Other vocoder

i think this is the most efficient vocoder design in terms of size/cpu. only two devices per band (1 compressor and 1 bandsplitter) how to use this in your own tracks: https://www.notion.so/how-to-use-vocoders-in-your-tracks-on-audiotool-29cc9555d2308041b8e1db900607a71c smaller 19-band version: https://www.audiotool.com/track/ixbk4i77ik/ very small 11-band version: https://www.audiotool.com/track/kd4ml872 old laggy version: https://www.audiotool.com/track/nhkhct5uivas/

I made a vocoder generator using the new Audiotool Nexus SDK: https://rasaichimori.github.io/audiotool-vocoder/

hmm yeah i have no idea how ts works

you could possibly remake twisted garden with this method this is way too crazy for me to comprehend rn

agreed

can you make a 106 band vocoder that covers 20hz to 41khz please? I tried deconstructing this one but it gave me a massive headache untangling all of the components

Jan 26

@fonder yeah and actually i think with this approach the clarity might also be limited by the filter slope of the bandsplitter maybe

At a certain point, I doubt it will get cleaner by increasing the bands right?

but yes please explain I NEEEEEED ITTTTTTTTTT

I just need the cleanest output possible - these ones don't follow the modulator enough, and I can't hear the vocals I put into it

106 bands sounds like literal hell 😭 i can try to explain it in more detail in discord if you want but admittedly it is a bit convoluted to set up and if you make a mistake you have to basically start over. also is there a specific reason why you want 106? you could probably get the same result by going a bit lower and limiting to 20hz - 20khz (human hearing range)

Very cool

Impressive

Really cool

explanation: the trick is to use phase cancellation instead of envelope followers. the carrier signal is inverted so it cancels itself out completely. then i split both signals into 27 frequency bands (log spaced 40hz to 15.7khz) and sidechain compress each inverted carrier band with the modulator. when the modulator is loud at a frequency, the compressor squashes the inverted carrier which breaks the cancellation and you hear sound. when it's quiet, perfect cancellation = silence.

This is more than my brain can handle, but I'll try :sad-thumbs-up-cat:
