How does a vocoder turn a voice into a synth?. Explain vocoder basics in under a minute using a simple visual metaphor: one signal provides the words (voice) and another provides the tone (synth), then show how bands shape the robotic effect. Use quick A-B audio examples (dry voice, dry synth, vocoded result) and end with one practical tip for clearer vocoder articulation.

Transcript

Imagine a vocoder as a painter combining two signals: one provides the words—the voice modulator—and the other supplies the tone—the synth carrier. The vocoder splits the voice into multiple frequency bands and uses them to shape the synth tone, crafting a striking robotic effect. Hear the transformation in three quick steps: first a dry voice, then a dry synth, and finally the vocoded result where the bands sculpt a new, electrifying sound. For clearer articulation, over-articulate your words so each band captures maximum detail, ensuring your vocoder effect remains crisp and intelligible.
