How to Vocode Your Voice

US Matt Johnson channels his inner Roger Troutman      26/06/25

Matt Johnson's Keyspace is lesser known for his vocal talents, but here we have a look at vocoding, with all manner of hardware options on show. It's a great insight into how to process your voice, including tips on setting up your synths and looking at some units which do the job in situ.

A few years back I wrote an article on vocoders, which you can read here: https://sonicstate.com/news/2021/09/13/robot-rock-a-history-of-vocoders/

Now for the man himself Roger Troutman... can't you just listen to this all day?!
