Description: Modular 13-band vocoder designed for the A100 modular synthesis system.
A vocoder is an audio processor that captures the characteristic elements of an an audio signal - normally a human voice - and then uses this characteristic signal to affect another audio signal (e.g. a synthesized sound like VCO or Noise). The technology behind the vocoder effect was initially used in attempts to synthesize speech. The effect called vocoding can be recognized on records as a "talking synthesizer", made popular by artists such as KRAFTWERK. Pioneers of electronic music took this concept and turned the vocoder into what it is now - a tool for creative sound design. The vocoder works like this: The sonic character of the analysis signal - i.e. normally human voice - is extracted and transforms the signal at the vocoder's synthesis input. For this, a set of filters, envelope followers and voltage controlled amplifiers are needed, making good analogue vocoders very expensive.
