Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. There is a terrible disproportion between the number of vocoders in the world and the number of real-life vocoder use cases.
Today we are going to talk about the Roland Boutique VP-03. This string machine, vocoder and shrink-rayed digital reissue of the legendary VP-330 didn’t get off to a very good start when it was released back in 2017 and things only went downhill from there.
Chapters:

00:59 Overview Roland Boutique VP03
01:33 What it can do
02:18 String Sounds
02:35 Choir Sounds
02:53 Hidden Split Feature
03:01 Authentic Quirks
03:07 Additional Formant Parameter
03:18 Dark Side of the VP-03 (Polyphony, Phase Issues,...)
03:45 Worst Limitation of them All!!!
04:05 Sequencer, Sampling Option, Chords
04:27 Authenticity (or lack thereof)
04:45 Pricing
