Well I won't lie, I'm quite jealous of his equipment, seeing all his keyboards because I cant have one, at the same time he is one of the best musicians out there.
Hey Claudio !!! Been looking for this baby for ages... I have quite a few vocoders and vocal processing units like voice live, but the VP550 is the king. I've heard a guy play it live, combining VP gospel preset and voice live 3X harmonies at the same time... the result was mindblowing... You lucky bastard !!!!! ;)
You are so much fun to watch. Put a huge smile on my face and we all need something to smile about. That thing sounds amazing. Now I want one too. Thanks Dr. Mix.
Hi there, Congratulations. As musical production technician and electronic engineer...I can say to you....you are simple a genius!!!! Continue that way. Do the riff reviews, sound reconstruction, songs reconstruction...so amazing your channel, I found you since a few weeks...I can't stop watching. Thanks a lot , regards from Argentina
I used to sell these at Rock Palace, the Hague. My killer demo was doing the intro of Bohemian Rhapsody. Try it, it’s pretty easy and sounds amazing! I still own a VP7 module, so I’m covered 😎
This is the first I've heard of this instrument. I love that sound! I own two hardware vocoders and a software one, but have never used any of them. But I would use this if I owned one.
Great video! I honestly think someone could be having the worst possible day, watch one of your videos, and have the cloud of despair lifted from their soul. Thanks for the positivity man!
Oh, have mercy, Dr. Mix, I've just bought the Nord Lead 4 I've dreamt about for the last 15 years. ;D Now I want also this vocoder synth for the harmonies it has. :]
There's always the TC Helicon Voicelive Hooked up to a midi keyboard if you don't have one of these. Though it doesn't come with the positive magic vibes Dr. Mix puts through it. :)
John Effinger - Pound for pound the VoiceLive range would eat this alive with a wider range of classic sounds. But then OVox would step up and slaughter both.
My brother got a VP-550 and is amazing, he also have a Korg Microkorg and we compare both Vocoder sounds and defenetly the Roland is the winner but for more raw sound the Microkorg is perfect. My only Synth with Vocoder is a Novation Ultranova. Enjoy your new toy Claudio, the collection is growing, you will need a bigger place soon.
My friend got one brand new when they came out. I should’ve bought it off him when he stopped using it. It was AWESOME!!! I want one now, as well as a VP-770.
Sounds really crisp and right there! No doubt you can modify the tones deeply if the menus are anything like their Grooveboxes :) Great vid dude, love the enthusiasm always xx
Besides the amazing sounding.. what blew my mind was.. despite rare, old.. it was SoLight weight!!!! Not for a kind pf vintage gear no way! Txs for sharing.
Oh My my god , great demo Dr ! , Made me smile. What a great piece of equipment. I never realised just how good it was, thanks for sharing it with us. Love all your vids. Keep up the great work. Dave C (ANDROMEDA) from the UK.
I have the VP-500 and it is the only vocoder I use. Some of my other synths have a vocoder but the VP-550 makes a nice dedicated Vocoder with Keyboard.
Before I clicked the video I KNEW I was going to make a Covid-19/GAS/Boredom/Online shopping comment... Dr Mix is not only an amazing musician but a psychic too!
You get as excited as a kid on Christmas day, it's so wholesome.
Never heard of that VP-550. I didn't believe you at first but you were right. Mind blowing. Excellent instrument.
This is the ultimate VP550 video: ua-cam.com/video/RBG8T2f3uBE/v-deo.html
This has Enya written all over it....
Back in the days they made such amazing equipment.
Also O Superman
The VP550 is from 2007.
@@watercolourmark i mean the sound it produces, not this particular instrument as a model from in this case Roland.
Yes it did give off that Enya vibe.
@@watercolourmark 2007 is well way back in a day already ;)
Unreal, it really sounds like a full choir and you play it so well on the fly right out of the box.
Expensive rare vintage gear: *Exists*
Wallet: noo not again...
Dr. Mix: *Laughs in Vocoder sound*
lmao
well played ;)
4:13
Ikutaro is smiling up in his heaven when he sees you playing around with his amazing vocoder. 😊 ❤️
5:45 When Dr. Mix is happy, the whole world is happy!!! This is a very fun and inspiring video. Thanks.
What a missed opportunity to play the lion king in the jungle song! Was waiting till the end for it!
