NEW Mike Acosta Video - Roland VP-7 & MV-8800

Post by Mike Acosta »

Sup SP Users

Thought you might enjoy this demo video i did of the new Roland VP-7 Vocal Designer. It can be used as a great EFX tool for your SP. Sample your voice thru it , run existing vocal samples in your SP thru it to get great harmonies and vocoded effects. Also run your drum loops thru it for weird harmonic effects to be re-sampled.

Its a great accompaniment to the MV / SP or Fantom G for vocalists without the need for a computer.

Enjoy !

True, but his point is that you can use the VP-7 without the need of a computer. You do realize that most artists depend on vocal tuning plug-ins in DAWs and all that, right? :) Well this is just a (potential) alternative to that.

As far as not being practicable, he's really not doing anything more but sequence midi information into the MV-8800, that will then output both the original sample and control the VP-7 to change the pitch and such.

I can't think of a reason why this would be unpractical, as I do this all the time with sound modules and such. (You can also use a DAW sequencer to control the very same..)
