Vocoder modules Vocodizer

Hi. I´ve thought about buyin the vocodizer but aren´t there new vocoder modules in the modularIII? Could the vocodizer be just built upon them? And do you know mod3 vocoder patches which are compareable?

Forget Vocodizer, get Orbitone Vorb.. the lushest, most amazing vocoder I've ever heard.

fully agree - and it's more than a vocoder, much, much more...
I'd compare it to what spaceF's Echo is in the delay domain

cheers, Tom

Never did get a Mac-safe version though

I´m sure vorb is a superb vocoder. But what I wanted to know was if I would rather upgrade from ModII to ModIII than getting the vocodizer. Since I updated to SFP4 I con get one of them plugs for half price. And I read that there are new vocoder devices within ModIII. Is there a good ModIII vocoder patch out there?
Besides: Orbitone.org is offline?

the plugs you can have at half price are only the CWA ones, so the Vorb is not included. I would take immediatly an half price M III upgrade, not only for the vocoder modules that are very good, but for all the other modules and the tons of great patches you can find, vocoded or not....

You'll find a vocoder patch in the Modular Patches forum right now.

Incidentally, the Orbitone site relocated to here (I believe they lost the old domain after forgetting to re-register it):

BTW Rogurt, you do know you can get more than one half-price device

(that's how i got Vocodizer). Read all about it here, i think it still works.

I have checked the sound example of the vocoder patch above. Well interesting sound but I wanted a good (or better "classic") sounding vocoder like vocodizer (or some vorb examples). I could just imagine that there was a human voice synthesized. Has anyone heard other soundexamples of this patch. Or any other patch sounding more like "classic"?

When I tryed the demo of vocodizer I was blown away. If you want REALLY good vocoding, get it! It's the closest I've heard to those classic vocoders which cost thousands.

Sorry if I ask the same questions over and over. But I haven´t heard any statement if it would be possible to built a "vocodizer" patch within mod3. It is also possible to build the UKNOW in Modular because the standalones are built of the same circuits...
I ask myself if you actually GET the vocodizer in terms of modules for the mod3. I don´t want to spend double the money if I don´t have to.

No you cannot achieve the same level of quality from the modular vs. the Vocodizer. The vocoder modules in MODIII seem as though their based on the VocoderIII included with the effects package II.

Thanx...

Any time!

Rugurt, I've made to myself same question than yours, indipendently...

And I answered.
See my actual VocoderPRO44 44 bands MONO and Vocoder VocoderPRO33ST 33 bands STEREO here:
http://www.planetz.com/forums/viewtopic ... forum=15&3

Used with right carrier signals in my opinion they are killers.
Now I'm working on a 55 bands... (but it's tuely the limit).

Thanx - but I´ve already bought the vocodizer instead of the ModIII.
But I´m still very interested in how poeaple think your patch sounds compared to the vocodizer...

alfonso · Post by **alfonso** » Wed Sep 01, 2004 10:52 am

I have both. Vocoder modules are very good, and as bob4u has shown they can achieve killer results. They are very good to build special configurations, for example I made a simple Vocoder patch where the Synth sound or whatever you play in it just passes uneffected until you input any signal in the analysis path, in wich case the instrument gets vocodized by that signal:

On the other side the Vocodizer has another flavour, and it's superb i.m.o. If you want that full vintage Vocoder sound, it's fantastic.

Vorb is another flavour again, killer sound, extremely powerful and a character on his own...consider only that it's made by the same people whe designed FleXor, that's to say the most incredible sounding filters for the platform.

If you are a fanatical vocoder user, you shouldn't miss anyone of the three..
