Using Vocodex
Vocodex is a traditional vocoder and allows you to modulate a vocal. It is used a little differently than most vocoder plugins though, as it doesn’t require MIDI Out to operate. Instead, you can directly use an instrument sound in the mixer.
- To start, you will need to already have a vocal and an instrument playing chord MIDI notes routed to the mixer. We already did this in steps 1–6 in the preceding section on Harmonizing vocals with Pitcher; go through those steps first if you haven’t already.
In the Vocoder mixer channel that we created earlier, mute any other effects and add the Vocodex plugin, as shown in the following screenshot:
