Vocoding in a New Dimension

Powered by an extremely high-resolution FFT spectral engine, VOKATOR
defines a new standard for vocoding transparency, detail, and
smoothness. In addition to an exceptional vocoder, VOKATOR boasts a
sophisticated synthesizer and a granular sampler: a virtual
sound-fusion laboratory. With advanced features and multiple modes of
operation, VOKATOR opens vast new worlds of sound-design
possibilities.


The Vocoding Engine

VOKATOR's FFT spectral engine is a milestone in vocoder development.
Previous vocoders used eight, sixteen, twenty, or even thirty-two
frequency bands . the more frequency bands, the smoother and creamier
the effect. Unlike its predecessors, VOKATOR's advanced engine uses
1024 bands. In addition to its stunningly transparent, full-resolution
operation, VOKATOR's bands can even be grouped together for a
convincing vintage-vocoder emulation. To ensure optimal dynamic range
across the frequency spectrum, an integrated multi-band compressor
balances the levels of all bands.


Fully Configurable Design

A pair of vocoding channels can either be spectrally combined or
played independently. Channel A can be switched between an integrated
file player or external input A, while Channel B can be set to a
full-featured synthesizer, a time-stretching granular sampler, or
external input B. For a traditional vocoder effect, the frequency
spectrum of the external input would be controlled by the synthesizer,
but VOKATOR's capabilities are much more advanced than simple
vocoding.


Diverse Sound Sources

VOKATOR is both an effect plug-in and a vocoder-based synthesizer. Its
synthesizer features an advanced dual-oscillator design with dynamic
preset morphing controlled by the modulation wheel. VOKATOR's granular
sampler can independently control a sample's pitch and time. A full
range of modulators - step sequencers, envelope followers, LFOs, and
more - can be easily routed to any of the synthesizer's or sampler's
parameters.
