I did not realize #SurgeXT had some #vocoder presets built in
I can do hilarious yet cool things with this
Also a reminder that SurgeXT is #OpenSource and really damned amazing
@madopal oh my god!!! I am not entirely sure I’ve seen this video?! But the song was absolutely massive at the time in my circles. Anything to do with freaks, like the band Whodini. Also I have an almost fetishistic love for any song with a vocoder in it. If you look at #vocoder omg I went kinda crazy with it on here for a bit
Here’s Akiko Yano doing backups & a lil duetty part on that track he was talking about “Radio Silence” (1982) #MusicVideo #vocoder https://youtu.be/Yj_yFpL6uoE
❝ I used a vocoder, which was originally developed as spy technology, to disguise voices. It fitted the concept. ❞

Some tasty #vocoder (or something) in here at the end, @edithfrost...
Jem “Aciiid!” (2009) a weird one for her but I dig it, it’s fun. Has touches of #vocoder too. I need to get caught up on her music but the other stuff I’ve heard has been more broody-pop than this. https://youtu.be/edo3Z8NguFo
@Defiance @synths yep, that;s the original version. This was a huge hit in Montreal. You can tell they got some inspiration from Kraftwerk. And how about Bill Vorn on that Casio VL-Tone! Mine here is a vl-1, pretty sure it is the same model they used. #Casio #synth #synthesizers and some judicious use of #vocoder
This is long and rambley, but for the first time I finally (think I) understand how a #talkbox works vs a #vocoder pedal like the one I got, the red Boss VO-1. They demonstrated it well enuf that I finally get it. And now I want a talkbox too of course haha! https://youtu.be/M9NLDvf_ZPU
