So the general idea is that we are going to use the filters and effects in the Pentagon I synth to manipulate an audio signal. A modulator which is the signal you want to run through the vocoder.A carrier which is the sound you want to run your signal through (Pentagon I in our case).

Although it has a lot of uses, in this tip we're going to discuss a less common use for Pentagon I - using it as a vocoder.įrom Wikipedia: "is a synthesis system in which the input is passed through a multiband filter, each filter is passed through an envelope follower, the control signals from the envelope followers are communicated, and the decoder applies these (amplitude) control signals to corresponding filters in the (re)synthesizer." The Pentagon I is a performance oriented synth that offers the warm, classic sound of vintage analog synthesizers. This tip is an expanded version of a tip originally written by Craig Anderton for EQ Magazine.
