The lower the number of bands the more characteristics of your voice will disappear and the more robot like it will sound. For instance, try bringing down the number of bands (in the screenshot above it shows 47). Now, I suggest you play a bit with various presets and controls. Speak into your microphone and observe (listen) to the way your voice modulates the sound. To select a carrier, open the Carrier tone drop down box and select a sound.

The cool thing with the Vocodex is that it has an integrated carrier generator for instance fun.

#HOW TO USE VOCODEX MOD#

You can side chain multiple modulater tracks to the Vocodex track, but you can only choose one in the MOD input (only one modulator can be active). This does not mean Insert track 1, but it is an offset indicating the first modulator side chained to the Vocodex track.

Left click and - while keeping the mouse button down - move up or down. You can change the value by moving your mouse over the display (the mouse pointer changes). See below:Д«efore we can have our voice sound like a robot, we should tell Vocodex what modulator to use. Next, select the Vocodex track and click on Vocodex in the FX slot. Next, make sure you disable the Enable send switch on the Master track (still with the modulatore track selected) so we do not send the voice to the output. You do this by a) selecting the modulator track (Insert track 2 in my case), b) right-clicking the Enable send switch on the Vocodex track (Insert track 1 i my case) and choose Side chain to this track. First, we must side chain the modulator track (Insert track 2) to the Vocodex track (Insert track 1). In the upper right corner you see that I have selected my microphone from the Audio input source drop down box. IвЂ™ve chosen Insert track 2 to be my modulator. I select another Insert track and make sure that IвЂ™ve selected the appropriate soundcard input from the Audio input source drop down box.

While you can use any sound as the modulator, I will explain how to setup audio input (e.g. Now, we already know that a vocoder needs a carrier and a modulator. It is always a good idea to do this вЂ“ it is easy to get lost and forget what Insert track is used for what. To keep things tidy IвЂ™ve also renamed and colorized the Insert track. See below:ДЄs you can see IвЂ™ve placed the Vocodex plugin in Insert track 1. In the Mixer, select an Insert track of your choice (not the Master track) and place the Vocodex in FX slot one. LetвЂ™s try to do this using the Vocodex plugin.ДЇL Studio 9 comes with a brandnew vocoder plugin called the Vocodex. And this creates this distinctive talking robot sound. The vocoder analyzes (real time) the frequency spectrum of our voice and only lets through the frequencies in the synthesizer sound (the carrier) that are also in our voice. How this is achieved? Well, imagine a synthesizer sound as our carrier and our own voice as the modulator. In music, it is a technique that is often used to create robot style voices. Originally, this technique was used to encode voice for transmissions (vocoder comes from voice encoder). If this modulating signal does not contain frequencies in a specific range, then these frequencies in the carrier are not being let through вЂ“ hence the output signal will not contain these frequencies.

In a vocoder the series of bandpass filters are controlled by the modulating signal. Frequencies outside this range are blocked. See also below for a simple illustration of how a bandpass filter operates:ДЄ bandpass filter will only let through frequencies between a lower threshold (f1) and a higher threshold (f2).

In essence, this is done via a series of bandpass filters - letting through the carrier frequencies that are detected in the modulator and rejecting those that arenвЂ™t. Vocoding is the process is letting the frequency spectrum of one sound (the modulator) modulate the frequency spectrum of another sound (the carrier).
