01Overview

Multiplex Vocoder 3 Upgrade is offered for owners of Multiplex Vocoder 2 who want the newer version of the vocoder. The developer describes the software as a tool for sound design and music production that lets any VST or AU instrument act as the vocoder carrier signal. Producers can process their own voice, microphone input or audio files, then shape the result with layered vocoders, sample editing and master processing. A full version of Multiplex Vocoder 3 is also available from the same developer.

03In depth

Vocoder Layers and Input Control

The core of the plugin is four vocoders running at the same time. Each vocoder output can be activated or deactivated based on input level, and you can set a minimum threshold for each one. This input-dependent mode lets the vocoder layers respond to the dynamics of your source, which can make the output more animated.

Dry-wet mixing and cross-morphing between the vocoder outputs give you control over how the layers blend. Autokey lets you play the vocoders without a MIDI keyboard, and you can also control the plugin with a MIDI device.

Sample Editing, Master Rack and Recording

The sample editor lets you select the part of an audio file to process, adjust playback speed, reverse playback, loop the region and apply pitch shifting. Supported input files include WAV, AIFF and MP3.

The master rack processes the output through three VST or AU plugins, with pitch shifting and frequency shifting. For capture, you can record WAV or AIFF files at up to 192kHz and 32-bit, depending on your soundcard. Source recording saves the original input to a separate file, and layers recording saves each vocoder output on its own file.
