" Vocoder hardware de frío"
()
Producto comprado de segunda mano en Abril 2012
Características
Este es un codificador de voz de hardware inusual. Lo hace vocoder sencilla bastante bien, probablemente digitalmente porque hay un retraso notable antes del comienzo de la apertura de sobres. Pero tiene un montón de otros trucos bajo la manga. En primer lugar, usted puede sintonizar cualquiera de los formantes de alta o baja, ajustar la Q y el número de muestras bandas desde el panel frontal. Esto le da directo vocoder.
A continuación, puede ajustar la frecuencia central del vocoder a partir de dos octavas por debajo de dos por encima de las notas que estás jugando. Esto se combina con algo de distorsión en las frecuencias bajas para un efecto bastante agresiva. Ajuste de la más alta hace una especie de ardilla, lo girlie hombre, muy bien y probablemente incluso más útil si estás usando algo que no sea la voz como un generador de formantes.
Es estéreo de entrada / salida y no hay ninguna palabra en el manual sobre la mezcla, no estoy seguro si es realmente dos canales o no.
Hay un control de ganancia para la entrada, y uno de Electrix tradicionales botones de desplazamiento "para seleccionar las entradas de micrófono a la línea, en automático, el cual se elige una entrada dependiendo de lo que está activo en ese momento. ¿Podría estar de moda por mezclar voces y música grabada.
Hay un botón de mezcla y un interruptor de la matanza en seco (que en realidad no matar a la seca, al igual que caiga otra de 12 dB o algo así). Desde que estoy usando esto sobre todo con la guitarra / micrófono, la idea de mezclar la señal limpia con la señal de vocoder no es tan útil, pero también hay un pedal de bypass para permitir convertirla encendido / apagado para los solos épicos. También, usted puede pulsar un botón o el pedal una de "congelar" el formante, lo que permite un tipo fijo de wah efecto en el sobre está abierto.
También dispone de un generador sintetizador de sintonizable y un generador de ruido de modo que usted puede utilizar para el operador o mezclar con la señal de entrada para los efectos de sintetizador más radicales.
Se tiene conexiones midi, que debería permitir la secuenciación de todos los controles, con la posibilidad de animar y midi a la sincronización. Bastante simple uso de mensajes de cambio.

This is an unusual hardware vocoder. It does simple vocoding fairly well, probably digitally because there is a noticeable delay before the onset of the envelope opening. But it has a lot of other tricks up its sleeve. First off, you can tune the formants either high or low, adjust the Q and the number of sampling bands from the front panel. This gives straight forward vocoding.
Next, you can tune the center frequency of the vocoder from two octaves below to two above the notes you're playing. This is combined with some distortion with low frequencies for a fairly aggressive effect. Tuning it higher does a kind of chipmunk, girlie man thing, pretty cool and probably even more useful if you're using something other than voice as a formant generator.
It's stereo in/out and there's no word in the manual about mixing, not sure if it's truly two channels or not.
There's a gain knob for the input, and one of Electrix traditional "scroll buttons" to choose inputs from mic to line, to auto, which will choose an input depending on which is active at the time. Could be cool for blending vocals and recorded music.
There's a blend knob and a kill dry switch (which doesn't actually kill the dry, just drops it down another 12 dB or so). Since I'm using this mostly with guitar/microphone, the idea of blending the clean signal with the vocoded signal isn't as useful, but there's also a bypass footswitch to allow turning it on/off for those epic solos. Also, you can hit a button or a footswitch to "freeze" the formant, allowing a fixed wah kind of effect where the envelop stays open.
It also has a tuneable synth generator and a noise generator so that you can use them for carrier or blend them with your input signal for more radical synth effects.
It does have midi connections, which should allow sequencing of all controls, with the possibility of animating and midi syncing them. Pretty straight forward using CC messages.

Utilización
Puesto que es todas las perillas, la interfaz es muy clara. Esto es más largo de las líneas de un codificador de voz de hardware retroceso, aunque es digital. Me tomó menos de 5 minutos para averiguar todo lo que necesitaba saber, leer el manual de aclarar lo que estaba sucediendo con algunas cosas (como la matanza de corte seco del 90% al 20% de mezcla, frente a la capacidad de midi para ponerlo en 100% o% 0). Muy bien hecho.

Since it's all knobs, the interface is crystal clear. This is more along the lines of a throwback hardware vocoder, although it is digital. It took me less than 5 minutes to figure out all I needed to know, reading the manual clarified what was happening with a few things (like the kill dry only cutting from 90% to 20% blend, vs the midi ability to set it to 100% or 0%). Very well done.
Calidad Sonora
Como ya he mencionado, utilizando la guitarra como el transportista y el generador de voz como formante. Es bastante fácil de conseguir una especie de Frampton del sonido, que es tan fácil de tomar eso y correr con ella en un territorio bastante extraño, con silbidos y charlatanes, y así sucesivamente. Respuesta de frecuencia se encuentra al 14 kHz (18 bits, muestreo 32 kHz) por lo que va a perder un poco de aire / brillo, pero no suficiente para que yo pueda oír. Yo no tengo ningún vocoders de hardware, pero me imagino que es totalmente lo más flexible y fresca como la mayoría de ellos. Y no estoy al tanto de cualquier vocoders digitales con este nivel de control desde el panel frontal. Y con el control MIDI, puede desencadenar cualquiera de las funciones de un generador de caja, aftertouch, el tono, note on / off o lo que usted se pueda imaginar.

As I mentioned, using guitar as the carrier and voice as the formant generator. It's pretty easy to get a Frampton kind of sound, it's just as easy to take that and run with it into some pretty strange territory, with whistles and quacks and so on. Frequency response is listed at 14kHz (18 bit, 32kHz sampling) so it's going to lose a little bit of air/brilliance but not enough that I can hear it. I don't own any other hardware vocoders, but I'd guess that it's fully as flexible and cool as most of them. And I'm not aware of any digital vocoders with this level of control from the front panel. And with the midi control, you can trigger any of the functions from an envelop generator, aftertouch, pitch, note on/off or whatever you can think of.
Opinión Global
Hay un montón de sutilezas que no hacer vocoder tradicional muy bien, yo diría que unos pocos milisegundos retraso entre el inicio de hablar y el inicio de vocoder es mi único problema. En el precio original de $ 300 + que no eran muy prácticas, pero para los actuales $ 150 a 200 son frescos y en los $ 120 que pasé, ¿cómo iba a perder! Los únicos otros vocoders hardware que he visto han sido mucho más. Muy recomendable si usted puede encontrar uno barato.

There's a lot of quibbles that it doesn't do traditional vocoding very well, I'd say the few msec lag between beginning to speak and the onset of vocoding is my only problem there. At the original $300+ price they weren't very practical, but for the current $150-200 they're cool and at the $120 I spent, how could I lose! The only other hardware vocoders I've seen have been a LOT more. Highly recommended if you can find one cheap.
