Vocoder V

Arturia

Where to get itAvailable from Arturiaarturia.com

Vocoder V is a software vocoder plugin that analyzes modulation sources—voice, drums, or samples—and imparts their characteristics onto a synthesized carrier sound. Built around a 16-band filter architecture with digital envelope followers, it recreates classic vocoder effects while adding modern capabilities like pitch tracking, a 12-sample player, FM synthesis, and integrated effects. Unlike hardware vocoders, Vocoder V offers flexibility impossible in analog designs, including cross-band routing via patch bay and real-time timbral manipulation.

Key Features

0116-band vocoder filter bank with individual level controls per band
02Built-in 2-oscillator carrier synthesizer with FM synthesis, hard sync, and ensemble effect
03Sample Player with 12 sample slots, time-stretching, looping, and keyboard triggering
04Pitch tracking for monophonic sources with quantize and keyboard integration
05Virtual patch bay for routing modulation across frequency bands
06Envelope follower and LFO modulation with multiple waveforms and tempo sync
0711 effects (Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Overdrive, Compressor, BitCrusher, Multi Filter, Param EQ, Stereo Pan) with up to 3 simultaneous active
08Attack and Release controls, Shift and Width parameters, selectable hiss and buzz injection

Things to Try

  • 01Enable pitch tracking with quantize and sing or play a monophonic line to trigger synthesizer notes while holding a chord on the keyboard for layered vocal and harmony effects
  • 02Use the Sample Player to load a drum fill or vocal phrase, then adjust Attack and Release controls to shape the envelope of the vocoded output
  • 03Route modulation from low-frequency input bands to high-frequency carrier bands via the patch bay to create inverted frequency effects
  • 04Inject hiss or buzz selectively to improve intelligibility when vocoding consonants and fricatives in vocal effects
