hi Florian,

for the Florian Schneider electronic poem, you have used the A129 vocoder, right?

you have indeed achieved very clear results.

best regards,
Bakis.

If I understand it right, it provides some amount of the carrier signal 

to the modulator chain. This carrier2modulator signal is compressed by 

the incoming modulator signal (e.g. voice in the standard usage).



What I do not understand: this "pause signal" will be assumingly a very 

wobbly sound, because the changes of overtone will be exponentiated bye 

the self vocoding. Does it really sound good?



And @ggtonet:



Additionally to the other recommendations I'd like to add:



You should have compressors for the Vocoder. At least one. You can use 

an external compressor or a combination of A175 Inverter and A130 linear 

VCA as used in Ingos example.



Then I suggest a second A119 Ext-In, to reassure, that your carrier 

signal is at a correct level. Typical studio line signals have lower 

level than the internal signals of the A100. If you don't adopt the 

signal level, you will have a bad signal to noise ratio.



Also I recommend a high pass filter. There are at least two usages for it:

1.) Mix a little bit of the high frequencies of the original modulator 

signal to the output. This increases the understandability of vocoded 

speech extremely (I have made the well know example for the A129 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLRgjzEjFkM with this trick).

2.) taking away a littlebit of the bottom end of the modulator input 

signal before the (recommended) compressor increases the overall "power" 

of the final signal.
