DESCRIPTION

8-channel vocoder with graphic interface for easy control of channel frequencies. Extra features include spectral display, formant shifting, unvoiced detection, pitch-tracking, and control of alternated stereo panning of the vocoder channels for spatial effects.

Instrument contains built-in modulator and carrier sources including samplers, grain resynths, and a simple dual-osc synth. Select "external" inputs to use other Reaktor instruments or mic inputs as modulators and carriers.

This instrument is designed to use one sample for each sampler/grainular module with root note 60 (middle C) and looping turned on. Right-click audio waveform displays to replace samples or to modify root-note and loop settings.

I have entered text into all info fields, so you can hold the arrow over controls to get hints.

In the ensemble there are no audio in terminals. This might effect some DAW, easy to fix, just add terminals from the carrier and modulator ports on the instrument.

Can anyone help me out? I can't seem to get this to work. I have the modulator set to the sample + midi trig, the carrier set to external, and the output set to vocoder. My microphone channel's audio is being sent to my MIDI channel with bluecoder on it .. what am I doing wrong?

This is FANTASTIC !!! Excellent and masterful work. You know...you can hate me but I would love to see a 16-band (or user-adjustable bands) for this. This vocoder is my default vocoder in all of my musical work now. 10 out of 10.

Thanks for this! However can someone tell me how to use external input for both carrier and modulator with Ableton Live as the host? Sorry, i can't figure it out! It would be very appreciated!

Thanks! I actually use this more than N.I Vokator, as it´s more simple to use and give better results in many occations.

My own preference was to work with one sample loaded at a time, and the fastest way to replace a sample in this case is to right-click on the waveform display of the sampler or grain module and select "replace sample..." (instead of "add sample"). You can also do this in the sample map editor which pops up when you double-click on the waveform display. If you would like multiple samples loaded simultaneously, you can connect a knob to the "sel" input of the sampler modules to select a sample by its root note (assigned in the map editor). You can also select samples with note pitch, but that would be less common/practical for vocoding in my opinion. Hope that helps!

I really like this but am having problems selecting samples after I have loaded them. How do I change them in the sample or grain modules. thanks

I'm sorry to everyone who downloaded 1.0, I wasn't thinking clearly about voice management. I highly recommend the 1.1 update.
