Always thought it was a minimoog synth, but a goodold arp synth.

I'm surprised, Ben Burtt didn't make them turn off the John Williams music arguing it was "so you can hear him better."

r2d2's voice is electronically beautiful. and yes those human elements added an organic touch to R2 that made him uniquely perfect. the only computer we all truly love.:P

I was lucky enough to tag along to Jim's 45 minute private meeting with the Godfather of sound design. Keep in mind that Jim gave Ben Burtt his prototype sound device before anybody else was on the block. I believe right after C2.
