Voice bot is a real time channel vocoder. A vocoder takes the spectral information of one sound also known as a modulator and uses it to shape another sound called a carrier. The resulting sound is a bit like a singing robot. Use the microphone to play live or record your own loops for playback, with a few different trigger modes using the keyboard. Further process the sound with a bit and sample crusher, delay and flanger. Play with the built in 25 key dynamic keyboard or using core MIDI with options for MPE. Run voice bot stand alone on iPad and iPhone or as a AUv3 plugin in your favourite host. Connections to other apps are also available through Audiobus and Inter Appp Audio. +++ Microphone input +++ Vocoder with up 128 filter bands +++ Polyphonic carrier source or Mono with glide settings +++ Built in 3 Oscillator carrier source, with saw, square and noise shapes +++ Record or import carrier sample loops +++ Freeze spectrum +++ Bit and sample rate crusher +++ Pitch tracking using Yin algorithm +++ 4 tap stereo delay +++ flanger +++ Multiple sample loop trigger modes +++ 25 key dynamic keyboard +++ Core Midi, Bluetooth Midi, Inter App Audio Midi and AUv3 MIDI +++ Midi CC available for all audio parameters +++ Limited MPE Midi support +++ Modulateble parameters: bands, bit crush, sample crush, delay feedback, flanger mix, vibrator and pitch bend

About

Matrix Vocoder

Transform your voice into an electronic instrument with this app, simulating classic analog vocoder sounds. It analyzes input signals, performs spectral analysis, and reassembles synthetic speech using filter banks and replacement signals.

Highlights
  • 32 channel filterbank with analog filters
  • Stereophonic synthesis with alias-free oscillators
  • External carrier input
  • Voiced/Unvoiced detection and pitch tracking
  • Formant shift
  • Patchbay for channel connection
  • 16 internal oscillators for choir sounds

Matrix Vocoder transforms your voice into an electronic instrument! The Vocoder was invented by Homer Dudley in the mid-30's of the last century. Dudley worked at Bell Laboratories, and this is where the first Vocoder took shape. The Matrix Vocoder is designed to properly simulate the classic analog Vocoder sound made famous e.g. by the music of the german band Kraftwerk. At there last world tour they used in fact the PC version of our Matrix Vocoder on stage ! The epic Cylon Robot voice is The basic function of a Vocoder is characterised by an analysis of the input signal, usually speech but other type of inputs can also be very interesting. In a special filter bank, a spectral analysis is performed and signals are developed which follows the amount of spectral energy in each channel. Another part of the analyser tests if there are unvoiced or voiced sounds at any particular time and extracts the pitch of the voiced sounds. The output section of the vocoder consists of a stereophonic synthesis filter bank which assembles the new synthetic speech from the characteristic filter envelopes from the analysis stage together with an external or internal replacement signal. - 32 channel Filterbank with 8-pole Butterworth analog filters - Stereophonic synthesis with analog modelled alias free oscillators. - External carrier possible ( left channel = voice / right channel = carrier ) - Voiced/Unvoiced detection - Pitch tracking - Formant shift - Matrix uses patchbay to connect analysis and synthesis channels. - Pan position and level for each channel. - 16 internal oscillators with unlimited voices for choir like sounds. - Stereo wide panorama parameter for internal generator. - Optional monophonic generator with Glide setting. - Internal noise generator. - Effect AudioUnit and Music Effect AudioUnit - stand alone / Audiobus 3 / IAA
