Multiplex Vocoder 3: Multi-Layer Vocoder Plugin by Digital Brain Instruments Free Download

The core of Multiplex Vocoder 3 is four vocoders running in parallel. Each layer's output can be activated or deactivated by input level, and you can set a minimum threshold to switch the outputs on or off individually. This gives more dynamic results as the input changes.

You can feed the vocoders from a microphone or from WAV, AIFF and MP3 files. A built-in sample editor lets you select the part of the file to process, adjust playback speed, reverse playback, loop the region and apply pitch shifting. A file browser helps you load material quickly.

The Master Rack hosts three VST/AU plugins on the master output, along with pitch shifting and frequency shifting. A dry-wet mix control morphs between the unprocessed and processed signal, and a vocoders mix control morphs between the vocoder outputs.

For capturing results, the product can record the processed output as WAV or AIFF files at up to 192kHz / 32-bit, depending on your soundcard. You can record the source input separately, or record each vocoder layer to its own file. Autokey lets you play the vocoders without a MIDI keyboard, and MIDI control is supported through your own device.
