Turning the Band width knob to the right, and widen the bands. If you are after a more 'robotic' (harsh) sound try using the 16 to 32 band range. Vocoded sound will be (within the limits of the Carrier's frequency range and timbre, see below). Generally the more bands used, the more like the original (Modulator sound), the Vocodex allows you to change the number of vocoding bands from 5 to 100 (using the Bands selector). It is through this process the Carrier takes on the temporal-frequency characteristics of the modulator sound, and it is the essence of vocoding. More precisely, each frequency band's analysis envelope continuously tracks level changes in the Modulator and applies this envelope to the equivalent band in the Carrier'sįilter bank. (if present) in the Carrier is allowed through. The bands are in essence automatically controlled levels on a 5 to 100 band graphic equalizer through which the Carrier is trying to pass. Simply, imagine the Modulator band peaks are sliders of a graphic equalizer on the Carrier sounds Mixer channel, and that's Vocoding in a nutshell.īand analysis - In the screenshot left, the vertical colored bands show the modulator frequency-level activity.
Vocoding is the process of detecting signal levels across a range of narrow frequency-bands in one sound (the modulator, MOD) and filtering another sound (the Carrier, CAR) with the sameįrequency-band level activity. This section covers the basics of vocoding then moves onto some more creative uses of Vocodex. Setup Inputs Parameters Carrier SynthesizerĬontrolling Vocodex will be easier if you clearly understand how vocoding works.
So, for example, when a human voice is used to modulate a synthesizer chord, it will sound like the synthesizer is talking, the classic That allow through only those frequencies detected in the Modulator source.
The vocoder engine consists of a series of bandpass filters Vocoding is the process of using the real-time frequency spectrum of one sound (Modulator) to modulate the frequency spectrum of another (Carrier). Soundgoodizer maximizer, vocoder envelope control and up to 100 variable-width multi-parameter vocoder bands. Vocodex is the last word in vocoders, featuring advanced articulation envelopes, integrated Carrier synthesizer and
