I spent two days figuring this out, at first I even tried with a group channel, but thankfully figured this out by reading the manual, trying to get some conclusions out of some facts. So as you can see, it’s not complicated at all, right? … Errr actually, wrong is the correct answer.
Then you should set wet signal to maximum, adding any synthesizer sound source from the lower part of main Vocodex graphical interface (or just use any of the Immediate presets, as they all already use some sound source from the Synthesizer sound source menu). Thankfully IL Vocodex has an integrated carrier synthesizer, so all you need to do is set it as an insert effect of the audio track (modulator) and set the output of a MIDI file to “Vocodex MIDI in” MIDI input, setting the modulator value inside Vocodex to 0. You should insert a group channel, panning modulator to one side of the group and carrier to another, experiment with synthesizer presets and similar joyful things to get usable results. If a vocoder doesn’t have an integrated internal syntheszier then setting it inside the DAW can be a bit tricky. The quality of the vocalized voice is in close connection with its carrier source, the type of sound that you choose for a carrier. The end result is a blended sound of a voice and a synth line.
A series of band pass filters analyzing the modulator signal in real time control the frequency spectrum of synthesizer sound, letting only the frequencies that are presented in the modulator to get through the filters. In vocoder vocabulary, an audio clip (usually containing human voice) is a Modulator, while the sound from the synthesizer is a Carrier. You can transform a human voice into a robotic one, or even change the pitch of a recorded voice, giving the effect of some sort of singing synthesizer. I presume you know what a vocoder is and what it can be used for. Did you know that Vocodex comes also in VST form? It’s simple, not too expensive, yet still a very effective tool for making your synth sounds pop or adding some robotic nuances to your music.
