Sample Customer Review

Feature:
I think roland should have have made this keyboard with more editing features,some storage banks to store your patches,some talkbox imitations and more vocoder presets.

Quality:
This is Roland, always expect quality.

Value:
I think it's a bit overpriced because it's pretty much a vocoder with a human element to it.

Desirability:
It has a cool retro look to it.

Sound:
Pretty Clear but the background vocals you try to achieve on this still sounds a bit robotic.

Ease of Use:
Totally easy to use,everythings right in your face.

Support:
I didn't buy it so I can't comment on this one.

Overall:
All I can say is everyone's ears are diff't so don't take my advice,go in the store and check it out yourself.I personally own a "Digitech Talker" and a "Electrix Warp Factory" which I think are the best(For Vocoder Effects).The Vocal Harmony effects on the VP 550 are pretty good but again gives you a "Vocoder-ish" sound.I was expecting Roland with the technology they have to produce something to give TC Helicon a run for their money.Roland is a very clever company and I'm sure they will come up with the Ultimate Digital Vocoder/Harmonizer one day(Hint Hint Roland).
