Product Detail
The XILS Lab Vocoder 5000 is an amazing organic vocoder inspired by the EMS Flagship Vocoder (EMS 5000 - 1976 -). Using knowledge from emulating the VCS3 synthesizer and the VP300 VocoderPlus, XILS - lab crafted this great model. A vocoder lets you process external sound sources like musical instruments or prerecorded signals. With or without a keyboard, you can turn them into a wide range of sounds. The human voice can be transformed, changing its pitch, tone, vibrato, etc. You can even create a choir from one voice or melodies from speech. It's not just for voices; drums, guitars, and all kinds of synthesizers can be processed to add analog life or reshape them. This vocoder emulates the complex filtering and circuitry of its analog counterpart for an organic, clear sound. It's beginner - friendly with a standard single - panel view and many presets. For veterans, there are advanced panels with dozens of parameters. In the 21st century, it offers advanced features like more band numbers, filter types, and 2 LFOs that its ancestor didn't have. You can also draw lines in the Matrix and use its presets.
Using the XILS Lab Vocoder 5000 is easy. First, connect your external sound source, like a musical instrument or a prerecorded signal, to the vocoder. You can start with the presets on the single - panel view if you're new. Just select a preset that suits your needs, and you're good to go. If you want to process the human voice, speak into the input device connected to the vocoder. You can then adjust the pitch, tone, and vibrato using the available controls. For more advanced users, switch to the advanced panels to explore detailed parameters. When using it to process drums, guitars, or other synthesizers, experiment with different settings to get the analog feel or reshape the sound as you like. Regarding the Matrix, you can freely draw lines to customize the sound further and save your favorite settings as presets. As for maintenance, keep the software up - to - date to ensure optimal performance. Avoid using it in extremely hot or humid environments.
