[NAMM] Roland VP-7

See all NAMM Show 2010 news items »

This portable processor is designed to set up quickly on top of keyboards with free panel space and creates ensemble vocal sounds with a variety of PCM-based vocal sounds, or with Roland's Vocal Designer technology.

The VP-7 includes four human voice sounds—Female Choir, Boys Choir, Gregorian Choirs, and Jazz Scat—just by playing the keyboard.

The device features three Vocal Designer algorithms that can automatically generate multi-voice backing harmonies that sing the same lyrics as a performer sings into the included DR-HS5 headset microphone.

The VP-7's interface features large buttons and knobs. Onboard ambience effects are designed to sweeten the sound with the twist of a knob, while a handy mute switch lets the user bring the VP-7's processing in and out with the push of a button.

Availability
The VP-7 is scheduled to ship in May.
