Togu Audio Line has released v1.0 of TAL-Vocoder 2, a freeware vocoder effect in VST, AU, and AAX plugin formats for digital audio workstations on PC and Mac.
TAL-Vocoder 2 emulates vintage hardware vocoders like the Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus, the Korg VC-10, and the Sennheiser VSM 201. It features an internal carrier module with the ability to use an external carrier signal. The new version adds a chorus effect and faster clipping response.
Here’s the official product info provided by Togu Audio Line:
TAL-Vocoder is a vintage vocoder emulation with 11 bands that emulates the sound of vocoders from the early ’80s. It includes analog modeled components in combination with digital algorithms such as the SFFT (Short-Time Fast Fourier Transform).
This vocoder does not make a direct convolution of the carrier and modulation signal as other digital vocoders maybe do. It includes an envelope follower for every one of the eleven bands. This vocoder is optimized for voice processing and includes some algorithms for consonants to make the voice more intelligible.
The carrier signal is a VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) with a Pulse, Saw, Noise and SubOsc. But it’s also possible to use the left stereo input as carrier. This way every sound source can be used as a carrier signal. This plug-in supports every sample rate.
TAL-Vocoder 2 is included in our list of the best free vocoder VST plugins.
