What Does A Vocoder Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A vocoder is a unique kind of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mixxed.com\/blog\/how-does-sound-design-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">synthesizer<\/a><\/strong> that <strong>manipulates how vocals sound<\/strong>. Think back to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mixxed.com\/blog\/how-does-fm-synthesis-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FM synthesis<\/a><\/strong> and the relationship between <strong>modulators<\/strong> and <strong>carriers<\/strong>. Vocoders use a very similar process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you after a <strong>robotic sound<\/strong> to spice up your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mixxed.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mixxed<\/a><\/strong> <strong>vocal samples<\/strong>? A vocoder is the one! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vocoders Explained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vocoders need <strong>two sound sources<\/strong>. One is a carrier, and one is a modulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like in <strong>FM synthesis<\/strong>, your <strong>carrier <\/strong>is your <strong>initial sound source<\/strong>. In this case, it would be a synth that you made by reading our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mixxed.com\/blog\/?s=Define+Synthesis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Define Synthesis<\/a><\/strong> series!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And again, your <strong>modulator <\/strong>is the sound whose <strong>harmonic characteristics manipulate<\/strong> the frequency of the carrier and shape its sound. The modulator would be your vocals or your chosen vocal samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as these two sound sources, vocoders <strong>use filters<\/strong> that are adapted to the <strong>modulator frequency<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the filters come into the chain, the vocoder <strong>analyse <\/strong>your modulator vocals and <strong>split your audio<\/strong> into <strong>different frequency bands<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More frequency bands<\/strong> = <strong>a more realistic final sound<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the vocoder has analysed the modulator, your audio is recreated and <strong>sent through bandpass filters<\/strong> (each frequency band <strong>gets its own filter<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the level of each frequency band has been sent as a signal to the filters, the <strong>carrier signal<\/strong> is sent <strong>through the filters<\/strong> too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that the carrier signal has been sent through the filters, the <strong>vocoder raises<\/strong> or <strong>lowers<\/strong> the level of <strong>each individual filter<\/strong> &#8211; all <strong>depending on the harmonics<\/strong> of your <strong>modulator signal<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the <strong>carrier signal<\/strong> is <strong>filtered<\/strong> so its <strong>harmonic content<\/strong> that <strong>does pass through<\/strong> is <strong>similar to the harmonic content<\/strong> of the <strong>modulator signal<\/strong>&#8230; pretty cool, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mixxed.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Use-a-Vocoder-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1532 lazyload\" width=\"691\" height=\"388\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Use-a-Vocoder-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Use-a-Vocoder-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Use-a-Vocoder-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Use-a-Vocoder-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Use-a-Vocoder-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Use-a-Vocoder-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Use-a-Vocoder-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Use-a-Vocoder-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Use-a-Vocoder-960x540.jpg 960w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Use-a-Vocoder-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Use-a-Vocoder-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Use-a-Vocoder-1920x1080.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto\" \/><figcaption>Arturia Vocoder V, Source: Arturia<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use a Vocoder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to get super duper results from your vocoder, it&#8217;s best to use a <strong>carrier signal<\/strong> that is <strong>rich in harmonic content<\/strong> like a saw wave at the very least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more harmonic content that you provide your vocoder, the <strong>more evident<\/strong> the <strong>modulation effects<\/strong> will be. A sine wave or triangle wave won&#8217;t bring you an ultra robotic sound as a sawtooth or square wave will!