Dynacord VRS-23 BBD analog delay

vintage gear demo by RetroSound

The Dynacord VRS-23 vertical reverberation system is a discrete-time fully analogue BBD (bucket-brigade device) delay and producing fantastic reverb or delay effects. The coarse delay/reverb time is switchable (50, 100, 200 and 400 ms) and adjustable. The sound is very warm and organic. early 80s

demo bass sequence: Roland Juno-60

Thats what I love about hardware delays, but this one is very nice Marco, real time manipulation, very inspiring with just one simple sequence from the juno 6 as you have shown. There were parts that sounded very "jarre" from oxygene. You would not think a digital delay would sound different to analogue delay, but this proves there is a BIG difference in how the music can be inspired to do a different thing ..thanks again!

[BarbierBruno]

@BarbierBruno yes! thank you bruno

[munichsound]

Hi! Danke, dass Du Dich nun auch mit den Effekt-Schätzchen befasst. Ich hab' die großen Dynaccords (TAM, DRS, SRS, VRS, CLS) aus dieser Zeit jeweils zweimal :-), weil ich dann auch "Stereo-In" habe ;-). Keep on rockin'

[retrosound72]

@munichsound ja manfred, das sind schon tolle teile. einzigartiger klang!

Jesus dude, where do you find these beautiful machines?? - You should turn your house into a vintage synth museum or something. That would make a friggin awesome tourist attraction!!!

[inblackn]

@aw5omeFRAZA i would pay to see it

[sparlyman]

Hey - I have one of these units collecting dust as part of my rack gear. It never gets used - didn't realise it was such a great sounding piece of kit - think it's time to sell it onto somebody who will appreciate it more

[Draakie100]

That....a 303...and a rhythm-box(even some cheap Casio stuff)...and I`m happy for hours ;)

[Draakie100]

@mik300z Sooo right...I have a small Cubase/Pro-Tools set up and the hardware stuff even sounds "better" or different....not sure yet.... Peace m8.

Wow, nice sound!!! Do you have any idea if it uses chips for the delay (for example Panasonic MN3005), and if yes, what is the model?

Thanks again for the demo! :-)

Dynacord product's  always good quality

[Riskteven]

BBD circuits were also found in chorus devices as I have discovered ("Intersound")

[Korgator]

es geht doch nichts ohne ein geiles Delay...!

Klasse.
