Octatrack wish: Vocoder

hey,

this should not be a big deal as new effect…
to rout one track to the next as Vocoder? – hmm, this would be tasty.

I quite like this one - it’d work nicely with the various machines too.

I’d like to see some more FX in general added to be honest.

This would be amazing. Though I think probably easiest for Elektron to implement would be a vocoder which is modulated by inputs rather than another track.

+1 but we have been asking for a vocoder since the MNM was released :astonished:

Do you mean for Daft Punk ‘One More Time’ type stuff or is there some other use for a vocoder?

Isn’t Daft Punk more talk box than vocoder? Subtle difference perhaps but a talk box is much easier to get the Daft Punk vibe than a vocoder but I’d imagine that’s the sort of vibe we’re looking for!

Vocoders are great for turning samples into synthy sort of sounds. If you look at how NI’s The Mouth works I can see that being great for using with the OT and samples.

If you have Ableton Live, run a drum loop through the vocoder effect and play around with it. You can get some interesting sounds using non-vocal material through them; I can see it being done Elektron style as a cool effect.

+1 for a Vocoder/Talking Synth

not only for Daftpunk —

+1 on VOCODER…that would be amazing.

Sorry to dig up and old thread but I was interested in this wish as well and found this thread. Possible this could happen someday vocoder as an effect in the octatrack ?

No.

Elektron will probably never release “real” updates any more, just bugfixes.

which tbh is probably a good thing - there is zero chance of a vocoder, zero !!

Hahaha! Black Moth Super Rainbow/Tobacco pretty much the only exception to the ‘vocoder generally sucks’ rule :wink:

I’m kind of disappointed to be honest. There is so much potential in this machine and people still buying it and use it alot but Elektron doesn’t really seem to care.
And I don’t mean crazy new features, but some basic stuff is still missing. I love the OT but I’m still really disappointed by Elektron.

What “basic stuff” do you think is missing?

Naming tracks :wink: + recording note off data… There’s other stuff too but we’re prob on the verge of derailing thread here :wink:

Correct! In both cases :smiley: I’m just frustrated by Elektrons update policy for the OT.
