Vocoder

Audio

Channel vocoder analyzing a modulator to shape a carrier signal.

Splits both modulator and carrier through parallel bandpass filter banks (4-32 bands). Envelope followers on the modulator bands control the amplitude of corresponding carrier bands, transferring the spectral shape.

Tips

  • Use speech as modulator and a rich synth (saw wave) as carrier for classic robot voice.

Inputs

NameTypeDescription
modulatorThe signal whose spectral envelope is extracted (typically voice).
carrierThe signal being shaped (typically a synth or noise).
