A Modern Tribute to 70s/80s String Machines and Vocoders

The VOCODER VC340 captures the iconic sound aesthetic of classic vocoders and string machines. Its analog engine, dedicated faders, and BBD chorus deliver the warmth and spaciousness that defined countless recordings. It stands as a characterful synth designed to instantly recapture that vintage grain without artifices or complex menus.

For Which Musicians and Uses?

Ideal for synthwave, disco, italo, electro, and pop producers, the VC340 also appeals to ambient and film scoring sound designers thanks to its enveloping choir and string pads. Its direct handling suits motivated beginners as well as seasoned musicians, both in the studio and live, for robotic vocal textures, wide pads, and speaking leads.

Features and Innovations

The VOCODER VC340 combines an analog vocoder controlled by microphone with a strings/choirs ensemble featuring freely blendable "Human Voice" (male/female) and "Strings" sections. The built-in BBD chorus adds characteristic thickness and stereo width, while the vibrato-LFO and Pitch-Shift fader refine timbre animation. The 37-key semi-weighted velocity-sensitive keyboard encourages nuanced playing. Connectivity includes mono/stereo outputs, an XLR/6.3 mm jack microphone input for the vocoder, an audio input, Hold & Pitch inputs, as well as MIDI In/Out/Thru and a USB-B port for integration into any setup. The metal chassis with wooden side panels ensures durability and a classic look.
