| 2282.1 | vocoder time | LEDDEV::ROSS | shiver me timbres.... | Wed Mar 07 1990 11:06 | 27 |

Coupla solutions:
Use a sampler for ooh and ahh.
Use a vocoder. Roland and Korg made them. Yes, past
tense. So the problem is where to find one and how much you
have to spend...There was a circuit in Elec. Musician a year
or two ago that's about the same....give em a call and get
reprint?
The 'tube' thing (made infamous by Frampton...) is actually
a PA horn driver connected to a hose. Stick the hose in your
mouth, drive the driver with what ever sound you want, and
pick up the 'new' formants with a mike.
Either one can be polyphonic. The vocoder adds the formant
of a mike input (your voice) to the 'sound' (keyboard/guitar/etc).
The Roland unit is quite good, but can sound munchkin-like
at times. At least it doesnt vibrate your adams apple....
If you just want oohs and ahhs, tho.......samples should do!

| Use the 'tube' thing long/loud enough and all you will be able to say
are 'ooohs' and 'aahhhs'. Nice way to check out how well your fillings
(and caps if you're a star) are set. Not from experience, just what I've
heard.

| 2282.3 | look at Joe Walsh | SWAV1::STEWART | As a matter of fact, it's all dark | Wed Mar 07 1990 11:38 | 14 |

Prolong use may cause brain damage, too!

| 2282.4 | or get backup singers! | MILKWY::JANZEN | Noting is a privilege not a right | Wed Mar 07 1990 11:57 | 10 |
| PAiA makes a vocoder kit for $100. I had one. It was OK but would be
better with compressor/limiter on both the voice and the instrument
inputs.
Sampling should work.
Can DECvoice sing? In about 1982 I heard a speak-n-spell wired up to
sing along with a guitar in real time pitch follow on New Music
America.

I bought one of those digitech smartshift thingies.
My Oohs are better then ever. My Ahs is just like it always was.
Worth the money if you can get one cheap !

Yes! A colleague of mine has some _very_ entertaining songs for the DECtalk.

| 2282.7 | Filter/vocoder treatment of samples? | KALLON::EIRIKUR | Good tines, bad tines, you know.... | Thu Mar 08 1990 11:39 | 8 |
| Haven't tried this, but...
You might try filtering (tight-bandpass) the samples, or vocoding them to get
other vowels. I keep meaning to give this a shot because my sample players
only have "ahhh" in them.

Calling Ed Cote.. calling Ed Cote. Where's your suggestion?

| 2282.10 | remember patchcords? | UNXA::LEGA | Bug Busters Incorporated | Fri Mar 09 1990 13:33 | 12 |

You can use two serial wired bandpass filters with each
set to different frequencies to get formant sounds.
I used to do this on a modular moog with great results.
ie:
source -> splitter > filter1 > filter2 > mixer > out
