Versatile 16-band vocoder for detailed sound shaping
The VC16 features a 16-band vocoder, allowing for precise control over speech and vocal articulation. Each band carefully processes different frequency ranges, ensuring clarity and intelligibility while maintaining the character of the input signal. Whether used for robotic voices, harmonic layering, or experimental sound design, the VC16 provides the flexibility needed for creative expression.
Six synthesis engines for diverse sonic possibilities
With six built-in synthesis engines, including analog modeling, noise, FM, and Vox, the VC16 offers extensive sound design potential. These engines allow users to generate everything from warm analog-style tones to complex, evolving textures. This makes the VC16 not just a vocoder but a powerful synthesis tool within a modular setup.
External carrier input for creative modulation
The external carrier input expands the VC16’s versatility by letting users process external sounds as the carrier signal. This means you can apply vocoder effects to drum loops, synth pads, or even other instruments, opening up endless creative possibilities. The adjustable level control ensures smooth integration with different signal sources.
MIDI connectivity for seamless control
The built-in MIDI input allows for easy connection with keyboards, sequencers, and DAWs. This ensures precise pitch tracking and enhanced playability, making it simple to integrate the VC16 into both live and studio environments. Whether triggering vocoder effects from a MIDI controller or syncing with external gear, the VC16 makes workflow seamless and efficient.
