 Posted: Sun Jun 28, 2009 12:22 pm Post subject: Vocal Harmonizer - General Question |
 |
|
Do any of the current 88 key Korg sythesizers support the Vocal Harmonizer feature that was in the i40M? Or Can they be added?
Not sure where to post this so I'll start here since I'm new to this forum. |

The very reason I kept my Korg DVP-1. A great box and can be had dirt cheap now...

| Thanks for the feedback. I've noticed that the KB's with Sampler Inputs have a feature called Vocoder. It doesn't look like it's intended for Vocal Harmonizing but can it be used for this purpose? |

uhmmmmmmm....
NO, and yes [big NO, small yes]
NO: the vocoder function won't process your voice in a clean and transparent way, creating just harmonized "copies" of your voice.
It will always use a synthesized wave and filter it, so you'll always hear a synthesque sound, not a pure voice sound.
But:
yes: I found the M3's vocoder to be unusually clean and crisp, and with a GREAT definition of sibilants and vowels.
If you use very rich waves as carriers (vocals, fat analog saws), program the vocoder accurately and equalize/compress it,
you will get a VERY articulate al talkative vocoder with clear speech definition.
Not a "robot", but a "distorted voice".
I have to say: one of the best vocoders for that.
At that point, you'll have far more polyphony voices than any harmonizer.
But it's NOT an "harmonizer".
GOOD for wakemanesque choirs and zawinulesque background comping or two voice vocal solos, definitely NOT good for faking a choir backing. |

in laymans terms, a vocoder combines the percussive elements of your voice (consonants, vowels, syllables etc.) with the sound of something else (including its pitch). So, as said above, you could technically have it play harmonies but it wouldn't be your actual voice.
For example, the vocals on this song are entirely vocoder based:
