#PROSONIQ ORANGE VOCODER PLUG IN SOFTWARE#
The graphics are, as you might expect, orange, and it's nice to see the most being made of a software interface, with easy‑to‑see knob pointers, text readout of parameter values, and a clearly laid‑out panel display. Prosoniq's Orange Vocoder plug‑in uses 24 bands of filtering for detailed articulation, and adds a lot more functions besides. Thus, the frequency content and dynamics of the modulator signal are imposed on the basic tonality of the carrier to provide the unique vocoder effect (for a more detailed explanation, see Gordon Reid's Synth Secrets from SOS July 2000). The vocoder works by splitting the frequency spectrum of the main 'modulator' audio signal into a number of bands, and using the levels of these bands to control the levels of frequency bands in a second, 'carrier' signal. Nowadays it's rather better known for novelty sounds like talking guitars, but it has many other musical applications, from ethereal pads to exotic drum loops.
