TAL Software is a small Swiss company founded in the early 2000s. TAL (Togu Audio Line) creates high quality instruments and effects with user-friendly interfaces, and has reasonable — often free — pricing structures. The vintage synth emulations are accurate and have an authentic feel which has lead to TAL Software being frequently name-dropped in interviews with popular producers and musicians.
The TAL Vocoder is a vintage vocoder emulation with eleven bands that emulates the sound of vocoders from the early 80’s. It includes analogue modelled components in combination with digital algorithms such as the SFFT (Short-Time Fast Fourier Transform). This vocoder includes an envelope follower for every of the eleven bands and does not make a direct convolution of the carrier and modulation signal as other digital vocoders do.
It is optimised for voice processing and includes some algorithms for consonants to make the voice more intelligible. The carrier signal is a VCO with a Pulse, Saw, Noise, and SubOsc, but it’s also possible to use the left stereo input as carrier, which means every sound source can be used as carrier signal. This plug-in supports every sample rate.
Features:
- 11 band vocoder engine
- Internal carrier synth (pulse, saw, sub osc, noise, mono, poly, portamento, sync mode, tune)
- Possibility to route an external carrier signal
- Harmonic control (adds more harmonics to any carrier signal)
- “Ess” enhancer for a clean understandable voice, also with a carrier that hasn’t much high frequencies
- Clip LED, glows if the input signal will be clipped
- Panic button stops hanging notes within the synth
- Documentation shows different routing possiblities
- Low CPU usage
- Side-Chain input
Note: Currently working on stereo channels only.
