that daftpunk voice?

mostblunted · Post by **mostblunted** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 2:42 pm

in harder better faster stronger they have that cool electro voice, and I was wondering if the 404 has some effects that could turn a normal singing voice or sample in something like that.

for those who don't remember the song:

You try screwing around with the pitch shift and voice transformer

It sounds like some sort of vocoder, 'cause madlib uses one to make his voice sound robotic like that on some quasimoto joints.

yeah vocoder, which the 404 doesnt really have.

you can probably get a vst one for free for your computer though

vocoders tend to benefit from a little distortion being applied to the voice pre-effect, so you could use the 404 to run a mic into, apply your customary distortion/overdrive, then feed the output into the vocoder

other than that the voice transfomer can do some neat tricks, but it's not as dynamic and responsive as a vocoder

i think its a talkbox. like the rocktron banshee. what peter frampton used to get that crazy vocal sound. you can actualy make a decent one out of an old computer speaker and some duct tape haha. heres a video on that.

The rocktron banshee is probably the best out there.

Talkbox with auto-tune.

If you have a V-Synth GT or V Synth XT Rack , you can do it in there as well since it has the Vocal Designer card built into it. That has the Talkbox emulators in it without having to use a tube in your mouth. Also using a talkbox takes alot of practice , its no walk in the park , its a true skill.

Thanks for the advice!

I went to G.C. and tried severel stuff and found that the microKORG (which I always wanted) has a vocoder that gets me a pretty good result.

I think I'll get one.

The microKorg is the shit!
