The Classic Vocoder
To achieve a classic vocoder sound, connect a microphone to the Formant input and a
keyboard into the Source input. Select a string pad patch on the keyboard and talk into
the microphone. Set the Effect Mix (wet/dry) control to 100% wet.
This effect works best with “buzzy” sounding synthesizer pads for the Source input and a
mic. Experiment with different vocal sounds such as growls or squeals, or a sustained
“ooooeeeeeeaaaaaa” for example. Single line melodies played on the synth can be “sung”
if you vocalize while playing.
