I was working on a vocoder for some time and since the envelope follower can run at audio rate I have a version that I would like to share.

Here is the vocoder including a setup:

You need a carrier sound, the one that will define what you will hear at the end, and which needs to have a quite rich spectrum, like a saw wave.
And you need a modulator, that is often speech or any other source you want to give a new timbre - the timbre of the carrier.

In my example i use racks to hold the necessary parts. To get the second input on the vocoder rack, increase the number of AUX Inputs of that rack to 1. Now you connect carrier and modulator.

Besides the volume of each frequency band, try the attack and release values for best results.

It's funny, because I am also trying to make a vocoder, here is my attempt...
There is only one audio input, the modulator signal must be panned full left and the carrier signal must be panned full right.

Thanks a lot for sharing these patches

What about combining the best aspects of both patches into a collaborative vocoder?!

And then add it to the factory presets?

I was wondering if there is a place where we can share MUX presets, or we have to inspect all the forum topics to find them ?

Hi pquenin
not yet,but there is a thread started by sl 23 that talks about this.

It's on my short term todo, just not sure if it will be before or after M7 release. Lets assume after. Already had a draft look at it, i'm looking at a google drive solution.

Sorry to continue this hijack, but just one suggestion if you decide to use Google Drive, have some kind of categorisation setup for FX at least. Rather than by Author. Presets can start their names with the Author if necessary. Though simply putting a text file in a zip with each Mux that contains descriptions, version, etc, would be the best and neatest solution.
