Steinberg Software-und-Hardware GmnH, the market leader of music sofware on both Macintosh and Windows platforms today announced the Prosoniq Orange Vocoder PlugIn for Macintosh VST. This high-quality PlugIn digitally simulates a 24-band analog vocoder from the long tradition of German vocoder manfacturers such as the EMS/Rehberg system.

Prosoniq has created a realistic analog sounding analog sounding vocoder effect that is fully customizable and comes with an 8-voice virtual analog synthesizer unit and Freeform EQ and Filterband Reverb. The use of advance filter design technology and highly efficient coding techniques make this a powerful sound design.

Features:

• Realtime vocoder effect uses either any input source/VST audio track or the built-in oscillator as a carrier signal, and any VST audio track as a modulator.
• Fully customizable Freeform EQ with a maximum 2 nodes, ranging from +20 kHz to -20 kHz and resolving from +30dB to -30dB DFS
• Input channel flip to instantly exchange carrier and modulator signals
• Post-Vocoder Filterbank Reverb effect with mix, decay and density
• 64-bit internal processing

• 8-voice with 2 oscillators per voice
• 10 basic waveforms (from pulse to cycloid)
• 7 sampled sounds
• Voice detune, pitch LFO
• 4-pole low pass filter with cutoff and resonance
• Oscillator hard sync and ring modulator

• Voice effects like robot, mouth tube and voice box
• Triggering pad sounds with rhythmic phrases
• Twisting drum loops to creat totally new material
• Morphing between two audio signals

Orange Vocoder PlugIn will be available in Q4 98 for a MSRP $199 at Steinberg Dealers worldwide.
