1939

marks the invention of the “vocoder,” a method of compressing a vocal signal.

Subsequently used during World War II as a way to scramble communications, the vocoder

began to achieve popularity as an electronic musical instrument in the 1970’s. Most vocoders of

that time didn’t provide a keyboard or carrier signal (analogous to the vocal cords of a human),

so you had to separately provide a synthesizer in order to produce sound.

1979

was the year in which Roland released the VP-330, a new idea that combined a

vocoder with a strings-type keyboard, making it simple to produce sound without needing

to use other equipment. The VP-330 enabled you to create distinctive vocal sounds without

specialized knowledge of vocoder parameters, and still continues to be loved by musicians

around the world.

2006

saw the appearance of the VP-550, featuring Roland’s “Vocal Designer” human vocal

modeling technology—a leap beyond vocoding.

2009

now sees the birth of the VP-770, bringing you a further evolution of Vocal Designer

and cutting-edge SuperNATURAL technology.

“Ultimate vocals for all musicians” – that’s the mission of the VP.
