Vocoder without Robot Voice

Post by andalve »

Hi mates,
May you please help me setting up a vocoder program that doesn't have any effect? Is this possible on the Kronos?
i just need to get the sound of my natural voice but with the notes on the kronos. If it is not possible then is there an alternative?
Thank you!!!!

You're talking about a hard pitch corrector I guess. That's not a vocoder and not possible on Kronos.

For that, you'll need something that does "real time" autotune.

There's a few plug-ins that will do that (not sure what they are though), but Novation's Mininova/Ultranova or the Electro Harmonix V256 are hardware alternatives.

Antares Autotune and Izotope Nectar spring to mind. Logic also has a built in one. Not sure if they let you play the notes live though. I'm sure Autotune does that.

Is this the kind of vocoder sound you are looking for? Not robotic and choir like.

So can we reproduce this or not with our Kronos? I'm also curious if we can like the PAX3.

You cannot reproduce that Pa3X thing (has TC Helicon voice effects module inside) - harmonizer etc - with Kronos Vocoder IFX.

Unfortunatly, there is no Harmonizer in the Kronos.

In a vocoder, your voice drives a synth sound which tries to reproduce your voice with several filters, and you decide the notes to be played with the keyboards. But the overall sound is played by a synth.

An harmonizer is a "real time" sampler that make chords with your voice, by copying and detuning the original signal to make chords, decided by your fingers or an arranger.
