Number 13 in the Roland SR-JV80-series of expansion boards, "Vocal Collection" was produced in 1998 by Roland jointly with (former Roland sound designer) Eric Persing's company Spectrasonics.

Roland is a fantastic, well-established company, and Eric is an incredibly gifted sound designer:  the strength of these two entities  really shows in this board - there are dozens of extremely playable and inspirational patches, ranging from jazz scats, "doos" & "waps", realistic choirs, and fantastic New Age pads, perfect for composing soundtracks or ambient music.

I recognize several of the waveforms from Spectrasonics' "Vocal Planet" and perhaps "Symphony Of Voices".  The recording quality is outstanding, super clean and with plenty of "air", perfect for a vocal expansion board.

One of the strong points of this board is the superb velocity-switch programming of certain patches - for example, the doo-wap ensembles - and some of the out worldly digital pads, spiced up by the excellent Roland filters and FX.

Besides the excellent jazz-based patches, there are plenty of R 'n' B sounds, moving adult and boys choirs, and even some Gregorian chant patches.  Special pads and sound fx round up the board nicely.
