Zynaptiq's Orange Vocoder IV does a lot more than robot vocals. Here are three real vocal production techniques you can use today.
In this video, Luke puts Zynaptiq's Orange Vocoder IV through three practical vocal production techniques...
First, classic vocoded textures: layering a vocal modulator over the plugin's built-in synth and choosing from 24 vocoding algorithms that you can hover over and audition before committing to a sound.
Second, Orange Vocoder IV's built-in effects, using the onboard chorus to widen and thicken the vocoded signal without ever leaving the plugin.
Third, the PQ (pitch quantize) section, which generates a brand-new MIDI-driven harmony line from an existing top line for a deliberately mechanised, tuned effect that's distinct from a standard pitch correction plugin.
Each technique is demonstrated live against a real vocal, so you can hear exactly how the vocoded textures, the chorus widening and the pitch-quantized harmony sit alongside the dry top line. If you're new to vocoding, or just want to see what a modern vocoder plugin can do beyond the classic "talking synth" effect, this is a practical look at Orange Vocoder IV in a real vocal production workflow.
For the full write-up alongside the techniques shown here, head to the accompanying article on Production Expert.
