Vocaloid2

Does the Japanese Vocaloid software series count as a Vocoder? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.122.193 (talk) 23:30, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This has been unanswered for a long time, but the answer is no. Vocaloid uses digital samples of the human voice which are glued together to form words. This isn't how a vocoder works.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 13:40, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

sparky's magic piano

no mention of this recording from 1947, a novelty use of the vocoder effect decades before the other cited examples. not even a "see also:" why not?

Because it isn't a vocoder. Sparky's Magic Piano uses a Sonovox, which is a version of a talk box.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 06:52, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Isao Tomita used a vocoder??

I don't hear it but maybe I'm mistaken, I think he is emulating the sound of singers manipulating the synth. Mirad1000 (talk) 18:06, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some tracks by Tomita, such as "Golliwog's Cakewalk" on Snowflakes Are Dancing use a singing voice effect on a Moog synthesizer. He uses a Korg VC-10 vocoder on later albums such as The Bermuda Triangle in 1978 [1] which is the year that the VC-10 was released. He can also be seen demonstrating a vocoder here.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 20:53, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the First Circle

Should this article reference Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's classic novel "In the First Circle", which substantially revolves around an attempt to construct a vocoder? 47.203.66.188 (talk) 02:45, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. --Wtshymanski (talk) 23:47, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's too tangential and In the First Circle doesn't mention this.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 07:45, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
