Vocoder V Ultimate voice electrifier Vocals that sound like synths, synths that sounds like vocals - Bob Moog’s original 1979 16-band voice box did everything from robot speech to rich harmonized textures. Vocoder V adds a built-in analog synth, a dedicated sampler, and cutting-edge FX. To vocode, or not to vocode? Vocoder V is not your standard vocoder. It’s not your standard synthesizer either. This is your new voice-transforming playground. Unlike the traditional vocoder, it combines carrier and modulator - synth and voice analyzer - into one powerful unit. If you’d prefer not to sing, there’s even a dedicated sampler built in so you can process whatever sounds you want to. Part voice analyzer, part vintage analog synth, part cutting-edge sampler - this might just be the missing piece of your sonic puzzle. Turn your vocal stems into analog FM basslines; Turn your drum loops into a synth chord sequences; Turn ambient samples into harmonic drones; Anything is possible. An essential sound Vocoder V takes you back to the origins of a sound that’s defined countless artists and classic albums alike, from Daft Punk’s robot vocals to the infectious ‘Mr Blue Sky’. More than just a voice Go beyond robot vocals to create vowel-like synth sounds, resynthesized samples, or resonant drums from an alien world. Vocoder V exceeds every sonic expectation. Analog perfection Using our exclusive TAE® technology, every component of the classic 16-channel vocoder has been re-engineered in detail to sound & behave just like the original. Retro, retrofitted Vocoder V comes accompanied with a built-in synthesizer module, sample player, and creative enhancements, providing an end-to-end vocoding & resynthesis toolkit. Make that robot rock Vocoder V is out to give this classic a whole new voice. Vocals that sound like a synth, a synth that sounds like vocals - Dr. Bob Moog’s original 1979 16-band magic voice box is responsible for some of the most far-out sounds in music history, from robotic speech to rich harmonized textures. Built-in synthesis The original 16-Band Vocoder required an external synthesizer to process your vocal signal. With Vocoder V, it comes included as standard. Its built-in dedicated synthesizer carrier section behaves like a fully-fledged synth by itself, giving you everything you need to make the fun, futuristic robot noises that you know and love. Enjoy the warm polyphonic chord sequences, wild frequency-modulated basslines, or noisy blizzard ambiences that you’d expect from a classic analog synth - but uniquely molded into the shape of your vocals or samples. This synth can talk! 01. Hold Toggle whether all notes are sustained when played 02. Oscillator 1 Triangle, saw, square, and noise waveforms, with versatile shape control and Sync button 03. Oscillator 2 Triangle, saw, square, and noise waveforms, with shape control, fine tune control, and Fixed button which removes pitch control from the keyboard 04. Envelope controls A basic attack/release envelope to shape the onset and timing of your synth notes 05. Ensemble Dial in your preferred amount of rich analog-style chorus for amazing stereo depth 06. Expression controls Bend and Mod wheels let you tweak your vocoder performance dynamics, with options for pitch bend range and glide (portamento) 07. Chord mode Transform every note into a full chord, with 12 voicings to choose from including a custom one With a familiar dual-oscillator analog layout, complete with envelope and shaping controls, you suddenly have double the amount of control over your vocoder’s sound in a single interface - not to mention heaps of warm analog character to play with. Your new voice Vocoder V’s patchbay-centered interface will transport your voice wherever you want it to go. The modulator section is stunning authentic reimagining of the original, letting you sculpt the response of your voice input in detail before it moves along the chain. 01. Voice & synth levels Strike your own balance between carrier and modulator volume. 02. Times Adjust the attack and release time for all bands. 03. Frequency levels Individually control the level of each frequency band to adjust the finer sonic details. 04. Bands Shift continuously up or down the entire range of frequencies to emphasize lower or upper frequencies. Then narrows or expands all bands frequency ranges, from narrow and precise to broad and rich. 05. Patch bay 16 bands of analysis & synthesis frequencies, from 50 to 5080Hz, awaiting your patchwork magic, complete with sample & hold and patch bay bypass. 06. High Freq & noise controls Set the behavior of the high frequency signal; off, switched (with hiss signal), or direct (always active), and balance the level of vocoded signal (buzz) and noise content (hiss).
