"A song written for a dog who likes to listen to the sound the Roland SVC-350 vocoder. This song features the MMM as well as a Sequential Circuits Drum Traks and a Roland Jupiter-6. (I don't have a Poly-800 .. sorry cowboy).

Here are the lyrics:

Do you know Cowboy
and the SVC-350?
Do you know Cowboy
and the Roland Vocoder?

Hey there Cowboy
I see you there
Lazy gazing
Gazing lazy
Whos my sweet boy?
You know its you.
I like to vocode and you do too.

No Poly-800 to drive the SVC
So I use an MMM as my carrier wave
No Poly-800 but Cowboy doesn't mind.
We all know its the Roland SVC-350 vocoder time.

And the first track from this post:


FIRST PRODUCTION MATTSON MINI MODULAR DEMO NUMBER FOUR from RED MARTIAN on Vimeo.

"Here is a fourth demo which features a LP and HP triangle wave arpeggiation nearly through out and a quick EG three oscillator bass. The drum kit is the same as in the other demos with no pitch changes or other processing, just dry sounds out of the VCA. There are two leads one is just two oscillators (saw) and the second has a square and a saw with the saw slight modulated by an LFO with high resonance on the filter.

The bass and arpeggiation were played and quantized in logic. The leads were recorded as played."

My Vocoder

RIP Cowboy

I just did my YouTube run and my heart sank when I found the following two videos. There are very few things that hit more than losing someone you love - person or pet. Pets have your back unconditionally, it's as if their sole purpose in life is to love you and let you know how much of a hero you are to them. My sincerest condolences go out to VoiceEncoder. We can tell that you treated him well, vocoder lectures and all. Cowboy was one lucky dog.

Roland SVC-350 Vocoder Info-Sheet

follow-up to this post. via robovoice on the forum. No vid, just sound.

"The Roland SVC-350 Vocoder is the first truly sophisticated vocoder to be priced within range of most musicians. The primary function of the Roland SVC-350 Vocoder is to analyze the spoken or sung human voice and use this information (or program) to trigger another musical signal (or carrier) giving the instrument the ability to 'speak' or 'sing'. This vocal synthesis is accomplished by processing the voice through a series of eleven 'Voice Character' analysis filters. All of the filters within the 'Voice Character Control' are active and control an envelope follower which reacts according to the volume of that individual frequency. This information is then used to shape those frequencies of the carrier (musical instrument) signal.

The Roland SVC-350 Vocoder uses ten filters for vowel sounds and there is also an extra filter with an extremely high slew rate allowing it to respond to the rapid transients of hard consonants, like the 'T' in the word 'today'. This consonant filter is a feature not found even on higher priced vocoders. The Roland SVC-350 Vocoder allows for both balanced and unbalanced program inputs and outputs and contains a special guitar input that permits attenuation of the guitar harmonics. Another remarkable feature of the Roland SVC-350 Vocoder is a special 'Hold' feature that locks onto the vowel sound quality so that one vowel sound does not have to be continually repeated while you play your instrument. With other features like the 'Ensemble' effect, head 'Phone' output, as well as guitar amp and line outputs...the Roland SVC-350 Vocoder is truly the next step in musical instrument effects.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Microphone Input (program): 1/4 phone jack or XLR connector 600 ohms -54 dBms min.
Instrument Input (carrier): 1/4 phone jack 100 k ohms guitar raw level
Guitar Amp Output: 1/4 phone jack 5 k ohms
Mono/Stereo Output: 1/4 phone jacks
Dimensions: 19(W)x 3.6(H) x 9.7(D) in."
