h3>Vocoder and Vintage Multi - Effect
The X201 Vocoder offers exceptional clarity. It's modeled after a super - rare and expensive vocoder unit, with unmatched intelligibility.
It bridges the gap between iconic artists like Kraftwerk, Herbie Hancock, and modern acts like Daft Punk.
Two Filter Banks
Each of its two filter banks has 20 frequency bands. It can process voice, drums, or other signals, offering more clarity than the Roland VP - 330's 10 - band design.
The Carrier
Use the internal analog synthesizer as a carrier for a unique sound. You can also use external signals like other voices or synths.
The Silence Bridging
This feature has a multiband frequency - dependent envelope follower engine. It's great for shaping the gain of percussive or rhythmic sounds.
How It Works in Any DAW
Record your voice, then choose the internal synth as the carrier. Send MIDI notes to make your voice sing those notes or chords.
More Features
We've exposed internal circuitry parameters not available on the original unit, making it more versatile. Added vintage analog - modeled effects like Chorus, Phaser, Delay, and an early digital reverb. You can customize effect routing.
As a Multi - Effect
Use the X201 as a simple multi - effect on Rhodes, Clavinet, or String Machine patches to rediscover vintage organic sounds.
Using the X201 Vocoder is easy. First, record your voice. You don't have to sing perfectly. Then, select the internal synth as the carrier. After that, send MIDI notes to the carrier so your voice can sing those notes or chords. You can also use external signals as the carrier, like other voices or synths. When using the filter banks, know that each has 20 frequency bands and can handle different types of signals. For the silence bridging feature, it's great for shaping the gain of percussive or rhythmic sounds. You can customize the effect routing and order of the added vintage effects like chorus, phaser, delay, and reverb. As a multi - effect, try it on Rhodes, Clavinet, or String Machine patches. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you have any technical issues, refer to the user manual or contact customer support.
