Vocoder: V-synth gt vs access virus

15 Jun 2010, 01:01

So out of curiosity, how is the vocoder on the Access Virus compared to the GT's? I tend to see (or see discussed) the virus doing lots of standard robot type vocoding, I haven't seen any sort of videos or audio doing what a GT can do (in terms of doing male/female type voices, and choruses and such). Any one out there play with both?

Since the Virus doesn't support importing samples (at least it didn't last time I checked), you are limited to analog and wavetable oscillators as your vocoder carrier. On the GT it can be anything - like human choir (so you can sing like 20 people), a distortion guitar (so you can make a talkbox effect), or even zone-switched sounds.

I will post some examples now.

Here is an example with human choir VariPhrase waveform used as carrier:

This one uses a side-band filtered noise as carrier:

This uses a supersaw going into a comb filter:

And here I switched between different zones with various waveforms using the arpeggiator:
