Behringer Vocoder VC340 Authentic Analog Vocoder for Human Voice & String Ensemble

Step into the golden age of synthesised sound with the Behringer VC340, a meticulously crafted vocoder that brings the iconic analog warmth of the 1970s and ’80s directly to your studio. Featuring 37 semi-weighted full-size keys with velocity sensitivity and an authentic analog signal path, this instrument captures the essence of those legendary talking-synth sounds that defined countless hit recordings. The VC340 excels at producing rich string sections and multi-voice choir pads that will transport you back to the era of synth-based rock.

The engineering behind the VC340 stays true to original analog circuitry principles, making it remarkably straightforward to recreate those classic vocoder tones that left such a lasting impact on music history. This attention to authentic analog design provides exceptional sound shaping flexibility, covering everything from super-fat voice and string ensembles through to stunning effects and otherworldly sonic textures limited only by your imagination.

Modern convenience meets vintage character through the dedicated XLR input connector on the rear panel, allowing you to connect any low-impedance dynamic microphone to modulate the onboard synthesised sounds. The built-in chorus utilises genuine analog BBD (Bucket Brigade Delay) technology, passing the signal through multiple processing stages to achieve that perfect luscious thickening effect that vocal choirs and string sections demand.

With 32 knobs, faders and switches arranged in an intuitive layout, the VC340 puts creative control at your fingertips. Comprehensive connectivity includes Mic In, Phones, External Synth In, Control inputs for Behringer Hold & Pitch pedals, Audio Out (Mono & Stereo with 3-position Level switch), plus MIDI I/O and Thru via USB/MIDI DIN connections.
