Roland VP-330 iOS emulation?
I was in my local music store trying out Roland's new emulation of their classic VP-330 vocoder called the VP-03. I was impressed but the price was a bit expensive at over £300. Anyway this has got me wondering if there is any good VP330 clones available for iOS?

Not sure if this will suit your needs, but if you have Audulus this is a great patch.

Not an emulation but exceedingly flexible is VoiceSynth. IAA but no AB though.
In one word: no.
+1 on the Audulus patch.
the VP-03 is a fairly lame emulation of the original VP330 (check the YT vids)
Imho all IOS vocoder apps aren't particularly 'analogish' either, sounds are usually blown up by effects and don't cut on their own (at least the examples I've heard).
For that reason I stick with Sparkle (Apesoft) or similiar apps that can achieve similiar sounds - of course that's no classic vocoding, but on the other hand may yield 'fresh' results.
the Audulus patch is top notch. It's a filter bank to create that human voice sound, including the ensemble effect. Use any string synth-like app (e.g. Alina) and Audulus as effect, and you get a very realistic VP-330 sound.
For the vocoder, I find the VirSyn apps quite good (iVoxel, VoxSyn).
those patch examples sound really good - I gave up on Audulus for it's crappy filter in version 2, possibly things have been improved.

(just checked again, but the high resonance sound is such a piece of xxx that it's already cool again
Excuse: my very good and powerful modular system in the old Creamware Scope setup, though rarely used because it's so time consuming.
But my full respect goes to the maker of the Audulus patch, well done.
I already have Audulus and managed to download the VP-330 emulation patch and use iPolysix as synth and Audulus as effect on Audiobus and I am very impressed with the results.
yay Audulus saves the day
OT: Vocoders on iOS are a drag
I want live input for carrier and modulator ... nothing does this
Make some cheesy ambient things and modulate the hell out of it with a drum computer...
Preferably with useful UIs all around
Go away with the boring robot voices, these things can do so much more
I also want to be able to switch things up so this band 1 can modulate band 3 or whatever ...
sure, but I understand why no developer made such a vocoder. It's too complicated for most users, and technically challenging if not impossible in the box (more than 2 audio inputs).
Fx stereochannel: One input left side, the other right side ..
That's not rocket science.
I have something like this in mind
For advanced audio drillers
If you can pan each band you will get a nice stereo signal in the end
And you could do exotic stereo things with it ...
I had another demo on the Roland Boutique VP-03 and the sound is good and it is 6 note polyphonic. However, the 6 note polyphony got me wondering why Roland were able to cram 6 note polyphony into the VP-03 but not on the JU-06, JP-08 and JX-03 boutique synths as they only have 4 note polyphony. Surely the VP-03 has the same CPU chip as the other boutique synths. Maybe Roland can release an update for the other boutique synths to upgrade the polyphony to 6 notes.
that's not a CPU but a DSP chip, most likely an Analog Devices Sharc.
Such chips act different, they have a set of resources and (must) pass audio data in realtime, which is very fast, but often leaves (theoretical) calculation power unused.
You may check the UAD plugin specs for reference: in their shop they list how many instances fit on a DSP etc.
I think it's fpga.
yes you could use mono channels for carrier and modulator - but you'd also need a host to do the routing. Too complicated for the iOS app market I think. Me and 20-30 others would probably buy such a vocoder app.
Maybe it's just a question of time until there will be side-chaining in AU and AU hosts, who knows.
Sorry, didn't see this thread before. There is no VP 330 emulation on iOS yet, but I'm working on it (within Audulus). Only the strings/human voice sections though, not the vocoder.
Arctic ProSynth has a vocoder, but cant compare it at all
It'd probably be a nice future Volca.
