ELS Vocoder : powerful and simple to use

The ELS Vocoder^® faithfully reproduces analog vocoder sounds which have been used by many artists in the electronic music history.
It also includes a wide range of rare and new features, which makes it unique, powerful and simple to use. A Sidechain plugin allows to route any track to the ELS Vocoder in a simple and efficient way. You can have up to 3 stereo inputs without the need for complex routing manipulations or multichannel busses.

Key features Analog vocoder sound Standard vocoder features : pitch tracker, voiced/unvoiced detector, two VCOs, two LFOs, noise generator, etc.. Several waveforms : saw, square, triangle, sine, mutlipulse with pulse width and FM modulation Formant matrix What makes all the difference Two sidechain inputs allow flexible and very easy routing : use any external synth, mixed with the internal one. Multiple filter bank configuration to emulate several vocoder sounds : 22, 20, 18 bands, 24/18/12 dB/oct filters, and more to come.. Easy to use interface, and advanced settings for each module Aliasing free waveforms : deep basses, precises mediums, clear and transparent highs Frequency shifter, with modulation capabilities from the pitch tracker

Analog vocoder sound
The ELS Vocoder uses the same filtering techniques that a real analog vocoder, which allows you to get the same sound, the same precision and the same clarity than with "vintage" vocoders.
Its oscillators also use a synthesis technique which produces a sound with the same harmonic richness than real analog oscillators. Thanks to the ELS Vocoder oscillators, the vocoded sounds are clear and "organic" : you can almost feel the warmth that you could get with a real analog vocoder, with the same bass punch and highs precision.

Ease of use
The ELS vocoder has been designed to be very convenient and simple. If you want to process a vocal melody track, you just have to insert the ELS Vocoder in your track and let the pitch tracker follow the original pitch of the voice. The useful settings are under your fingertips, just a mouseclick away, so you have access to all the basic and useful settings that a vocoder needs. Using a powerful vocoder has never been so simple.

Sidechain
The SideChain feature allows any external input to be used as the carrier signal (in addition to the internal oscillator).  The Eiosis SideChain plugin must be inserted into the track sent to the ELS Vocoder.
The Sidechain signal may either be routed directly to the filter bank, or activated only by Voiced/Unvoiced parts of the vocoded signal.  The ELS Vocoder can handle 2 stereo Sidechain inputs, which can be routed independently, so you can use one external input for Voiced and another for Unvoiced parts.

Advanced settings
If you are a sound designer and you want to produce special effects or some new kind of vocoding effects, the ELS Vocoder is for you. Behind its simple interface, it features a lot of advanced settings for those who really want to tweak the sound. Each module has its own advanced setting panel, so it can be tuned separately and quickly. Alien voices, breathing effects, and many more can be quickly obtained, also thanks to the presets.
