Vocals that sound like synths, synths that sounds like vocals – Bob Moog’s original 1979 16-band voice box did everything from robot speech to rich harmonized textures. Vocoder V adds a built-in analog synth, a dedicated sampler, and cutting-edge FX.
If you’d prefer not to sing, there’s even a dedicated sampler built in so you can process whatever sounds you want to. Part voice analyzer, part vintage analog synth, part cutting-edge sampler – this might just be the missing piece of your sonic puzzle. Turn your vocal stems into analog FM basslines; Turn your drum loops into a synth chord sequences; Turn ambient samples into harmonic drones; Anything is possible.
An essential sound
Vocoder V takes you back to the origins of a sound that’s defined countless artists and classic albums alike, from Daft Punk’s robot vocals to the infectious ‘Mr Blue Sky’.
More than just a voice
Go beyond robot vocals to create vowel-like synth sounds, resynthesized samples, or resonant drums from an alien world. Vocoder V exceeds every sonic expectation.
Analog perfection
Using our exclusive TAE® technology, every component of the classic 16-channel vocoder has been re-engineered in detail to sound & behave just like the original.
Retro, retrofitted
Vocoder V comes accompanied with a built-in synthesizer module, sample player, and creative enhancements, providing an end-to-end vocoding & resynthesis toolkit.
