VCV Rack VS TAL-Vocoder

> It’s haven’t bought any Modular’s yet but I’m really looking forward to getting into other on the new year. http://cardinal.kx.studio https://vcvrack.com/ The former is libre and gratis, runs as a standalone or plugin and in the browser!! and is based on the latter. Ther former has a libre and gratis standalone version, the plugin version is non-gratis. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

A music synthesizer. It's a pathway to learning electronics, music, and the nature of sound. There are cheap kits, cheap synths, lots of kinds of synths, and there are much more complicated and expensive systems you can grow into. You can get software synths also, VCV Rack is a free though complex one: https://vcvrack.com/ However I'd recommend an inexpensive hardware one with real knobs you can turn, like one... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

What really opened my eyes was the Nord Micromodular; it taught me what I just described. It showed me how limited other synths were - but that limitation was a trade-off because it's much faster to make something on a fixed-structure synth than on a modular, in most cases. Nowadays, you can use https://vcvrack.com/ instead of a small limited box that needs Windows 98 to run the editor on. Source: 11 months ago

Also I would suggest the paid version of VCV rack which works as a VST too ( the free version is just stand alone ) Expecially when experimenting with modular ( believe me, it can save you a fortune whilst you learn what different modules do ) I would also recommend Omri Cohens Youtube channel for learning this too.

Would be way easier with VCV rack than a DAW as there's already almost 3k modules including a lot of granular and other complex ones that blow away a lot of pedals: https://vcvrack.com/. Source: 12 months ago

TAL Vocoder I think is free, and will give you a lot of functionality in the vocoder range. The signal routing for vocoder is actually a really great opportunity to learn some of the more complex functionality of your audio programs. You will have to figure out how to properly set the carrier and modulator within your own DAW. There is also some "auto" vocoding that can happen where TAL provides you some carriers...

TAL Vocoder just released a new version... Source: about 1 year ago

TAL Vocoder is a free one you can use: https://tal-software.com/products/tal-vocoder. Source: about 1 year ago

The Arturia Vocoder works a little differently than most Vocoder plug-ins. It works as an instrument (rather than an audio effect) and your DAW will need to be able to send side-chain audio to it.

TAL Vocoder is not one that I've played with much, but one of my friends loves it and he makes really good music. Source: over 1 year ago
