## What is VOCAB?

VOCAB-80 speaks.

FREE TO PLAY
Download it free and play the whole instrument: every pad, word, phrase, voice and effect. One payment of £1.99 unlocks recording and sharing, saving your own presets, and the Audio Unit plugin. No subscription, no ads.

Tap a pad and it says a word in the voice of a vintage speech chip, a robot, a vocoder or something stranger. Tap near the top of a pad for a softer voice, near the bottom for a harder one. Play several pads at once and the words stack into chords of speech.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• Words — 12 pads, each saying a word. Hold any pad to choose from 380 words across categories.
• Phrases — whole sentences on a single pad.
• Synth — play the voice itself like an instrument, up and down the keyboard.

SHAPE THE VOICE
• 8 voice characters, from Vintage Digital and Robotic to Metallic, Alien and Vocoder
• Pitch, formant, speed and filter controls
• Four macros — Robot, Alien, Old School and Chaos — that move many settings at once
• Delay, reverb, drive and bit-crush effects
• Vocoder mode: sing or talk into the microphone and VOCAB-80 shapes your voice

PRESETS
28 factory presets across Retro, Robot, Sci-Fi, Vocoder, Electronic, House, Techno, Lo-Fi, Experimental, FX, Bass and Leads — and save your own.

RECORD AND SHARE
Press REC to capture a take, then save it to Files, AirDrop it, or send it straight to another app. (Full version.)

AUDIO UNIT PLUGIN
VOCAB-80 is also an AUv3 instrument. Load it in GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, Logic for iPad and other hosts, play it from a MIDI keyboard, and keep every setting saved inside your project. (Full version.)

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No ads. No tracking. VOCAB-80 works completely offline and collects nothing. The microphone is used only while Vocoder mode is on.

Made by Play Northwest CIC, a community music organisation in the North West of England.
