  Characteristics

  The Electrix Warp Factory is a unique vocoder, designed for uses of all types. It has an XLR input in the front, as well as an XLR output in the back in addition to 1/4" connections, RCA, and MIDI connections in the back. It is rack mountable and will take up two spaces in a traditional rack casing.

  Utilization

  Using the Electrix Warp Factory will certainly take a bit of practice, as this isn't your typical effect. However, after playing with it for a little while I felt that I could get the hang of it pretty well. There is definitely a good amount control over your tone, with control over both the mic preamp gain and for 'warping' your signal. The warp section has parameters for gender, Q (bandwidth), order, pitch, robot punch, effect mix, and a slew of buttons as well including for format freeze. If you are are new to vocoding, I'd definitely suggest having the manual around.

  Sound Quality

  Even though I haven't used all that many different hardware vocoders, the Electrix Warp Factory is definitely up there with the best of them that I have used. It offers up a ton of control, and in general the tones sound clear and of course vocoded! You can absolutely make your voice sound like a robot with this box! It is quite powerful, especially because it has so many different parameters to work with. You can actually use it with any instrument, not just a voice, which is cool, but of course the best use with the Electrix Warp Factory will always be with a voice as this is what it is designed for...

  Overall Opinion

  I don't really know what kind of price the Electrix Warp Factory commands, as I don't own one and have never needed to do the research on it. However, Electrix usually has pretty good prices for their gear while still maintaining a very high quality. The bottom line with the Warp Factory is that if you are looking for a vocoder in a piece of outboard gear, definitely do not decide on one until you check out this one!

  Characteristics

  Then I shall decide to ask a review on this troisme vocoder.
  
  It's been 3 months now that I think I owns and well under control. This is a vocoder numrique everything from classic, see other reviews for more dtails techniques.
  
  
  
  I noticed that the hill of this small rack freindly continues to collapse, and why? Well simply that someone would leave a notice DPOS prsager vocoder that is void ... APRs have been busy exploring I can tell you, this is not the case, it is limited but it has its charm is him!
  
  
  
  I see a lot of people caused by the warp of the factory, it's true but I think it is through this that vocoder rclame hours of expression to find its appropriate .. .
  
  Often, we say that we must send a synth sound of saw-tooth as a source in a vocoder, that's what I did to beginners, it's true that a ring right away with a vintage analog vocoder as the Roland VP-330 and I t had enough of the on the spot has not sound terrible, too flat and without finesse.
  
  
  
  The reason for the warp factory possde do not have a lot of grain in low and high registers. In addition, it must be rgler levels forming source and if the sound is really ugly.
  
  I rank in the closet a while and then I DCID to try again. As a source this time I sent her a string of attacks with trs typ cr low from a 12-bit sampler roland s-50, sound more normment me, tr s subtle, almost approaching a vintage vocoder on some points. Since I apprcie much. I would say that vocoder is above a Korg microKORG and other vocoders contained in the analog synths modlisation, it is certainly limited because they can not do much with it sounds DIFFERENT, and once we have the right sound, it keeps (the DIFFERENT rglages are of little use), it has a well him. So if your goal and adding some parts of vocoder voices on some of your songs, may be good, especially for its price minuscule compared the services it provides. Worthy of the 200th, I would sell mine, now I care!

  Characteristics

  Classic Vocoder with possibility of MIDI automation

  Utilization

  Simple to use, it still requires a little knowledge to get to draw things audible (choice of forms, carriers, etc.).

  Sound Quality

  The technical quality is very good ..... but the result is bad enough, frankly see very bad.
  
  Sure, it was almost the only market at the time of its release, but that does not justify a result as limited ....

  Overall Opinion

  That hardware is sturdy, it has the mouth .... but it does not ring and the results range from passable to disastrous .... compared to the vocoder-known is the day and night.
  
  
  
  Warning: this is only my opinion and that is a reflection of my personal or professional experience that I want objective, but which is necessarily subjective. I am not forcing anyone to share it, to take it at face value. So for the brave who think invested I do not know what mission on condition of anonymity to their email, it is useless to send me messages of insults because you do not share my point of view: your mail automatically end his life in the trash, with no other alternative. In a sense, you can consider it a return to sender;)

  Funkix's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Vocoder is simple but rather good job in this price range.

  Utilization

  Very easy to use, the controller parameters can also be by noon.

  Sound Quality

  I use it with keyboard and drum machine but it works with any audio source (preferred connecting an external source coupled to a midi keyboard that using the robot needs to be a Pitch to 0 in this case, better opportunities)

  Overall Opinion

  Personal I find very good value for money, now we can always dream of ems which costs 2000 euros but vocoder me great help.
