Vocotron is a VST instrument plug-in for Windows that combines the
functions of a sampler and vocoder. Vocotron's keyboard is divided into two
key zones, like on the classic Mellotron and Chamberlin "samplers". However,
the zone.fs functions are slightly different: the left side reproduces
samples and is a modulator for the integrated vocoder, and the right side
sets the tone, it is the carrier for the vocoder.
To extract the sound from Vocotron, just pick a chord on the right side of
the keyboard, and then start pressing keys in the sample zone. By changing
the chords you can get the sound of your waves in different tonalities.
For a modulator, you can use embedded samples (from three internal banks)
and custom wave files. For those purposes Vocotron has a built-in sampler
with such possibilities as: key mapping, wave looping and reversing, pitch
tuning and pitch shifting.

The heart of Vocotron is a high precision 32-band vocoder with a frequency
range from 100 Hz to 16 KHz. In order to fine-tune the tone, you can tweak
the bandwidth as well as the level of each of the 32 frequency bands.
The carrier is set by an internal synthesizer with two oscillators with
detune and FM-modulation, mono/stereo modes and glide. The short right side
of the keyboard is compensated by the extending range of coarse tuning.
The Vocotron is not limited to working with vocals and drums. Combining a
sampler and vocoder provides a new original way to get unusual sounds. With a
Vocotron you can get interesting-sounding basses, pads, textures and rhythmic
backing.
