In this tutorial, Point Blank lecturer, Dan Herbert, demonstrates how vocoders work, using our very own free vocoder plugin for Ableton Live’s Max for Live.
Homer Dudley initially developed vocoders at the Bell Labs in the 1930s, whilst he was experimenting with speech synthesis. Vocoders work using a modulator signal, like a voice or drum beat, and a carrier signal, such as a sustained pad or synth sound. These signals are then split through a number of bandpass filters that combine and output the common frequency between the two signals. An iconic use of that robotic-vocal sound, created by a vocoder, can be found in Kraftwerk’s 1978 track, ‘The Robots‘.

During the video, Dan demonstrates how our new vocoder works, showing how you can transform a drum beat into a robotic vocal sound. He runs through the different parameters, revealing how you can get the most out of Point Blank’s free vocoder plugin.
