churches in need of a choir (or choir enhancer) will
love the VP-550. The creative possibilities are vast, as are the time/money
savings that this instrument can provide.
Blast From the Past
The VP-550 is equipped with ultra high-resolution vocoder modelling, which
can be used to generate surreal vocal effects great for electronica, pop,
R&B, hip-hop, and the like. Inject a dose of that classic retro “robot
voice” charm into your next recording without the hassle and expense of a
separate vocoder.
Friendly Face
One look at the VP-550’s inviting front panel and you’ll know
that this instrument has “user friendly” written all over it. There
are no hidden menus or complicated key commands required. Every feature has a
dedicated button or slider that’s clearly labeled and easy to reach.
Performers will especially love how inviting and inspiring the VP-550 is to use
onstage.
