[edit] expansion cards two expansion cards were released for the varios, the vc-1 which emulates a roland d-50, and the vc-2 which allowed vocal processing with an external microphone, with effects such as a vocoder and choir. much to the disappointment of varios owners who spent considerable amounts of money (albeit on a powerful unit), it appears roland have no plans to release any future expansion cards. furthermore, it appears the vc-2 is now out of production, with various sources claiming that roland made a set number of cards in an estimation of demand. copyright © 2017 christopher g brown patent christopher g brown 3529 2987 publisher: createspace independent publishing platform; large print edition (june 25, 1985) isbn-13: 978-1467904506
