This is a hard choice for me. I love the possibilities of the Waldorf. Combining all those various sounds and then vocoding them sounds like lots of fun. And the ethereal, cold, digital flavor mixed with classic string sounds is right up my alley. On the other hand, the Behringer sounds so warm and lush in comparison. 2 totally different flavors of a similar meal. Can’t go wrong either way, IMO. I think the Waldorf is more of a complete instrument while the Behringer is a very good one/two trick pony.

Oh come on! Why do I love so much string synthesisers? First the STVC and then the Behringer Vocoder make me wanna abandon any analog and digital synth to dedicate my life to string synths. BTW this short comparisons between similar synths are amazingly useful!

@@Deeplycloseted435 The Streighfett is only a string machine - it has no vocoder. I intended putting the various string sounds from the Streighfett into the "ext synth in" of the VC340 and finding the best one for vocoding. I have bought the VC340 since my original comment but I had forgotten I ever wrote it (and your reply reminded me). So I will try the experiment this weekend hopefully.

@@prometheusrising8767 I have had the Streighfett and Behringer VC340 connected together in various ways for a few days now. Using the Streighfett going into the Synthesizer input of the VC340 gives more varied vocoder sounds as you would expect but I also tried the Streighfett voice sounds going into the VC340 microphone input but they are not very clear voices so it was interesting but a bit disappointing. So I made a recording of the VC340 voice sounds and played the recording into the VC340 mic input and this was quite good for making the vocoded choir type sound. It would be good if the VC340 had the option to connect it this way internally. I am thinking of making a video while I have all the right equipment out and ready to go. It might take me a few weeks to make it and edit it though.

One thing I will mention is that the Behringer retriggers when the keys are played again and similar to how the Solina behaves. This in fairness is true to the original VP. The Waldorf plays more like a conventional synth or like with the Crumar performer , multiman etc. without the retrigger.

Behringer wins hands down. It's a replica of the Roland VP330 and it does it impeccably. Price is great too. The Waldorf sounds good but for me I go for the vintage sound that gives me nostalgia for past music I've heard using the VP330. Sorry Waldorf
@HotStrange5 жыл бұрын
Luke Kage it’s a hard choice for me. I like the modern and ethereal take that the Waldorf has and all the variety of sounds you can combine, but the Behringer sounds very close to that vintage string creaminess. I would choose the Waldorf personally but only by a very thin margin.

@@HotStrange I already have 2 originals from the 70's already so that's why the Behringer appeals to me but I do understand if you don't already have vintage stringers the Waldorf does cover a lot of scope. For me the Behringer fills in a missing gap in my sonic selection

To me, THE vocoder sound is from the 70s and 80s. Nearly all the hit songs and TV shows I know that used a vocoder at all, used the Roland VC330 family (although there's a great video on the complex setup used for the original Cylon voices, featuring an ARP 2500 as the carrier etc.) So all these other attempts at vocoding from Korg and Waldorf always miss the mark.
@EdEditz2 жыл бұрын
Yep, I've seen those vids too and they used the EMS1000 vocoder for the Cylons which is a 16 band vocoder. The Roland is a 10 band so not so useful to reproduce the Cylon sound or Mr Blue Sky (EMS2000) but the VC340 still has that amazing vintage vocoder sound used in so many other songs and I wouldn't be without mine. ^___^
