Zynthian as VOCODER

Kiron · December 4, 2018, 6:38am

Hi everybody!

Does anybody tryed to use Zynthian as vocoder with AudioInjector (zero, is the same as non-zero)?

I realy love The Kraftwerk

If you dont know what i mean, just play the song “The Robots”.

Many thanks.

Please, could you send an audio record? It’s easy to do using the audio-recorder from the admin menu.
Ahh! And it would be really nice if you attach a snapshot of your setup

I have no record, i have only the question if it is possible in real time using Zynthian and microphone

I think the answer is: YES…

… but: I havn’t tried this. But Fernando has a Zynthian with (IMHO) AudioInjector and added Reverb and spacy effects to a Kalimba. So why not use a Vocoder (with MOD-UI this should be possible).

And also with the Jalv engine, enabling the vocoder plugin from the webconf tool

I found Vocoder in the menu as Special layer. Does it automaticaly grab soundcard input? There isn’t any configuration.

And 2nd question: web-ui (mod-ui) is for Zynthian configuation or for external hardware (Mod Duo etc.) only?

If is, how to test it? I see only 2 sound input and output, but nothing is changing in the sound when i connected it with some effect (in web mod-ui).

Is there any basic how-to?

Thanks and good night.

And any info how sound routing with mod-ui confugured from web interface works is welcome

Today everything works perfectly.

Good work!

I’m going to test the audioinjector.

I’m also interested in this, what kind of mic do you use and does it have a preamp?

I am using microphone on my computer headphones for skyping!

AudioInjector has their own microphone input and line input too.

Hello, trying to reanimate this Topic:

Presumed, other effects are working, e.g. Distortion, Limiter etc., so I think physical Routing is right:

However I get no Output from Zynthian when running the Vocoder.
Did anyone manage to get it working?

Given the zynth only really recognises one stereo in, and is a stereo infrastructure all we could probably manage for a vocoder is left * right , which means you have to treat the two channels as independent.

It’s an area we are still a little vague on (IMHO)

Stupps · March 2, 2020, 12:26pm

That might be a reason, as I am running the inputjack as a symmetrical in. Thus, if Zynthian Vocoder is exspecting L/R asymmetrical at Ground referrence, it doesn’t see any Input Signal.

Thank you for replying.
