285.0. "Korg DVP1 Digital Voice Processor" by VIKING::SAVAGE () Tue Apr 01 1986 11:08

    This weekend I was in Wurlitzer's Frmingham and I got a chance to
    take a look at the Korg DVP-1. DVP = digital voice processor.
    
    This is a really sharp piece of work here. It lists at $1000 and
    is going for about $900.
    
    It's a harmonizer - you can set and interval and let it track that
    or (this is great) you can use a midi keyboard and get it to do
    up to five harmonies simultaneously. The harmonies are the half
    step intervals you excite on the keyboard. C4 on the keyboard is
    always the original input note's pitch, I think.
    
    It also does vocoding. In a departure from other vocoders it doesn't
    vocode an input signal but uses internal voices. I don't know if
    you can therefore get the Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight" sort
    of thing exactly but you can get Laurie Anderson in about 5 seconds.
    
    Try this thing out if you get a chance. Very impressive.

285.1vocoder circuit?VIKING::SAVAGETue Apr 01 1986 16:005
    While I was at wurlitzers the salesman mentioned that there was
    some sort of a reasonable Craig Anderton circuit in Keyboard that
    was an 8 band vocoder. Has anyone got the hardcopies of this?

285.2Commusic strikes againBARNUM::RHODESThu Mar 05 1987 08:517
    There is a previous note on vocoders from about a year to a year
    and a half ago.  TOm drew a picture of a vocoder circuit.  Anybody
    know the number?
