hi Florian,

for the Florian Schneider electronic poem, you have used the A129 vocoder, right

you have indeed achieved very clear results.

best regards,
Bakis.

If I understand it right, it provides some amount of the carrier signal

to the modulator chain. This carrier2modulator signal is compressed by

the incoming modulator signal (e.g. voice in the standard usage).



What I do not understand: this "pause signal" will be assumingly a very

wobbly sound, because the changes of overtone will be exponentiated bye

the self vocoding. Does it really sound good



And @ggtonet:



Additionally to the other recommendations I'd like to add:



You should have compressors for the Vocoder. At least one. You can use

an external compressor or a combination of A175 Inverter and A130 linear

VCA as used in Ingos example.



Then I suggest a second A119 Ext-In, to reassure, that your carrier

signal is at a correct level. Typical studio line signals have lower

level than the internal signals of the A100. If you don't adopt the

signal level, you will have a bad signal to noise ratio.



Also I recommend a high pass filter. There are at least two usages for it:

1.) Mix a little bit of the high frequencies of the original modulator

signal to the output. This increases the understandability of vocoded

speech extremely (I have made the well know example for the A129

http://www.youtube.com/watch v=pLRgjzEjFkM with this trick).

2.) taking away a littlebit of the bottom end of the modulator input

signal before the (recommended) compressor increases the overall "power"

of the final signal.
