The perfect trio

The Behringer Vocoder VC340 has been created with the sound and looks of a long-discontinued vocoder classic from 1979 in mind and keeps the tradition alive. In terms of design, a vocoder, a string ensemble, a human voice sound generator, and a keyboard with 37 velocity-sensitive keys have been combined here to create a high-performance analogue instrument equipped with an opulent control panel and up-to-date MIDI and USB-MIDI interfaces. Get ready for those classic, warm-sounding, and musical tones that fans of the 70s and 80s know and love.

Speech, choirs, and strings

The vocoder plays a unique role in electronic music, since it allows synthesizers to talk. The voice signal comes in via an external dynamic microphone, which allows an internal or external sound source to speak or sing via an analogue filter bank with ten frequency bands. But that is not all: The Vocoder VC340 also combines an analogue string ensemble and the sound of a human voice choir, which can be played polyphonically and assigned to different parts of the keyboard. Combined with the integrated vibrato and chorus effects, this provides wonderfully smooth-sounding textures that do a lot more than perfectly enhance the vocal effects.

An electronic time machine

Vocoders became a regular part of electronic music at the end of the 1960s and were heard on countless chart hits in the two decades that followed. Polyphonic sounds at this time were often obtained from string ensembles, which means that the combination on offer here almost automatically delivers a vintage feel, making the Vocoder VC340 the perfect choice for those looking to revive the sounds of this era. At the same time, the instrument’s intuitive user interface makes sound generation easy, which in turn makes this without doubt a musical instrument that is perfect for the stage and the studio.

About Behringer

The company, which was founded in Germany by Uli Behringer and now manufactures its products in China, has been known for affordable and great-value equipment since its very first product, the Studio Exciter F. An array of mixing consoles (such as the Eurodesk MX8000), signal processors, and later sound amplification and monitoring equipment, has made it possible for countless musicians to fit out their home studios, practice rooms, and mobile PAs within budget limits that were previously unthinkable. The acquisition of other companies, including Midas, Klark Teknik, and TC Electronic, meant that new product groups were added - and also resulted in the technical expertise of these companies being incorporated into product development.

Strings and vocals

The Vocoder VC340 gives you an analogue vocoder that reproduces the warm and distinctive sounds that have become synonymous with artists like Vangelis, Laurie Anderson, Tomita, and even Genesis and Pink Floyd. These are accompanied by dense string ensemble and choir sounds that can be played polyphonically and formed intuitively as well as enhanced with chorus, vibrato, and pitch-bend effects and distributed across two sections of the keyboard. Together with the 37 dynamic keys, this gives you a uniquely intuitive performance instrument that will excel both on stage and in the studio.

In the spotlight: Vocoder

The vocoder was developed by Bell Labs in the 1920s with the aim of transmitting spoken conversations via telephone lines with a low bandwidth. This technology was initially also employed in military applications before finding use in the musical sector. A vocoder works by passing the input signal – human speech – through a large number of parallel band-pass filters whose level curves are recorded by envelope followers. On the output side, these modulation signals are applied to a second filter bank, which is fed by a carrier waveform. The carrier signal thus takes on the modulations of the speech signal and is made to “speak”. The pitch of the carrier signal is variable, which means that the synthesised speech information can be played musically using a keyboard and can even be used polyphonically.

Een fantastische reproductie.

Dit was de tweede synthesizer van Behringer die ik kocht en hij bevalt zeer goed. Ik heb hem nu twee jaar en hij werkt nog altijd perfect. Het geluid is zeer authentiek. Een van de beste vintage string machines die je kunt kopen. De vocoder klinkt fantastisch.

High quality sounds and a high quality build

I was searching for a good vocoder for such a long time, the digital ones didn't appeal to me... Then the VC340 came just at the right time for the right price. It is now my main instrument for vocoding but I'm also using other features quite frequently.

This is a pure vintage sounding synth, very warm sounding strings and human voices and a beautiful analog vocoder. Since it resembles the Roland VP-330, it's pretty much hands on, you can see all of your controls without any menus - just the way I like it! Mixing sounds with faders while playing feels very organic and it flows very well.

The built quality is also excellent, the control board is made of metal with sturdy buttons, knobs and faders. The controls generally have a nice feel and they certainly don't feel cheap. The keyboard itself is by far the best one I have in my home studio and it doesn't feel flimsy at all.

Same goes for the ins and outs, it can be used as stereo and it sounds wonderful.

I have no cons whatsoever, well done Behringer! And thanks for bringing this synth back to life. Pure analogue joy!

If you are looking for a very vintage and analog vocoder sound and have no need for million other sterile vocoder options beside it, this would be a good choice!

near perfect

This is an amazing achievement by Behringer, I've put this next to the original and its excellent, I compared both synth sections and the vocoder and the Behringer nails it !
I will probably sell my original VPP330 now which was retrofitted with midi as I love the added velocity response of the Behringer, it's also lighter and smaller.
The only problem I have is that the ensemble effect sounds like one of the delay lines is running too fast, so Im hoping I can tweak this inside when that info becomes available.

Its only a small point but being able to switch the ensemble effect off the strings would have been a nice touch.
It would have been great if the external in could have been routed through the ensemble effect, I think they should release that as a stand alone effect.
I also think this should be released as a module with no keyboard.
