Neil Young: "Sample And Hold" / Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201 (Mk1 or Mk2?).

'Trans' and 'Lucky Thirteen', 1982 & '93.

Lucky Thirteen = This version.
Copyright 1982 and '93, Neil Young. All Rights Reserved. For listening pleasure only.

The vocoder pictured in this video the Moog 16-Channel MBVO 327A Vocoder is incorrect...the correct vocoder is the Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201!!!

Mr. Neil Young used a Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201 on the recordings of 'Trans' and 'Lucky Thirteen'. Also to communicate with his cerebral-palsy and/or autistic?? son.

  • Great version of this song. Is it the original album version? I've been listening to the version on Grooveshark and it didn't sound this good! ....my understanding of the term Sample and Hold is that its a technical term used for a certain electronic circuit configuration...obviously, from the song title, Neil appropriated the term and used it to his own clever effect to sing and describe emotions normally associated with human relationships and human attributes...a dual meaning of sorts!

  • @sthodson This version is from the CD 'Lucky Thirteen'. I have both the CD and the vinyl album 'Trans' but am out-of-town so I don't know if they're the same, or not. The lengths are similar, but I don't think they're the same version. I think there are some minor differences between the two.

  • @sthodson I suppose I, you, or someone could check Discogs to see if they're the same, or not.

  • This a great version of this song! ....also, I think its hilarious and subtle clever that there are only three continually rotating images....great job on the minimalist front!

  • @sthodson Thanks!!

  • @sthodson I blew-it on the vocoder (I thought for sure it was the Moog since it has a switch labelled "Sample/Hold" and the song is called "Sample and Hold". Turns-out that it's actually the Sennheiser Vocoder.
