I know. With a vocoder we quasi can give a guitar the envelope of a drum, but especially for "talking" instruments even stand alone multi band hardware vocoders can be a PITA, while Auto-Tune can make vocals sound like a talking instrument very easy. I guess also a guitar pitched by Auto-Tune can make the guitar sound like a guitar synth, but without the annoying latency guitar synth do have for the low strings. Just theoretical spoken, because I never used Auto-Tune, but I used a vocoder at home and played guitar synth in music stores. I guess a talkbox is a good alternative for my needs, but I don't like to tinker one and I don't want to have a flexible tube in the mouth. For Windows I've got a good vocoder that is using single audio channels, I guess this is needed to modify the EQs for the "carrier or better modulating signal" and for the "modulated signal" independently. Btw. for guitar there are very good filters available that make a guitar sound like a synth, e.g. Native Instrument's guitar rig, but I don't know something similar for Linux, resp. I guess Phasex is able to use any input instead of it's own oscillators, I still need to test if this is fine for usage with a guitar. Maybe I'll test the possibilities of autotalent or Phasex today. And I guess there are some vocoders for Linux, I still need to test them too. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
