citron69 « Something other than a vocoder »
Published on 10/02/12 at 07:14Everything is said elsewhere.
UTILIZATION
Beware if you are like me, "keyboardist used in homes and VSTs studio" ... This is not an effect like the others.
This is an amp, a transducer horn and a pipe that is square in the mouth. Resonances of the mouth are used to modulate the sound ... and you need a microphone to pick them up.
Attention too, if you have a girlfriend and you want to keep ... do not abuse the talkbox in his presence ... I feel that the experiments drunk fairly quickly involuntary listeners.
SOUND QUALITY
When the level rises, there is the breath, the sound is distorted and saturated .. and this is NORMAL.
So, because of the distortion, forget harmonies (or it will make several mono plugs to keep a clear sound).
To vocalize harmonies, rather I will use a vocoder or a pitch shifter / hormoniseur / autotune.
On the synth, I choose a simple waveform in monaural with a single tilt (or oscilloscope synchronized) no effect (no reverb or delay phaser) on the other hand, I play on the vibrato portamento and pitch (it emphasizes the resonances mouth): D ... I use it for two days with my micro modular Clavia ... these two belong together!
If you use a sound with reverb / delay or doubling oscillators sound becomes rotten ... it can be funny 5 minutes but ... why buy a much distortion.
OVERALL OPINION
Simple to implement, an ultra sound characteristic that can not really approach it with a vocoder
