vocoding

[nova]

how much are people using a vocoder in techno?. i kno its for twisting vocals and making synths sound like there talking (well i think anyway hehe). and the 1 on virus b is a basterd to get going. never realy seen any post's mentioning the vocoder.

I`m using a vocoder for some of my more song based stuff.
It`s nothing new though. Carl hyde from underworld might as well have one attatched to his throat, the amount he uses it.

Ther are great fun.

Good for running beats through and turning them into melodies.

haha yeah man. so i heard they use't to use um in the war to distort voice's over the radio's. so yeah not a new thing. yeah i could imagin some perc going thru 1 would be nice. i aint got a plugin 1 tho only on my virus. its easy to get going when running sounds thru the effects input on virus. just not when using internal sounds on virus :doh:

Vocoders are a blood stain on the carpet of humanity.

They are also an interesting way of EQing.
