Wowcoder

Wowcoder — is a VST effect plug-in for Windows that recreates a classical 16-band digital vocoder.

Wowcoder does not have an internal synthesizer: the modulator and carrier come from an external signal. This approach of using external synthesizers provides more varied and rich sounding timbres.

Additional tuning of timbre can be made by regulating the level of one of 16 frequency bands, as well as with the following knobs: attack, decay, bandwidth and whisper. In addition, the received signal can be processed by the effects section. There are three slots with five effects: chorus, crusher, distortion, reverb and compression.

The built-in preset manager makes it easy to save the settings and quickly access them or share them with other Wowcoder users.

In addition, VST automation and full MIDI Learning are supported.

Using Wowcoder

Wowcoder is a classical vocoder, therefore for it to work correctly, two signals are necessary: carrier and modulator. The left channel is for the modulator and the right channel is for the carrier. In various DAW such a connection is made differently.

In Image-Line FL Studio

1. Add a vocal track (modulator) and set its panning to the left.
2. Add a synthesizer track (carrier) and set its panning to the right:
3. Add Wowcoder to mixer track #1 and send both vocal and synthesizer channels to it.
4. Add both channels to the Playlist:
5. Play the song.

In Steinber Cubase

1. Add an Audio Track (modulator), import vocal audio and set its panning to Left.
2. Add an Instrument Track (carrier), select any synthesizer and set its paning to Right.
3. Add an FX Track and select Wowcoder.
4. Send both Audio Track and Instrument Track to FX Track with Wowcoder in Mixer:
5. Record some notes for the synthesizer
6. Play the song.
