Classic Vocoder Effects

While you may not need to use a vocoder every day, when you do need one, you need one that sounds awesome and gives you complete sonic control. That's why XILS-lab based the Vocoder 5000 plug-in on the EMS Flagship Vocoder, known as one of the most powerful and versatile analog vocoders ever created. At the heart of any good vocoder is a great filter bank, and XILS-lab's digital filters are among the best we've heard at Sweetwater. The XILS-lab Vocoder 5000 plug-in will deliver whatever vocoder sounds you need, whether you're looking to change the gender of a voice with subtle formant shifts or do a full-on robot voice effect.

Perfect vocoder plug-in for tweakers

If you're seriously into sound design and sonic sculpting, you'll dig the impressive range of controls and parameters the Vocoder 5000 plug-in offers. The powerful matrix patch area lets you connect any band of the analysis filter bank to any band of the synthesis filter bank, and the sidechain input lets you add external audio to the carrier signal. Between the powerful routing and filtering capabilities, the two powerful synth sections each provide two oscillators plus a noise oscillator, two LFOs, and one ADSR envelope. And if all that sounds like gibberish to you, but you still want great vocoding effects, don't worry - the XILS-lab Vocoder 5000 plug-in has plenty of great presets to help you achieve a wide range of effects instantly.

XILS-lab Vocoder 5000 Plug-in Features:
  • Vocoder plug-in based on the famous EMS Flagship Vocoder
  • Dual synthesizer cores each with two oscillators, noise osc, two LFOs, and one ADSR envelope
  • Sidechain lets you add an external audio signal to the carrier signal
  • Filter matrix lets you choose between 20 or 22 bands, with selectable 12, 18, or 24dB/octave rolloff
  • Oscillator types include saw, pulse, triangle and sine, with frequency modulation and pulse width modulation available
For a powerful vocoder, turn to the XILS-lab Vocoder 5000!

Reviews

Love it
It does what it should. That's the sound i was looking for. My goto example of the sound i wanted is catch me I'm falling…

I used the logic Synth before and wasn't quite happy with it.

Now I am.
Clean Vocoder
This is the most beautiful vocoder I have ever used. It is easy to use and there is no artificial noise on the vocoder like some other more expensive vocoder in the market place. If you are looking for a great vocoder for a good price, this is it. I will be using this vocoder on a song called "alien love" by D.J Lyns, which will be released in ending of May 2018.
Music background: I am a music producer and sound engineer
Most Accurate Vocoder to date
I've been searching for a good sounding Vocoder for years. Especially after Daft Punk started the whole Vocoder trend, I had to have one. I tried pretty much everything but for AAX/Mac there is not too much and all the software Vocoders I tried were too complicated, not accurate, just harmonizer effects, etc.

This Vocoder is basically the same effect Daft Punk used for songs like Within, including the vibrato effect at the end of some verses.

Easy to use, great sounds and very easy to tweak. Worth it every penny.
powerful vocoder plug in
while this product is geared toward emulation of classic vintage hardware vocoders of the past, it also has a sound of its own and a good one. while this is subjective assessment, i A/B'ed the XILS lab 5K and izotope Vocal synth before going with this purchase. Having access to all parameters much in the way of a substrative synth, i felt much more in control of the creative sound design process than with the vocal synth which seemed to have a sound of its own that was impossible to depart from.

Spending time with the oscillators filters and modulations yielded good results in terms of fitting in the mix, intelligibility and character.

One piece i'm still learning to figure out is to recall patches across sessions.
