Key Features
The Arturia Vocoder V is a voice and sample transformation suite and vocoder combining synth and voice analysis into one comprehensive VST. From robot speech to rich harmonised textures, the original 1967 16-band Vocoder was a powerful tool spanning across genres, and now Arturia has brought it to the modern age with a range of modern enhancements.
Now with a built-in analog synth, a dedicated sampler, and cutting-edge FX, Arturia's Vocoder V opens up vocoding possibilities to near-endless limits. Transform vocals into FM basslines, turn drum loops into synthy chord sequences or take your ambient samples and shape them into harmonic drones, anything is possible.
Utilising exclusive True Analog Emulation (TAE) technology, Arturia has meticulously modelled every component of the original 16-channel vocoder capturing the signature sound and behaviour down to every detail. Now you can access this timeless transformer of vocals in a modern workflow, and take advantage of the Advanced Panel, offering a host of features to unlock expanded sonic potentials.
Product Ref: 254655
Capture an essentially classic sound that has been the focal point of a huge range of hit tracks, from Daft Punk's signature robotic vocals to the ever-catchy Mr Blue Sky. Vocoder V exceeds sonic expectations to go beyond robot vocals and give you the ability to produce vowel-like synth sounds, re-synthesized samples or even otherworldly resonant drums. From processed drum loops to voices, you can put any sound through Vocoder V's powerful carrier. Centred around an extensive patch bay, Vocoder V's interface is ready to take vocoding further than ever before with near-endless flexibility. An authentic reimagining of the original modulator section lets you sculpt vocal response in detail before moving further along the chain. Once carefully sculpted, Vocoder V's carrier controls instantaneously shift and modulate in two contrasting contexts for unique sounds. From Giorgio Moroder to Daft Punk to Wendy Carlos, the vocal morphing, synthesizer morphing, and timbre-weaving powers of the Vocoder can be heard all over countless albums and soundtracks. It even found its way onto some of John Carpenter's iconic movie scores. From disco to death metal to deep techno inspiration, Vocoder V has you covered over a huge variety of styles.
Every component has been modelled to produce an authentic representation of precisely how and why the original Vocoder achieved its signature character and behaviours. Arturia has meticulously reproduced the dual-oscillator analog layout, along with envelope and shaping controls straight from the original. Offering double the control over your vocoder's sound in a single interface, and heaps of analog warmth, you can produce rich sounds ready to capture the attention of your listeners.
Bringing it up to modern standards, Arturia have included a selection of well thought out enhancements without compromising the signature sound and character. Hidden discretely beneath the surface of the interface is an advanced panel waiting to unlock expanded sonic potential. In the advanced panel, Arturia has included a built-in synthesizer module, sample player, and a range of creative enhancements that all work together to provide a fully integrated vocoding and re-synthesis toolkit.
The comprehensive synthesiser carrier section gives the full range of synthesis parameters you've come to expect for any and all vocoding purposes. Make exciting futuristic robot noises, warm polyphonic chord sequences, frequency-modulated basslines, or lush ambiences that are signature to a classic analog synth, but uniquely attributed to your vocals and samples.
If vocals aren't your strong suit Vocoder V offers an integrated sampler ready to be played straight from your keyboard or MIDI input. Either choose one of many samples included in Vocoder V's extensive library, from snappy vocal stems to ambient field recordings, or load up your own to edit, stretch, and process however you like.
Arturia has included a wide range of other modern enhancements that take sonic possibilities to the next level, such as vocal loops with pitch tracking. Track an incoming vocal signal's pitch to be followed by the modulator synth section, with no additional input required. Furthermore, Vocoder V's extended modulation features offer up to 30 possible destinations for complex and intricate sounds that will capture the attention of any listener. Easily program an envelope follower, LFO, and assignable controls that can be instantaneously tweaked or bypassed. Finally, Arturia brings three effects slots to the vocoding workflow to distort, colour, or refine your sounds. Enhance metallic vocals with a classic phaser, or tear down pads into oblivion with a flexible bit crusher. Whether routed in series or parallel, there are 11 powerful effects algorithms to take your sounds to the next level.
Using proprietary modelling algorithms, Vocoder V is able to recreate the iconic instruments down to the component parts to create unrivalled realism and immersion. Unmatched in analog emulation, Vocoder V is powered by TAE and Phi technologies. TAE offers component-level modelling to accurately present the characteristics and behaviour of the instrument, whilst Phi's state-of-the-art physical modelling brings the acoustic properties into the virtual world for hyper-realism. The result is truly a next-level sound that is indistinguishable from the original to add to your productions.
"This is probably the most powerful Vocoder I own." - Robert Dudzic (Composer / Sound designer - Ready Player One, Guardians of the Galaxy)
"I'm having a lot of fun with the Vocoder V, singing all day long! The Line between hardware and software is so blurred now that there's no point in debating anymore. Just make some good music!" - Stefano Ritteri (DJ / Producer)
"Vocoder V feels like an analog classic and fresh new instrument at the same time. The sound design possibilities are absolutely limitless. This synth is quickly finding its way into most of my compositions." - Ben Van Vlissingen (Composer / Producer)
