Vocoder VC16

The Behringer Vocoder VC16 is a comprehensive and authentic analog vocoder designed for the Eurorack format, bringing the classic sound of robotic voices and synthesized choirs to your modular system. A vocoder works by analyzing the harmonic content of one sound (the modulator, typically a voice) and imposing that character onto another sound (the carrier, typically a synthesizer). The VC16 provides all the necessary components for this process in a single, intuitive module, allowing you to easily create those iconic vocal effects heard in countless electronic music tracks.

The VC16 is a true analog 16-band vocoder, which provides a high level of detail and intelligibility in the vocoding process. It features a built-in microphone preamplifier for connecting a dynamic microphone directly, as well as dedicated inputs for both the modulator and carrier signals. The module also includes an internal oscillator that can be used as a carrier signal, simplifying the setup process. With controls for sensitivity, pitch, and dedicated level faders for each of the 16 filter bands, you have precise control over the character of the vocoded sound. This module is a powerful tool for adding unique vocal textures and complex filtering effects to your Eurorack patches.