One of the best videos you’ve done in a while... I’d forgotten how cool this Roland sounds! Bravo sir... bravo. 😉 🎹 💕
I'd never heard of the VP-550. What a totally incredible machine.
this is the ultimate VP550 video: ua-cam.com/video/RBG8T2f3uBE/v-deo.html
3:00ff now I know how the choirs in some of Enya's songs have been made...
Thought same
My first thought!!! Enya! 😂
And around 6:63 I got a "Daft punk" vibe...
Ha Yes my thoughts also directly !
Enya is probably the biggest Roland aficionado out there, Orinoco flow probably sold a lot of D50’s I’d reckon.
Well I won't lie, I'm quite jealous of his equipment, seeing all his keyboards because I cant have one, at the same time he is one of the best musicians out there.
Probably more envy than jealousy
I’ve wanted this since it came out
Hey Claudio !!! Been looking for this baby for ages... I have quite a few vocoders and vocal processing units like voice live, but the VP550 is the king. I've heard a guy play it live, combining VP gospel preset and voice live 3X harmonies at the same time... the result was mindblowing...
You lucky bastard !!!!! ;)
It washed al my worries away.. Its incredible the way that these sounds can achieve things like that.
Hey Dr. Mix, at the end of the video i smiled and claped my hands. Have fun with your new tool.
This is legendary, what a great sound on this beast !
You definitely did not overpromise, this vocoder is insane!
This made me smile all the way to the heavens..... sounds incredible.
Yes! I have this magical piece of harware. So much fun to play with!
Good condition, like new!!! Harmonizer polyphony 4 voices simultaneously. My Vp-550 is already 12 years old, now I work with VP-770
You are so much fun to watch. Put a huge smile on my face and we all need something to smile about. That thing sounds amazing. Now I want one too. Thanks Dr. Mix.
I've had mine for many moons-- I love it.
That's the best and most useful vocoder sound I've ever heard
Your own living room choir, impressive. Why would anyone ever part with such a gem?
Wow, this video was just pure heaven.
Hi there, Congratulations. As musical production technician and electronic engineer...I can say to you....you are simple a genius!!!! Continue that way.

Thanks man!!
thanks to this video, i searched and found one. just got a vp-550. BEAUTIFUL. ! dr. mix ... you are the best.! thank you very much.
I love that he adds in the kinda chaotic set up. Everyone goes through it but no one ever shows it
I used to sell these at Rock Palace, the Hague. My killer demo was doing the intro of Bohemian Rhapsody. Try it, it’s pretty easy and sounds amazing! I still own a VP7 module, so I’m covered 😎
This is a VERY, Verrrrry rare keyboard: Slams it on the stand.... 0:52
But very very impressive keyboard!!
Thought the same...
Me too! What a knock 😱
Horrible. Shame on you, @Doctor Mix ! 😱😉
really, Doc, just wtf
This has to be my favorite video yet. Incredible machine. Have fun with it. You must do a Kraftwerk spin-off tune with this baby.
This is the first I've heard of this instrument. I love that sound! I own two hardware vocoders and a software one, but have never used any of them. But I would use this if I owned one.
Came here for Doctor Mix, got a full 2m30s vintage ad for Slap Chop right up front. This channel delivers.
I feel bad that I commented before I watched the video. I really enjoyed that demo. It isn't what I would do with a vocoder, it was a lot better.
I regret not watching it immediately after I got the notification. So loved the piece of technology and how you demonstrated it.
Great video! I honestly think someone could be having the worst possible day, watch one of your videos, and have the cloud of despair lifted from their soul. Thanks for the positivity man!
Aww so glad to hear that!! Man we're alive.. What a privilege! :)
I just love everything you do! Your good vibes make us happy! 😀🥰
Oh, have mercy, Dr. Mix, I've just bought the Nord Lead 4 I've dreamt about for the last 15 years. ;D Now I want also this vocoder synth for the harmonies it has. :]

That is not nearly as good as this.
John Effinger - Pound for pound the VoiceLive range would eat this alive with a wider range of classic sounds. But then OVox would step up and slaughter both.
@@watercolourmark I have one. Does not sound as good. May have more features, and more complicated to use, but not the sound.
I have a Korg MS2000R. It has vocoder function and lets you input an external carrier for the vocoder
My brother got a VP-550 and is amazing, he also have a Korg Microkorg and we compare both Vocoder sounds and defenetly the Roland is the winner but for more raw sound the Microkorg is perfect. My only Synth with Vocoder is a Novation Ultranova. Enjoy your new toy Claudio, the collection is growing, you will need a bigger place soon.
