What Morphoder does
The plugin imposes the spectrum of one signal onto another, so intelligible vocoding is produced from a voice and a carrier made of filtered white noise or a synth. A 5-band parametric EQ shapes the result, and vocal formant, smoothing and release time are adjustable. The developer describes the built-in vocoder as going beyond vocoding into sound design.
An internal polysynth is included and can be used on its own, with 10 presets provided. It also takes MIDI from an external keyboard or synth, so the instrument can carry the carrier signal.
Key features
- Modulation sources. The modulator can be a track, sidechain input or either channel of a stereo signal, so the same vocoder can be driven from several sources.
- Internal polysynth. A built-in polysynth can be used separately from the vocoder, with 10 presets provided as starting points.
- 5-band parametric EQ. Five parametric bands shape the vocoded signal, allowing precise adjustment of tone after the spectrum is imposed.
- Formant and smoothing controls. Vocal formant, smoothing and release time are set by dedicated controls to determine how intelligible the vocoded result is.
- MIDI keyboard control. The plugin inserts like an effect but accepts MIDI keyboard input, so notes can drive the carrier.
