Roland VP-330 (early model)

The VP-330 Vododer Plus was a very cool paraphonic 10-band vocoder and string machine. In addition to vocoding and generating string sounds, the VP-330 can also play four different choir sounds, each of which uses four bandpass filters. Vintage BBD circuitry adds lush airy character to pads. While numerous string machines and vocoders exist, a single device combining the two is rare, despite the advantage of paraphonic vocoding, and the VP-330's synthetic choir sounds are unique.

Two versions of the VP-330 were produced; the earlier model (1979) had red, gray, white, and green panel switches, the later model (1980) had TR-808-style orange, yellow, white, and green switch buttons.
