BRAND: Roland

MODEL: VP-550 Vocal & Ensemble Keyboard

FUNCTION: Keyboard Synthesizer

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a Roland VP-550 Vocal & Ensemble Keyboard. The Roland VP-550 Vocal & Ensemble Keyboard is a specialized 49-key performance synthesizer that relies on advanced Human Vocal Modeling technology to turn the human voice into realistic virtual choirs, backing harmonies, and expressive vocal textures in real time. Released in 2006 as a spiritual successor to the legendary VP-330, it allows you to plug in a dynamic microphone so that your spoken or sung words dictate the articulation, while the keys you press determine the exact pitches and chords.

SPECS:

• Serial # ZV21124
• Vocal Designer: This engine shapes your mic input into distinct vocal styles. Available modes include Classical, Pops, Male/Female, Vocoder 1 & 2, and a widely praised, highly realistic Gospel Choir mode.
• Ensemble: A separate engine dedicated to backing instruments and layered textures. It features presets such as Full Strings, Slow Strings, Mixed Chorus, Jazz Scat, Boy's Choir, and Humming. 
• Simultaneous Playback: You can play and layer Vocal Designer and Ensemble sounds at the same time to create massive string/vocal hybrids.
• Keyboard: 49 full-size keys featuring responsive synth action. 
• Polyphony: Generous 128-voice polyphony prevents note dropouts during heavy chord layering.
• Performance Control: Features Roland’s signature D Beam infrared controller for hands-free parameter manipulation, alongside standard pitch/modulation levers.
• Connectivity: Equipped with an XLR microphone input, external audio input (Ext In), regular headphone and line outputs, pedal inputs, and standard MIDI In/Out ports.
