TC 的 PowerCore 平台又獲第三廠商支援，新增一個 Plugin，這次是偏合成器導向的 Vocoder PlugIn。設計者是在合成器硬體方面小有名氣的 WALDORF。訂價是美金$250，雖說Waldorf做的產品一向都不錯，但就一個專做Vocoder 的軟體而言好像實在有點貴。有興趣考慮 PowerCore或需要 Vocoder 的人可以參考。 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>WALDORF D-Coder for POWERCORE goes beyond classic Vocoder concepts by providing an integrated synthesizer as tone generator. This way no external carrier signal is required to make the vocoding effect audible. D-Coder is based on DSP technology used in the popular Waldorf synthesizers, now made accessible to POWERCORE users from inside any VST or MAS compatible sequencer. D-coder has everything you need to create sophisticated vocoding effects, in one easy to use interface! The included polyphonic synthesizer, featuring that classic Waldorf sound, eliminates the need for external carriers. Need to fatten up the effect? Use the integrated Chorus unit. A 3 band EQ section rounds out the processing section, allowing you to emphasize critical speech frequencies, going way beyond what is possible with most other vocoders. D-coder is fully VST 2.0 compatible, and can be played from a MIDI track or in real-time from a keyboard. D-coder is so flexible, the synthesizer section can be played independently of the vocoder section! If you are using a VST 2.0 compatible sequencer, all LFOs can follow MIDI sync, allowing you to independently modulate the synthesizer and the vocoder in musically relevant values such as 8 bars. With the included Carrier plug-in, you can also vocode audio without using the synthesizer section! Combine different audio tracks for unbelievable results. Features * 3 to 100 band Vocoder * Dual Oscillator Polyphonic Synthesizer with Ring Modulation * Source Mixer for Analysis, Vocoder and Synth sections * Integrated effects including 3 band EQ, Chorus and Drive * Carrier plug-in included * High resolution Analysis and Vocode channel meters * Fully VST 2.0 compatible * LFO Modulation of Vocoder Filters * All LFOs respond to MIDI Sync * Responds to Polyphonic MIDI, Monophonic MIDI, or Free Run, where you can Vocode without any MIDI at all! SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS A Mac or PC Equipped with a POWERCORE Any VST or MAS application such as Cubase SX, Digital Performer, Live, Logic or Nuendo <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