The JD-Xi has an even better vocoder than the Ultranova. ;)
I ain't musical, and have no idea on making music, but I still want one -- so much fun :)
JD-Xi has a killer vocoder for its pricepoint
This Roland 550 is fantastic, it just amazed me, I dream of this
Can't ever go wrong with Roland, I'm definitely a Roland boy....
OMG! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!
I have the VP-770 and it is awesome!
Incredible demonstration... my mind go to the journey with it. A lot of christmass mood in here!
I remember when I tried it in the store back then, I experimented playing Bohemian Rhapsody - it did a decent job for that
My friend got one brand new when they came out. I should’ve bought it off him when he stopped using it. It was AWESOME!!! I want one now, as well as a VP-770.
That thing is fabulous. Vocoder heaven!
Hi, now you became a singer,at beginning it was fun, after i feel flying, please more with this machine🙏🤩
Sounds really crisp and right there! No doubt you can modify the tones deeply if the menus are anything like their Grooveboxes :) Great vid dude, love the enthusiasm always xx
Love this video, specially the grand finale with the spiritual mood! VP-550 😇
Besides the amazing sounding.. what blew my mind was.. despite rare, old.. it was SoLight weight!!!! Not for a kind pf vintage gear no way! Txs for sharing.
I am with you in love VP550 I have wanted one for years it is a useful instrument.
Omg that thing is phenomenal sounding !
Always enjoy watching, the excitement is always palpable. Love it. Keep doing what you're doing. 👍👍
That is an incredible vocoder. Sheesh.
I enjoy your (hilarious) videos and amazing performances! Thankyou - direct from Brazil!
Man ! Sounds like MAGIC !!
I literally cried, it was so beautiful
Oh My my god , great demo Dr ! , Made me smile. What a great piece of equipment. I never realised just how good it was, thanks for sharing it with us.
Love all your vids. Keep up the great work.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AMAZING GRACE I HAVE EVER HEARD.........
Incredible piece of equipment. Thank you for sharing it with us.
No one in their right mind would blame you for buying THAT!
Loving this piece!!! Thanks for sharing your new vocoder!
I have the VP-500 and it is the only vocoder I use. Some of my other synths have a vocoder but the VP-550 makes a nice dedicated Vocoder with Keyboard.
Gosh! I WANT That Rolland VERY MUCH!!!!
Great Demo man!
I have the Roland Vocoder Plus VP-330, but, a "little bit" older, love the Sounds.
Why do I suddenly need that Roland? Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful! I really enjoyed this
Really cool! You must love buying these synths and stuff I know I do!
Already subscribed, Claudio! Been watching since Christmas 😍
Best video for last month ) ,and you are incredible man, angel
gave me goosebumps, now I want one!
That sounds amazing! Roland needs to bring it back.
This vp550 sounds incredible!!

Oh, wow! It really blew my mind, tbh. State of art piece of music gear
This is amazing! (Says ex owner of Roland SVC-350) Cheers!
Nice job. Amazing synth! You are so much fun to watch. :)
Roland loves to bring old back... Here is to hoping they bring this baby back!!! 🤞🏾
Great demo doctor, Old gears are always amazing !!
Congrats on a cool addition!
Being aware of you GAS problem is totally legit. I would do the same in your place. You are making a sacrifice for all of us, friend! :)
You showed this off very well. Thank you
That thing sounds amazing!
Dude I’m subscribed
Before I clicked the video I KNEW I was going to make a Covid-19/GAS/Boredom/Online shopping comment...
Dr Mix is not only an amazing musician but a psychic too!
its the best vocoder ive heard so far
This made me laugh out loud a number of times. I can' t have one, I'd never stop playing with it.
What an amazing sounding machine!
Claudio has got G.A.S.
I have C.A.S. - Computer Acquisition Sundrome.
Wow that's one amazing instrument!
Amazing🤩I want one🤔thanks for demonstrating 👍
Got One !!! ... sad they don't make them anymore. It's the best and most versatile Vocoder on the Planet.
Oooh I loved it! The whole thing.
Even reading a phone book would sound cool listening to this machine..😎
very good for Lion King, circle of life, amazing bit of kit
I was having a bad day until I seen this. Thank you
Is this the best channel on UA-cam?? I think so...
