    From Wikipedia:

    Vocoder has appeared on pop recordings from time to time ever since, but in most of cases vocoder works just as a some kind of special effect in pop music. However, many experimental electronic artists and representors of "new age" genre often utilize vocoder in a more comprehensive manner. Jean Michel Jarre (album Zoolook, 1984) and Mike Oldfield (album Five Miles Out, 1982) are good examples. There are also some artists who have made vocoder an essential part of their music. Those include the famous German group Kraftwerk, Roger Troutman's Zapp, jazz/fusion keyboardist Herbie Hancock during his late 1970s disco period, Patrick Cowley's late recordings and more recently, avant-garde-pop group Trans Am. The song "O Superman" by avant-garde musician Laurie Anderson is a popular recording released in 1981 that incorporates the vocoder. The KLF used vocoder-distorted voices in their 1991 "Stadium House" mix Last Train to Trancentral (Live from the Lost Continent). In 1998, Marilyn Manson utilized the vocoder heavily in their glam- and 70s-influenced LP Mechanical Animals, whereon such songs as "User Friendly" and "Posthuman" among others make substantial use of the technology. Since 1998, Manson has favored the live concert use of vocoders and many concert-goers can hear him use the technology when performing many songs, notably, "Antichrist Superstar". The bands Mogwai, The Faint, Air, Ween, and Death from Above 1979 all have extensive use of the vocoder. Daron Malakian, guitarist of System of a Down has used a Vocoder in the songs Sugar, War?, and Old School Hollywood. Muse also used a vocoder on their latest album, Black Holes and Revelations, most notably when performing the song "Supermassive Black Hole' live. French house duo Daft Punk are also very well-known for their use of vocoders for their songs that contain lyrics. Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters used a vocoder in the 1999 song, "Generator". During his live performances, singer-songwriter Martin Sexton is well know for singing into a vocoder to simulate lead guitar while he simultaneously plays rythym.
    Legendary funk artist Prince recorded the vocals to his 2006 song "Incense and Candles" using a vocoder. This song can be heard on the album 3121.

  • thanks hendrake, glad you're appreciating.

    here's that Seu Jorge w/ vocoder (produced by Mario Caldato no less). I must be feelin generous cause this has been one of those secret staples of mine that folks always love and rarely know.




  • I'm a buy you a draaaaank....

  • Is the Vocoder different from the Roger Voicebox?

    Zapp/Roger used the Vocoder
    Frampton used the Voicebox

    (as per wikipedia)


    and I think the major difference is that the voicebox had that plastic tube that you actually put in your mouth whereas the vocoder is more of a processing the signal after-the-fact. correct me if I'm wrong, but they are all variations of the same thing.

    The talk box just uses the physical accoustics of changing the shape of the mouth tounge (ie how we make sounds to make words) to affect the signal.

    Vocoders use the characteristics of the carrier signal (the voice) and finding its fundamental frequency, measures how the sound is being altered by speaking words, and then applies that data to the voice signal (the synth in 99% of cases).

    So a vocoder is doing electronically what a talk box does physically.
