OrangeVocoder3 is the successor of the highly acclaimed Prosoniq OrangeVocoder plug in first released in 1998. Being an unprecedented success, this plug in can since be heard in uncountable Top10 productions around the world, inspiring top producers in their sound design and composition work. Today it is still unrivalled for its unique sound and flexibility.

Extended information

OrangeVocoder3 now adds to this tremendous versatility a wealth of new features including advanced MIDI control for the built-in synth, support for loading sound files, virtually unlimited polyphony, mono-mode with glide for classic R'n'B talkbox imitations, freely assignable filter bands, and a realtime 24band analyzer control.

What's more, OrangeVocoder3 offers 5 different basic sound modes for all types of style, and some very advanced filterbank effects, including a formant freeze function, a filterbank sample & hold option and a voiced/unvoiced detector.

The novel fully automatable "phoneme dial" lets you string together sentences without external speech signals, making this plug in a powerful vocal synthesizer. The phonemes can even be played on any MIDI keyboard, giving you realtime control over all aspects of the synthesis. Phonemes are vocal utterances that provide the basic building blocks of speech - they encompass vowels, consonants, semivowels and diphtongs.
