KVR Audio

Well if the vocoder doesn't contain a synth of it's own and is only a filter bnk then you need to hook up a synth of your choice and whatever target audio you want to mangle.

Personally I'm very satisfied with the Image-Line vocoder. I think it sounds absolutely fantastic.

For a different flavor of vocoder I love the one Tone2 built into ElectraX.

But if they can truly nail the old Roland VP sound then I'm all for it!

Cheers!

one man's PITA is another man's two clicks.
you're not cubase then...
yes i am and i don't find it cumbersome at all; place a vocoder as an insert, open a midi track, play!

what's so difficult with that?

I haven't got any installed atm(got vocodex by i.l.), when i tried i found it confusing(i did get it to work), i bought a plugiator and that has a vocoder built in that was way to use and sounded good, so never tried vocodex ever again when i got my new pc...so i don't really know if it is difficult to me now...

The VP330 tip looks pretty good looking at the user list at VSE

My VP 330 is also a wonderfull string machine, with a divider per octave engine, that gives it its very particular character, that you cant achieve with samples, or standard analog strings engines.

I also like it's choir sounds.

...but maybe with a vst emulation?

They could have used VP330's choirs and strings more than its vocoding.

I'm pretty psyched for anything new coming out of XILS.

And happy to hear there may be an upcoming group buy for Oxium!

is that a hint?

Well its just that I own a real VP 330

The only sure thing is that Oxium 1.5 will be released very soon, with a lot of goodies, new features, enhanced ergonomy of the masks, enhanced GUI etc etc.

As for the jawdropping promo, it wont happen anymore. Sorry you missed it Theo.

Very true, plus actually you can use whatever signal you want to feed the input of a vocoder. It can give some very surprising results, from ultra smooth to really weird.

as a vocoder probably not among the best of the analogs ...but the choir and strings on it are AMAZING.
dunno what the secret to them are..whether the chorus or else...but it has a fantastic charm.
