feeling of unsteadiness at the beginning of the note.
Controller Explanation
4Pitch shift switch
AUTO
Auto pitch shift occurs at the speed specied by the 5[TIME] knob.
The starting pitch of the pitch shift is specied by the 6[PITCH SET]
knob.
Example setting:
This is an example of pitch shift settings that
realistically reproduce the character of a
human voice. This is appropriate for use with
the vocoder or human voice.
* The markings on the panel are general
guidelines. The appropriate settings
depend on the combination of other
settings such as attack, so try dierent
settings to get the sound that you want.
MANUAL
Use 1ribbon controller C1 to control pitch shift.
Set the 3[C1 MODE] switch
to “PITCH SHIFT.” Use the 6
[PITCH SET] knob to set the
range of pitch change.
Example setting:
You can use ribbon controller
C1 to shift the pitch
downward.

Introduction
The VP-03 is a sound module that uses cutting-edge modeling technology to faithfully model the Roland
VP-330 which went on sale in 1979. In addition to its compact size, it allows battery-powered operation and
contains a small speaker. It lets you enjoy full-edged vocoder sound anywhere.
In the same way as on the original VP-330, you can use a combination of the vocoder section, the human voice
section which electronically synthesizes a voice, and the strings section. To these sections, we’ve newly added a
step sequencer and a chord memory function.
* The VP-03 can operate on batteries or on USB bus power. If you are using batteries, insert four AA batteries,
making sure that the batteries are oriented correctly.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and uid leakage. Make sure that you carefully
observe all of the items related to batteries that are listed in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT
NOTES” (leaet “USING THE UNIT SAFELY”).
* When turning the unit over, be careful so as to protect the buttons and knobs from damage. Also, handle
the unit carefully; do not drop it.
* When the batteries run low, the LED above the Ribbon Controller C1 blinks. Install new batteries.
Using the VP-03 in conjunction with the K-25m keyboard
unit (sold separately) or DK-01 Boutique Dock (sold
separately)
& For installation, refer to the K-25m/DK-01’s Owner’s Manual.

What’s a Vocoder?
The “vocoder” was invented by the physicist H. Dudley in 1939 as a
technology for compressing a voice communication signal. Subsequently,
musical instruments based on this technology were developed, allowing
you to play melodies and harmonies using a human voice.
If we ignore dierences of loudness, pitch, and variation between
individuals, the waveform produced by our vocal cords is essentially
identical regardless of what you’re saying (e.g., “ahh” or “eeh”). We can
distinguish spoken or sung words because of the various resonances
(formants) created by our vocal tract (the shape of our throat and the
movement of the larynx and mouth) and additional sounds called
“fricatives,” “plosives,” and “sibilants” that are added in varying ways over
time. The eect of the waveform created by the vocal cords actually has a
rather minimal eect on what the listener hears.
A vocoder analyzes these time-varying changes, electrically synthesizes
the shape of the throat and movements of the mouth (the formant
movements), and uses these formants to modulate a musical signal (the
carrier) rather than the waveform produced by the vocal cords.
Performance tips
Vocoder is constructed so that elements other than pitch are expressed by your voice via the microphone.
You play the keyboard to control the pitch.
Vocoder won’t produce sound if you are only vocalizing into the microphone or only playing the keyboard.
This means that in order to take advantage of Vocoder, the timing at which you play the keyboard and
vocalize into the microphone is extremely important.
