Yeah, or anything else really. Vocoders can be used for a lot of stuff. In a typical vocoder example, vocals are only used for analysis, with the resulting spectrum then forced upon another sound, for example a synth chord. Thus making the synth chord “talk”. So what you’re hearing is actually the synth chord, shaped by the vocal spectrum.
So what you could try is just a synth chord (preferably with a rich harmonic spectra), and nitty-gritty program the volume envelopes on the eight different tracks.
Oh, cool
If you used a specific machine to achieve it, you can post it in the science lab thread for that machine. If you used several machines, you can use the Oddballs thread:
Sounds like you’ve maxed your bad luck ![]()
I’ve had little time to play around lately, but I’ll try to remember to test it the next time I’m on my ST.
