Description
Based on the highly regarded VP330+, the Behringer Vocoder VC340 is an authentic recreation of the classic and can create awe-inspiring talking-synth sounds or huge string sections and multi-chorus pads. Multi-platinum artists have credited the vocoder for it unusual timbre and texture including Kraftwerk, Michael Jackson, Daft Punk, Stevie Wonder, and more. The sound of the vocoder became a staple in major motion pictures and video games for its ability to create robot voices, special audio effects, and much more.
The Vocoder VC340 doesn't include a microphone, but instead allows you to use your favourite XLR or 1/4" microphone for the modulator input, while the carrier signal is implemented from the front panel of the keyboard. You can mix a variety of signals with various human voices (male, female, and ensemble) as well as mix in a dedicated string section. The ensemble features a super-extensive chorus, which uses an analogue BBD delay circuit. Other notable features include vibrato, pitchshifting, keyboard splits, and more.
The rear panel hosts several connectors including microphone inputs and a 1/4" external synth input, as well as mono and stereo 1/4" outputs. Other control inputs include a Vocoder Hold footswitch and a Pitch footswitch, which allow for hands-free operation. Freely explore unusual routing and timbres using non-vocal modulators. For instance, use a bass synthesiser through the Ext Synth In input, while routing a drum-loop through the Mic input to create a wildly synthetic bassline. The Behringer Vocoder VC340 utilises an integrated auto-switching power supply and ships with a standard IEC power cord.
