It's been over a year since my last attempt, and I was wondering if anyone is successfully using a VOCODER plug-in, and mic thru the front panel on their Receptor?
My early research found that it would have to sit in the effects (as opposed to an instrument)
At that time, there wasn't a method of getting an VST instrument into the Effects Bank; therefore, no way to channel a mic signal through it.
Please tell me something has changed.
Time to check on this again...

Yes you can run a vocoder in the Receptor. Here's the way I do it. Put the vocoder plugin in one of the effects buses. Add a channel for your mic input (either a guitar input or line input). Next add a synth channel that will be modulated by the vocoder. Choose a sound that has little to no filtering Both of these channels must be removed from the main mix. To do this click on the "OUTPUT" box just above the channel number. When the window opens click the corresponding channel and remove it from the main outputs. Pan the synth channel to the right and the mic channel to the left.

FYI Vokator (Naitive Instruments) works fine. I just choose the guitar input for the channel, plug the mic into that, and load Vokator in one of the in-line effects on that channel. Pick a preset and you good to go.
Not crazy about having to do xlr -> 1/4", but it does work great.

Jayvee, I use the Talkbox plugin from mda. It is free! I believe I installed it as an unregistered plugin.

This is really coo, Billunatic. But I'm getting lost in how you are doing the signal routing... how exactly is the synth getting modulated by the Vocoder when its on the effects bus... or are you saying you take the synth, un-route it from the mix bus, send it through the effects bus to the Vocator on one channel (say left) and then send guitar or mic to the other (say right) channel, but having that also removed from the mix bus?billunatic wrote:Yes you can run a vocoder in the Receptor.

I have to say that is exceptionally clever! Love to speak to you more about this if you wouldn't mind sending me a PM...
