Features

• Screaming analogue style filtering
  >> cutoff frequencies from 0 to 11KHz
  >> variable resonance (Q factor)
  >> low-pass, hi-pass & band-pass modes
  >> pre-post filtering options



• Versatile and powerful Filterbank for analyzing the modulator signal
  >> choose between 1 and 256 frequency analysis bands
  >> configurable analysis range from 0-11KHz
  >> configurable modulation factor



• Onboard tone generator for use as the carrier signal
  >> useful in its own right as a quality signal generator
  >> up to 8 razor sharp oscillators
  >> triangle, square, sawtooth and sine wave shapes
  >> individual pitch, fine tune, volume, wave shape
  and mute controls for each oscillator
  


• Modulate anything with anything!!!
  >> As an alternative to using the onboard tone generator, the Vocoder has a secondary mode which allows it to use the left audio input as the modulator and the right audio input as the carrier (or vice versa)



• 32-bit IEEE Floating Point internal signal path for increased signal accuracy



• Code optimization for Realtime performance on modern Pentium processor types
  >> uses between 1 - 3% CPU on an AMD Athlon XP1500 !!
  >> uses 10-20% CPU on Intel Celeron 433MHz laptop



• Direct-X Plugin Architecture is compatible with most PC audio editing software



• All parameters Fully automatable in supported host applications such as Cakewalk's Sonar 2.0



• Import/Export parameter settings to a spreadsheet file - indispensable for transferring between different host applications

Requirements

• Operating System: Windows XP/2000/98/ME (not NT)
• Hardware: 400Mhz Processor, 128Mb Ram
• DirectX Runtime - version 8.0 or later