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> A handy little tip I&#8217;ve learned is to <strong>compress your carrier signal<\/strong> before it hits the vocoder, as well as a <strong>slight bit<\/strong> of <strong>saturation<\/strong>. By limiting the signals&#8217; dynamic range, the <strong>effects <\/strong>of the <strong>filters <\/strong>will be <strong>more evident<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to your voice\/modulator signal, don&#8217;t hold back!<strong> Pronounce words clearly<\/strong> than you would in an everyday conversation. The <strong>harmonic content compared<\/strong> to the <strong>carrier signal<\/strong> will be <strong>different<\/strong>, so for a <strong>distinguishable vocoder effect<\/strong>, it&#8217;s important to choose words that contain a lot of <strong>vowels<\/strong>, for example. The golden ticket is to focus on the <strong>characteristics of your voice<\/strong>. Make it as <strong>clear as possible<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mixxed.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Vocoder-Parameters-Mixxed-Blog-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1534 lazyload\" width=\"639\" height=\"359\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Vocoder-Parameters-Mixxed-Blog-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Vocoder-Parameters-Mixxed-Blog-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Vocoder-Parameters-Mixxed-Blog-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Vocoder-Parameters-Mixxed-Blog-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Vocoder-Parameters-Mixxed-Blog-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Vocoder-Parameters-Mixxed-Blog-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Vocoder-Parameters-Mixxed-Blog-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Vocoder-Parameters-Mixxed-Blog-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Vocoder-Parameters-Mixxed-Blog-960x540.jpg 960w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Vocoder-Parameters-Mixxed-Blog-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Vocoder-Parameters-Mixxed-Blog-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/create.routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Vocoder-Parameters-Mixxed-Blog-1920x1080.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto\" \/><figcaption>OVox Vocal Resynthesis, Source: Waves<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vocoder Parameters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bands<\/strong> are the number of <strong>frequency bands<\/strong> that the <strong>modulator signal is split into<\/strong>. We said before that the more bands there are the more realistic the output will be. <strong>8 &#8211; 12 bands<\/strong> will give you a classic vocoder sound, but <strong>upping the bands<\/strong> will enable you to get <strong>really creative<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frequency range<\/strong> is the <strong>upper <\/strong>and <strong>lower limits <\/strong>of the <strong>carrier signal<\/strong> frequency that&#8217;s accepted by the vocoder. For <strong>a <strong>distinguishable<\/strong> vocoder output signal<\/strong>, <strong>raise the upper limit<\/strong> above <strong>5 kHz<\/strong> and see if you like what you hear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Formant<\/strong>, which may also be referred to as <strong>shift<\/strong>, <strong>increases <\/strong>or <strong>decreases <\/strong>the <strong>frequency of the filters<\/strong>. Depending on whether the filters are <strong>attenuated <\/strong>or <strong>increased<\/strong>, the output will sound <strong>brighter or deeper<\/strong>. Some vocoders, however, have a &#8220;<strong>gender<\/strong>&#8221; parameter. This is because <strong>formant <\/strong>can <strong>manipulate <\/strong>the <strong>output <\/strong>to <strong>sound like it&#8217;s a male or a female voice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unvoiced<\/strong>, or <strong>plosives<\/strong>, are a <strong>natural part of human speech<\/strong>. They&#8217;re produced when we make a <strong>consonant <\/strong>(a <strong>letter that isn&#8217;t a vowel<\/strong>) that needs <strong>air to blow<\/strong> through our <strong>lips<\/strong>. If you&#8217;ve recorded vocals, you&#8217;ve dealt with these before. The two culprits who cause problems more than others are &#8220;<strong>p<\/strong>&#8221; &amp; &#8220;<strong>b<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of digital vocoders can <strong>find these airy sounds<\/strong> because they cover a <strong>specific frequency range<\/strong> as they&#8217;re produced from <strong>pitched <\/strong>and <strong>vibrating vocal cord sounds<\/strong>. With the use of an &#8220;<strong>Unvoiced<\/strong>&#8221; knob, you can <strong>mix a noise generator<\/strong> in with your <strong>carrier signal <\/strong>so the <strong>unpitched transient sounds<\/strong> of unvoiced sounds remain <strong>audible <\/strong>in your output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Define Synthesis: Bonus We couldn&#8217;t help ourselves&#8230; You, my trusty synthesis enthusiast, have followed us from the beginning of time (last week) where we forged the steel of synthesis methods and pledged to learn them all!
