ROLAND VP330 Vocoder Plus by RetroSound

"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

analog strings/ human voice choir: Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus
bass drone: Roland Juno-60
space effect sound: SCI Pro-One

more info: http://www.myspace.com/retrosound72

The Vocoder Plus contains three tone-generating sections: Vocoder, Human Voice and Strings, which may be independently assigned to cover the whole keyboard, or either the upper or lower half.

The String section produces orchestral string sounds that are silky and warm feeling, and most importantly, consistent throughout the entire length of the keyboard. The Tone and Attack Time of the String section can be controlled inependently, and the Release Time is hared with the two other sections.

The Human Voice section literally defies description with its uncanny resemblance to a chorus of human voices. The upper half of the keyboard contains one female and one male chorus, while the lower half contains two male choruses. There is also an ensemble effect which increases the dimension of the vocal chorus.

The Vocoder section, like our rack-mounting Vocoder (SVC-350), processes the spoken or sung human voice (program), analyzing its character and using this information to modify another musical signal (carrier). The Vocoder section uses ten analysis filters for vowel sounds, and there is also an additional filter that is used for consonants. The Vocoder section uses as a carrier signal the combined components of the Human Voice and String section
(Roland Info Sheet 1979)."

Roland Jupiter-4 Analog Synthesizer

"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

Roland Jupiter-4
4-Voice Analog Synthesizer from the year 1978.
The JP-4 sound is very warm and organic. The 4 VCO`s are always a bit out of tune but this is the typical JP-4 sound. A very nice analog synth!
Unfortunately a bit underrated. Not compared to the bigger JP-6 or JP-8. For me the best sounded Jupiter.

the demo shows some sound settings, arpeggiator and unisono mode
FX: Lexicon MPX for delay and reverb

used by: Human League, Depeche Mode (Vince Clark), Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, Vangelis, Thomas Dolby...."

Ensoniq SQ-80 CrossWave Synthesizer

YouTube via retrosound72

"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

some typical self-made and factory sounds from the Ensoniq SQ-80 Cross Wave Synthesizer from 1987;

SQ-80 = 75 digital 8-bit waveforms + analog curtis filter, Osc-Sync, Ringmodulation (AM)...

The SQ-80 is very underrated, easy to program and really nice for PPG Wave and Prophet VS like sounds but nevertheless particularly in sound. The perfect machine for ambient music or horror movie soundtracks.

"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

PPG Wave 2.2 Wavetable Synthesizer from the year 1982.

part1: some typical classic Wave 2.2 sounds
part2: the different functions (coming soon)


The PPG Wave 2.2 is the direct successor of the Wave 2 but with 2 oscillators. He is one of the greatest synths ever. A real classic! Only 500 Wave 2.2 were manufactured.

The sound character is different to the later Waldorf Microwave synths and a little bit different to the Wave 2.3. The nice SSM 2044 filter make the sounds so warm and incredible.

- 8 Voices
- 2 to 16 Oscillators per voice
- 30 Wavetables with 64 waves per table
- analog 24 dB/oct lowpass SSM 2044 VCF
- Curtis CEM 3360 VCAs
- micro processor (6809)
- 8Bit DACs

Used by: Trevor Horn (Propaganda, Art Of Noise, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones), Ultravox, Depeche Mode, Talk Talk, Tears For Fears, Thomas Dolby, The Fixx, Thompson Twins, Gary Numan and much more"
